Trump Tells Laura Ingraham That Putin Invaded Ukraine ‘Because Of A Rigged Election’

Shortly after Russian forces began a military attack on Ukraine Wednesday evening, failed, one-term former President Donald Trump called into Fox News for the sole purpose of airing his bogus claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.

Trump began by slamming the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, telling Ingraham:

“He doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. It’s a disgrace. It’s an absolute disgrace. We have get back into the real world now. We had energy at a level that nobody’s ever seen.”

The ex-president also suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin moved on Ukraine because of the “weakness and incompetence and stupidity” of the Biden administration:

“As an American I’m angry about it, and I’m saddened by it, and it all happened because of a rigged election.”

“This would have never happened, and that includes inflation, and that includes millions of people pouring in on a monthly basis, far more than three million people, and they’re coming from 129 different countries, we have no idea what’s happening, and they’re destroying our country.”

Later in the discussion, Ingraham noted:

“We’re just learning that U.S. officials are looking at a potential amphibious landing now in Odessa, Ukraine. A month ago or three weeks ago, all the so-called experts were saying that Putin was probably gonna just be content with staying in those separatists regions. But I think given what’s unfolded – sadly with a lot of weakness in the United States – they just decided to go for it.”

That’s when Trump proved he can’t even get the most basic facts of a conversation correct, telling the Fox host:

“But you know what’s also very dangerous is you told me about the amphibious attack by Americans. You shouldn’t be saying that because you and everybody else shouldn’t know about it. They should do that secretly, not be doing that through the great Laura Ingraham. They should be doing that secretly. Nobody should know that, Laura, and you know–”

Ingraham immediately corrected the doddering former president:

“No, those are the Russian amphibious landings.”

The “rigged” election was in 2016, when Putin helped Trump get elected. Donald knows that, and it’s why he’s constantly trying to divert attention away from the crimes he committed to get elected.

Fox News Gun Crime WTF?!

Kyle Rittenhouse Says He’s Forming An Organization To Sue The Media For Reporting On Him

Acquitted Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday evening that he’s creating what he calls “The Media Accountability Project” for the purpose of suing media outlets who reported on his shooting of two people at a Black Lives Matter protest in Wisconsin.

Newsweek reports that Rittenhouse said his new project is meant to punish the media for their “lies.”

“We’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes.

“Whoopi Goldberg is on the list, she called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that. And there’s others, don’t forget about Cenk [Uygur] from the Young Turks. He called me a murderer before verdict and continues to call me a murderer.”

As you’d expect, there’s also a financial incentive for Rittenhouse, who is asking people to send him money:

However, legal experts noted that Rittenhouse’s attempts to sue the media for defamation won’t have any success because there’s a little thing called the First Amendment.

Attorney Adrienne Lawrence remarked:

“Did someone call Rittenhouse a ‘convicted murderer’?

“Because, to my knowledge, you can be a murderer factually, even if you’re legally acquitted. An acquittal doesn’t really change that one murdered another.”

Former MSNBC host David Schuster echoed Lawrence’s comments:

So what could be the real motive for Rittenhouse’s new project? Probably money, many on Twitter suggested:

Wouldn’t it just be easier if Rittenhouse got a damn job? Isn’t that what Republicans say is the solution to every ill in the world?

Hillary Silences Fox News – Network Stops Saying She ‘Spied’ On Trump After She Threatens Legal Action

For most of the week, Fox News has been in a full-blown lather on the topic of how Hillary Clinton “spied” on Donald Trump, even after he was president.

For example, there’s this bit of verbal dreck that came from Fox host Jesse Watters, who wouldn’t know a fact if it walked up and kicked him in the shin while wearing hobnail boots:

“Durham’s documents show that Hillary Clinton hired people who hacked into Trump’s home and office computers before and during his presidency, and planted evidence that he colluded with Russia.

“Yeah. You heard that right. Hillary broke into a presidential candidate’s computer server and a sitting president’s computer server, spying on them. There, her hackers planted evidence, fabricated evidence connecting Trump to Russia, then fed that doctored material to the feds and the media.”

Yeah. Only problem is, as Mediaite notes, it’s about as factual as what they try to sell you down at the local Scientology center:

(Special Counsel John) Durham’s filing did not show this – at all. What’s more, as New York Times reporter Charlie Savage pointed out, the right-wing media narrative surrounding the filing was “mostly wrong or old news.” Indeed, the Times had reported on it last year.

On Thursday, Clinton even mentioned the entire hullabaloo in a speech she gave to the New York State Democratic Convention:

“Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. And as an aside, they’re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks. But as I said, don’t get distracted.”

Clinton’s use of the words “actual malice” is a clear hint from the former secretary of state that she just might file a defamation lawsuit against Fox, which is already reeling from a massive $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed against the network by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion has accused Fox of lying about its voting machines.

Trying to play tough guy (which he never has been or ever will be), Wimp Supreme Sean Hannity chided Clinton on his show Thursday evening:

“Malice? Really? It’s called news. Hillary, we invite you to bring it on. It’s from a legal filing. We quoted exactly from the filing that was put in federal court.”

And then something odd happened: Fox went completely silent on the entire Clinton spying conspiracy theory. It was almost like the matter had been wiped from their memories:

In the past six days, John Durham was mentioned 219 times on Fox News, according to TVEyes. But as of 11 a.m. today. his name was mentioned only once by Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends, and it was in the context of Hillary Clinton being asked a question by a reporter.

