You want to know why Americans hate the mainstream media and why the trust isn’t there? Huge news organizations blatantly lie to us on a constant basis to the point they even forget what they report.
MSNBC Host Katy Tur was trying to embarrass Rep. Francis Rooney (FL) on how many members of the Trump administration allegedly have Russian ties. Tur thought she had her guest right where she wanted him, and then the congressman reminded her that Obama sent a message on how he would be flexible with Russia after the 2012 election.
Her facial expression and answer was priceless. Either she was lying, or she’s incompetent.
From Mediaite:
Tur pressed Florida Representative Francis Rooney about the number of Donald Trump advisors with close tie to Russia. “I see a lot of folks within Donald Trump’s administration who have a friendlier view of Russia than maybe past administrations did,” she noted.
“Well, I think it was Obama that leaned over to Putin and said, ‘I’ll have a little more flexibility to give you what you want after the re-election,’” Rooney responded.
Tur paused for a moment. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re referring to, Congressman,” she said.
“Remember when he leaned over at a panel discussion or in a meeting, and he said, ‘I’ll have more flexibility after the election’?” Rooney asked. “No one pushed the president on what he meant by that, but I can only assume for a thug like Putin that it would embolden him,” which gave Tur pause, again.
Regular Americans remember that meeting between Obama and then-President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia so why can’t Katy?
