Wonder if we’ll get some Twitter flags about this political disinformation?
@WHCOS
@TheDemCoalition
It is my understanding that Political Misinformation is an Enormous Threat to our Body Politic so I’m sure this’ll be cleared up quickly.

32 years later. That foul call was bullshit. Ball don’t lie baby.
I don’t want to take all the credit but I will say this is the first college basketball game between Seton Hall and Michigan since my birth, and, well, look what happened.
This legend. Image

🧵Thread🧵

In the closing days of the VA election, @ProjectLincoln sent a group of fake white supremacists to a Youngkin rally.

Turns out, it was originally meant as an obvious joke that spiraled when too many Dems took it seriously.

Let’s unpack how the hoax spread.⤵️
First some context, @theintercept & @ryangrim wrote up internal LP emails to confirm this, story below.

Maybe it should’ve given people pause that one of the supposed proud boys was a girl & one of the “white supremacists” was black.

It didn’t. theintercept.com/2021/11/03/lin…
Unsurprisingly, a lot of folks on one side of the political aisle were quick to jump on the story.

One viral tweet calling it a “disgusting” reference to Charlottesville got retweets from @RexChapman, @RachelBitecofer, @rolandsmartin & @TheDemCoalition

Quick🧵 of the greatest hits of the Steel dossier truthers, starting with this gem from @maddow & Comey
Maybe @maddow can get Comey and ol Jim Clapper on to revisit this?
Will @JaneMayerNYer and @NewYorker revisit their coverage on this one?

I don’t care if the Lincoln Project took credit for the dumb white nationalist hoax in Virginia.

I want to know who the people involved are, and what their affiliation with the McAuliffe campaign/VA Democrats - who have both denied taking part on the record - is. ImageImage
Based on the sleuthing of @alec_sears and others, the idea that neither McAuliffe nor the Virginia Democratic Party and its affiliates were involved seems...dubious.
Beyond their willingness to paint half the state as neo-nazis for some Twitter laughs, I would imagine voters in Virginia would be interested to know if one candidate is using the last few days of campaigning to lie about it because he thinks his potential voters are idiots.

The only upside to SJW identitarian brainworms is that sometimes they produce real art, like this.
My modest proposal to the chattering class is that we do away with the op-ed construction “Is [public figure] bad for [immutable characteristic] people?”

The NIH announced a bombshell: despite what Dr. Fauci said under oath, US taxpayers paid for gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

I hope that outlets will correct the record from when they assured us this wasn’t happening.

If they’ve forgotten, I’ve got screenshots⤵️
First, a bit of context. Today, NIH contradicted Dr Fauci & others, clarifying that a grantee, the EcoHealth Alliance, had conducted research (supposedly w/o NIH knowing) to see if bat coronavirus could jump to human receptors in mice.

More details here: nypost.com/2021/10/21/nih…
You may remember a dust up in July between Dr. Fauci & @RandPaul around precisely this point.

It seems inarguable that what Fauci told Congress isn’t true. And the press uncritically helped him convince the American people otherwise. Look at how @CNBC frames it:
