The Washington Post’s Daniel W. Drezner gave us all a perfect example of a typical left-wing media trick meant to slam conservatives with outright lies only to “apologize” later when no one will pay attention.
Drezner, who is a purported “professor” at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in Medford, Massachusetts, and a writer for the Post’s Spoiler Alerts blog, jumped to his Twitter feed to slam U.S. Attorney General for calling immigrants “filth.”
The “professor’s” tweet from April 11 raged, “Filth. He described illegal immigrants as ‘filth.’ Whatever your views on immigration that’s f**king embarrassing for a US official to say..”
This tweet got over 5,000 retweets and 6,000 likes as his left-wing, anti-American “fans” went wild pushing the claim that Jeff Sessions called all immigrants “filth.”
Later in the day, though, Drezner finally got around to actually investigating what Sessions actually said to see if he really did call all immigrants “filth.”
Upon doing some actual investigation, though, the so-called professor and member of the media elite suddenly realized that Sessions was calling murderers, gang members, drug dealers, and criminals “filth,” not immigrants.
Oopsies. So, Drezner put out a “correction” tweet saying he “over-interpreted” what Sessions said (“over-interpreted” means “I lied about what Sessions said”) and “apologized” for being too quick to Tweet.
His weak “apology” reached a whopping 151 retweets and a dismal 210 likes.
So over ten thousand liberals delighted in spreading Drezner’s lies about Sessions while only a tiny handful caught the “correction.”
This is how liberals play the “correction” game, too. They go big with their lies and when called on it, issue their apologies in hushed tones so that few ever see it.
But think of what we have here, won’t you? What we have here is a virulent, anti-American leftist so filled with hate that he sees nothing odd by imagining that a U.S. Senator and Attorney General would call all immigrants “filth.” Drezner is so sure that everyone who is center right is a hate-filled bigot that he believed this hot take right off and didn’t feel any need a all to check to see if his absurd characterization was the right read of what Sessions said before telling thousands of his idiot followers that Sessions is a monster.
Now, don’t forget, Drezner is a man who imagines he is a warrior against “fake news.” He is also a man teaching this brand of hate to students.
But, in all, he is a typical liberal. Filled with hate for anyone who he disagrees with and immediately ready to act the character assassin to every center right American who he feels is as a xenophobic Nazi.
