"Apparently, if you’re a Democratic senator, spreading innuendo, rumors and flat-out lies about President Trump is a nothing-burger.
Matter of fact, many mainstream media outlets encourage it.
First, it was Sen. Chris Coons, from Delaware.
He went on MSNBC last week and alleged — with a straight face — that the FBI had obtained transcripts that proved collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“There are transcripts that provide very helpful, very critical insights into whether or not Russian intelligence and senior Russian political leaders including Vladimir Putin were cooperating, where colluding with the Trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election,” Mr. Coons told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “If that information is stonewalled or hidden away and we’re not able to get that on the Senate intelligence committee, House intelligence committee, then I think that has real consequences for our Democracy.”
Except he had no proof the transcripts he described even existed — it was his own speculation masked as fact in order to spread fear and mistrust in our federal institutions and Mr. Trump.
On Sunday Mr. Coons had to walk back his comments, saying he had no evidence such transcripts existed, and apologized for any “hyperventilating” — his hyperventilating which went viral Friday afternoon after a MSNBC producer tweeted: “Sen. Coons tells @mitchellreports that the FBI has transcripts that may show Russian leaders colluding with the Trump campaign.”
“I have no hard evidence of collusion,” Mr. Coons told “Fox News Sunday.”
It was all fake news, promoted by MSNBC, because it served their Russia/Trump collusion narrative."
Democratic lawmakers, media have no problem lying about Donald Trump
