I think because too many people have been brainwashed into thinking nothing is true unless it comes from the mouth of T or one of his minions. It’s been their long game — beating down the credibility of any nonbelievers — and sadly it’s working.

I can’t believe how artfully they lie. There’s no way they actually believe this shot.

You need to publicly apologize for this and explain where/when the photo is from. You’ve always been just an inch away from Fox (exhibit A: Jake Tapper) but this shows you’ve completely abandoned any journalistic principles.

Using the term “the left” feeds into their moving-the-needle tactics, which imply that MAGA is somehow close to traditional conservatism.
