[Video] CNN Caught Inventing Quote To Slam Rashida Tlaib & Criticize Gov. Whitmer
CNN's Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and others were caught propagating a quote from Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib that she never actually said or implied. I break down the whole story here.
Imagine that, she's a member of the democratic party so she is guilty by association of supporting genocide. Starting to feel the cognitive dissonance yet?
Oho, I see the problem. See the interview here:
This bit:
"“We’ve had the right to dissent, the right to protest,” Tlaib says. “We’ve done it for climate, the immigrant rights movement, for Black lives, and even around issues of injustice among water shutoffs. But it seems that the attorney general decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs.”
Nessel is the first Jewish person to be elected Attorney General of Michigan."
So it wasn't Tlaib saying the religion of the AG was an issue, Tlaib stated it points to "possible biases" in the AGs office, the author of the article, or perhaps their editor, inserted the line perhaps to clarify which bias Tlaib was talking about.
Factcheck article from the same source here endorsing that idea:
