    The Weekly Standard caught in The Atlantic in a bit of handy Democratic propaganda.

    Fake News, Exposed

    "In an article on the Atlantic website, a former Obama White House staffer explains why she resigned from the Trump White House after only eight days. Rumana Ahmed thought she should "try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration" she writes, "in order to give the new president and his aides a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America's Muslim citizens."

    But then the executive order suspending visa issuance for Syrian refugees and suspending it temporarily for nationals of seven Muslim majority countries forced her hand. She quit. She "had to leave because it was an insult walking into this country's most historic building every day under an administration that is working against and vilifying everything I stand for as an American and as a Muslim.""


    However...turns out Ahmed and another staffer who pulled the same thing, Ned Price, both worked together in Ben Rhodes propaganda arm of the Obama White House. Ahmed was a political appointee who transferred to a civil service position 4 days before resigning so the story could present her as an apolitical civil servant.

    I have to say, these Dem Ministry of Truth guys are pretty good. I read the original story and there was nothing there, other than the fact they were doing an anti Trump story, that tipped me off that it was a set up.
