The Left side with Syria and take their word to bash Trump.
ABC News aired footage claiming to show a Turkish attack on a Syrian border town that was actually from a 2017 video of an American shooting range.
During Sunday’s ABC World News Tonight, host Tom Llamas showed footage of several large explosions and machine gun fire over a night sky that he described as “appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurdish civilians in a Syrian border town.” The same footage aired Monday in an early morning World News Now segment, where it was dated to October 11 and described as “video obtained by ABC News” that “appears to show the fury of the Turkish attack on the border town of Tel Abyed.” Good Morning America aired a brief snippet of the footage hours later while introducing a segment on Syria.
But the footage appears to be taken from a YouTube video uploaded by user derekknoll titled “Knob Creek night shoot 2017,” showing a controlled machine gun fire at a gun range. The caption reads “2017, Merica.”
