This is too funny. Elijah Cummings and Nancy Pelosi cite a fake tweet in an attempt to accuse Trump of violating the law. They are so eager to attack, they don't even check their sources. And they present this fake news with the proper amount of outrage directed at Donald Trump.

It doesn't get any better than this.

The New York Times initially reported tweets from a fake Flynn Twitter account which claimed that he was a "scapegoat" for the administration. The newspaper later apologized for the mistake in an editor's note.During a press conference on Tuesday calling for further investigations into the White House's relationship with Russia, Rep. Elijah Cummings repeated the scapegoat tweet.


"Just this morning, Flynn tweeted — and this is a quote — 'scapegoat.' End of quote. Scapegoat. He basically described himself as a scapegoat. And so I believe we need to hold a public hearing with Flynn to get to the bottom of this," Cummings said.


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi then followed, saying that the "questions that arise" from Flynn's resignation are "even bigger."


"I didn't know until I heard from our colleague that the tweet was scapegoat," Pelosi said.


She added: "The inference to be drawn from his statement is other people have blame that should be shared in all of this."


The leaders' staff both quickly realized the tweets were fake.

Why do conservatives keep referring to Tweets as news? Do they actually not know the difference between news and a tweet?


Anyway, Pelosi and Cummings should apologize, even if the tweets reflect reality.

Isn't it something how the left wing media fails to report on things which are embarrassing to their liberal heroes?