Hillary threatens a lawsuit and suddenly Fox drops the story like a nuclear potato. Coincidence? Hardly. The network is already facing extinction as a result of the Dominion lawsuit. The very last thing they need is another legal action against them.

Well done, Mrs. Clinton. Thank you for putting a bully in its place.

Trump’s Latest Fox Interview Is An Almost Incomprehensible Word Salad Of Nonsense

Failed one-term former President Donald Trump gave an “exclusive” interview to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, and it’s destined to go down in history as one of the most bizarre and frequently incomprehensible things he’s ever done.

The main topic of discussion was the giant nothing burger of a court filing from Special Counsel John Durham, which Fox has incorrectly labeled an effort by the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign to spy on Trump.

But as the New York Times notes, nothing could be further from the truth:

Fox News inaccurately declared that Mr. Durham had said he had evidence that Hillary Clinton’s campaign had paid a technology company to “infiltrate” a White House server. The Washington Examiner claimed that this all meant there had been spying on Mr. Trump’s White House office.

Despite that, Trump began the Fox Digital interview by making it sound as if there were more revelations to come from Durham:

“It looks like this is just the beginning, because, if you read the filing and have any understanding of what took place, and I called this a long time ago, you’re going to see a lot of other things happening, having to do with what, really, just is a continuation of the crime of the century. This is such a big event, nobody’s seen anything like this.”

Nobody has seen anything like it because it didn’t take place. But that didn’t keep Trump from adding:

“Who would think a thing like this is even possible? Durham is also coming up with things far bigger than anybody thought possible—Nobody ever thought a thing like this would be even discussed, let alone an act like this committed.”

From there, the discussion devolved into ranting, along with an endless stream of lies and accusations:

“Who would think a thing like this is even possible? Durham is also coming up with things far bigger than anybody thought possible—Nobody ever thought a thing like this would be even discussed, let alone an act like this committed.

“This is treason at the highest level.”

And of course it wouldn’t be a Trump interview without the obligatory attacks on the media:

“Another crime is being committed—and that’s the crime of the media,” Trump said. “The media is absolutely not—they refuse to talk about it and yet it is 10 times bigger than Watergate.

The press is corrupt and they don’t like to cover it. They’re sort of being forced. It is such a big story, I don’t know that they can play the game much longer.”

Trump failed to comment on his own endless legal problems, including news this week that his longtime accounting firm had dropped him as a client and alleged financial statements coming from the Trump Organization are bogus and a figment of the ex-president’s imagination.

Enraged Trump Denies He Flushed Documents Down The Toilet: ‘Who Would Know That?!’

During a Saturday morning phone-in interview with the hosts of “Fox & Friends,” failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump denied a report from Maggie Haberman of the New York Times that he had flushed documents down toilets at the White House while he was still in office, but offered zero proof to rebut what Haberman claimed.

Co-host Will Cain teed up the subject for the loser ex-president:

“There’s a national conversation that seems to be completely out of touch with the American people at every step of the way, and I think one of those examples might be the latest obsession President Trump, which is, again, and always seemingly about you. Maggie Haberman of the New York Times has a book out she has been discussing on CNN and the other platforms. The big take away is that you have ripped up papers and flushed them down the toilet. What is your reaction on what you’re hearing on other mainstream media channels in this book by Maggie Haberman?”

Rather than use facts to counter Haberman, Trump turned to his usual rhetoric about “fake news” and how everything it the fault of the media:

“Yeah it’s fake news and she’s a fake writer. She got a Pulitzer Prize for Russia, Russia, Russia, and then they found out it was a hoax. And so did others. Frankly the ones that get Pulitzer Prizes they happen to work around you and around Pete. And I will tell you, it’s a disgrace.”

The Russia story, it should be noted, was NOT a hoax. Several members of the Trump 2016 campaign were in close touch with Russian nationals and had in-person meetings to obtain “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.

Trump then focused in on Haberman’s upcoming book, Confidence Man (which is the perfect title for a book about Con Man Don), which you can rest assured he wouldn’t read even if he had an advance copy:

“But, no, it’s a totally false story. She made it up. I don’t believe they have sources. Who is going to be a source for that anyway? Who would know that? There is no source. They make it up. You know, they oftentimes, these fake writers like her, they act like they know me like she knows me. I haven’t spoken to her in a very, very long time. She knows me no better than any other writer. They write books like they know and then they make things like that up. There would be no way of her knowing if it were the fact. There would be no way of her understanding that or knowing it. But it’s a totally fake story made up by her.”

There was also the obligatory attempt by the failed former president to blame every problem in the world on the news media:

“As much of the news is, I will tell you, this country we have to get honest reporting. Because if we don’t get honest reporting. It’s really leading us down a bad path. And it’s really leading us down a path of anger.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaKxg06zzrE

Where exactly are we supposed to get that “honest reporting”? From Fox? Even Fox admits its hosts shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Is Newsmax “honest reporting”? Hardly! What about One America News (OAN)? All they do is push one conspiracy theory after another.

Want to know how you can tell the revelation of Toiletgate from Haberman is true? You need look no further than the anger coming from Trump and his surrogates in response to the report.
