I was a little confused because Sean Davis didn't actually say this quote on Tucker Carlson's show last night.

Then I figured out that the president was quoting the chyrons.

MUELLER PROVES HIS ENTIRE OPERATION WAS A POLITICAL HIT JOB

STILL ZERO EVIDENCE OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION

DEMS CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT DESPITE NO NEW INFORMATION FROM MUELLER

Right, Trump, 8:38 am
If you're following at home, the president of the United States strung together three consecutive chyrons from last night's Tucker Carlson tonight and tweeted them out attributed as a quote from the guest.

Very normal.

DiGenova and his wife and law partner Victoria Toensing are regulars on Sean Hannity's show and were briefly announced as members of Trump's legal team. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/03/2…
Last year, Trump pardoned one of Toensing's clients, Scooter Libby. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/04/1…
Fox hosts have regularly called for Trump to pardon Flynn. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/2…

Over nine days, Laura Ingraham:
1) Disclosed Trump's campaign as a podcast sponsor
2) Defended a white supremacist
3) Traveled to Europe covering Trump's trip
4) Interviewed the president

I realize that Fox is gonna Fox, but I admit being a little surprised that there isn't more attention on Trump getting interviewed by someone literally receiving money from his campaign. Seems iffy!
Speaking of Fox's general unwillingness to honor basic media ethics, @ehananoki has the scoop on Fox Nation hosts campaigning for Republicans in apparent violation of the network's stated (but unenforced) standards: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/0…

Here's another case of President Trump quoting Fox's on-screen captions.

Left, Fox's Hannity, 9:03 p.m. ET
Top right, Fox's Hannity, 9:04 p.m. ET
Bottom right, Trump, 1:55 a.m. ET (7:55 a.m. in Normandy)
Hannity's quote here is "according to The Hill's media reporter Joe Concha, the president has received mostly glowing reviews from the British press. But here at home, a much different picture."
Hannity also called Pew's poll finding on fake news a "major political victory for President Trump" because he has exposed the press for "actively working as an extension of the Democratic Party, all while pretending to be journalists."

!!!!!!!!!!! MS. PELOSI - BUILD THAT WALL !!!!!!!!!!!
What if Podesta arranged to assassinate Antonin Scalia & used CODE to plan it?

What if a MOVIE is picked as theme of the code? Where,

WALL = Nationalism
MOVIE = Assassination Plot
BUDGET = Cost of Hit
DIRECTOR = Podesta
PRODUCER = Hit man

WE ARE WATCHING A MOVIE!!
TUNE IN TONIGHT AT 7PM EASTERN TIME ...

MS. PELOSI - BUILD THAT WALL!!!

[in a manner, type & shadow of President Trump's famous July 5th POCAHONTAS TROLL]. These people are so very stupid - it isn't just a slogan - we are talking about their boss - and, next to God - he is!

Last night, BuzzFeed posted a blockbuster report that President Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow Project. A reminder: suborning perjury is a felony. Here are six of the biggest takeaways wired.trib.al/RcQBYm9 1/
1. Mueller has the receipts. According to Buzzfeed, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators have more than Cohen’s word. In fact, the lead of the article instead originated with documents and witnesses inside the Trump Organization. wired.trib.al/RcQBYm9 2/
2. The politics just changed in a big way. These allegations are about lying to Congress, which makes it harder for Congress to brush them away—and given the new Democratic majority in the House, they’re certainly not inclined to. 3/ wired.trib.al/RcQBYm9

Organizers from Smash Racism DC sent me clips from their protest last night outside Fox News host Tucker Carlson's home. They were demonstrating against his coverage of the migrant caravan & other issues. Twitter banned them by the end of the night, so the videos are hard to find
The account, Smash Racism DC, is used by a number of DC anti-fascists. They recently went viral for posting a video of them confronting Ted Cruz at a restaurant. Here's the second clip they sent me from last night
Tucker Carlson has said that activists put a crack in his front door. Organizers sent me this photo as evidence they did not damage his door.

The black box covers Tucker Carlson's home address.

New from me: Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect threatened Jewish groups, pushed migrant caravan conspiracies.

Thread about a really specific migrant caravan conspiracy Robert Bowers believed below.

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…
Bowers reposted this image, a screenshot of a Star of David on the side of a truck purportedly in the migrant caravan, several times before the attack.

It's from a Fox News segment about the caravan that didn't mention the decal.

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…
Bowers posted conspiracy theories about this image a ton. He became convinced Jewish-backed groups were launching an "invasion" through the caravan.

The image and conspiracy were extremely prevalent on Gab, 4chan, conspiracy YouTube and parts of Twitter.
