    I've watched the video; it is just that I actually paid attention to what was going on instead of blindly repeating fringe right talking points: https://www.bustle.com/articles/172...12-controversy-surrounded-this-platform-plank

    As with your claims about the shooter, this one isn't based on fact.

    By your logic, any white person that kills another is "anti-white".

    If they target them, and yell out how they all must die.

    They booed neither. They booed the fact that the vote was mistakenly given to the minority.

    They were booing before that...it wasn't mistakenly done either...the person calling for it called it that way because he was shocked at the behavior of the new radical left that make up the DNC

    Wow. Wouldn't have cared enough to go and watch a segment of Fox and Friends usually (first whole segment of the show I've ever watched, hate ALL morning blather shows), but any time a cite to CNN "reporting" is used for the basis of pretty much anything today, it's become sadly necessary to go and review what was actually said. Here is the entire interview:



    Anyone interested should watch the entire, actual interview and draw their own conclusions about the true gist of it, don't take my word for it (as expressed below), and certainly NEVER take FAKE NEWS NPCNN's word for anything. They prove themselves daily as thoroughly discredited, and if I didn't know better, I'd think they were some kind of false flag operation of the Republican Party. They have become -that- clownish and absurd. Who knows how many hundreds of thousands of votes they have driven away from the Democrats over the last few years?

    Note that Conway talks about "attacks on religiosity" for only 40 seconds or so of a ten minute interview. Note that this takes place after a far longer, emphatic portion on anti-Semitism, divisive rhetoric and finger-pointing generally. The "anti religiosity" stuff was just a coda on her broader comments. Does CNN acknowledge any of the other actual meat of the interview? Of course not, the intent is plainly to cherry-pick something they can attack dishonestly, and then let the partisan few who are gullible enough to buy into their lie narratives plaster it here and wherever else.

    I can do a better job of summarizing Conway's comments than a paid professional CNN propaga... "journalist" right here and now with hardly a second thought,

    "In a Fox & Friends interview today, Conway repeated the President's calls to fight anti-Semitism and remember the individual victims rather than point fingers, implored the public and media to tone down divisive rhetoric, identified anti religious sentiments in media as an aggravating factor also, had some derisive comments about ex President Obama's recent statements, and summarized President Trump's plans for continued campaigning through the midterm elections."

    There, that's HONEST unbiased journalism for our resident LW who apparently don't know what it looks like... or more likely pretend to not know.

    That Conway blamed the Synagogue shootings on antireligiosity is A LIE. It is a specifically tailored LIE, not an accident, not a sloppy omission of necessary context.

    That kind of LIE is why the country increasingly sees CNN and others as FAKE NEWS, and the estimation is dead-on accurate.

    Well then riddle me this Batman, how is it that "hard right nationalists" whom you people constantly call "Trump's base" (inaccurately) continue to support the most irrefutably Pro Israel President in recent history?

    You can do your homework and discover the truth if you like. Regardless, it has absolutely nothing to do with the shooter in the least. The shooter was active on alt-right social media. He called himself a nationalist. He criticized globalism. He hated immigrants. He said Jews were responsible for white genocide. He held Jews responsible for encouraging immigration. I don't hold anyone responsible for his actions but himself, but I've never heard any of this belief system anywhere in the left, but I've heard it from rightwingers even here on this forum.

    It was Jew hate based on the the Protocols of the Elders of Zion forgery. . Anti-religiosity was not a central theme of the NSDAP even though Hitler and most the Nazi elite had contempt for religion. Conway is not a historian. She should hire one to help her craft better talking points.

    And on the right. His own beliefs appear to align with right-wing antisemitism, not leftwing, for the reasons provided and ignored.

    While I don't disagree there are some far outside the box right wing beliefs that are anti-semitic...they aren't embraced by the GOP or welcomes in the party, the way they are in the DNC...has cited and ignored

    This guy was one of those "outside the box" rightwingers, who share his hatred of Jews and immigrants, his white nationalism, his hatred of globalism, and his belief in "white genocide." No one claims the GOP embraces these things. Neither the GOP nor the DNC does. The far left also does not embrace these things. The alt-right does.

    What does "church going" have to do with anything?

    And you can look things up yourself.

    All churches that teach the King James Bible also teach hatred, at least indirectly.

    Yeah, maybe that's true, all 2000 or so of them.

    Oh, btw, ready to retract some of the claims you've made in the thread as OP in light of the whole interview in context?

    This excuse of a NPCNN fake news thread was over the second the whole interview was linked in context. Sorry pal, no pass here.

    Better luck next thread!
