Wouldn’t this be more an example of going Rachel Maddow on us?

Did I stumble onto a thread filled with people who think the Betsy Ross flag is racist? Oof da.

Real mature, truth hurts you I see.

You and LT should really get a room.

Seems my first comment is/was the most relevant.

Oh you have a narrative you follow, and you are doing it right now. Most appropriated symbols have other uses, and again, “Somebody supporting the Trump re-election effort…” Also, one can’t watch much Fox News without experiencing blatant Trump fawning, but Trump demands total loyalty.

But you keep on being that condescending, self-important know-it-all that likes to argue for argument’s sake. We would be shocked if you changed now. But then, “you know that of course.”

I left it up because I want people to see that the incident occurred and that it was “corrected.” Also, I am not certain that it is over or that I believe the explanation given by a nameless Trump supporting mememaker. To be honest, I withhold my trust from people who are nameless anonymous people on the internet. Call me crazy but that’s how I avoid being taken in by people. This may come up later and we may find out that Carpe Donktum (just inspires confidence doesn’t it?) could have been pulling our leg.

The explanation is quite clear that there are other uses of the logo. The explanations seem satisfactory and plausible and the conspiracy theories that everything is white supremacy or racist is just plainly stupid. You know that, of course. But you have to defend a narrative. I don’t. I can reject Trump and his foolishness without the need for this “six degrees of connection” crap.

Trump is bad because of facts. We should not add on to that with other stuff. People play into his hands when they do stuff like this. That he is attacking Fox News undermines the prevailing claim that Fox is in the tank for Trump. The media in general have been completely embarrassing throughout this whole presidency. So much of the

Warren said he thought the ad came from the Trump campaign. Again, that was a major failure on the part of Warren.

No, he clearly doesn’t.

Yes, the logo has been used by white supremacists and those with like minds, and yes POTUS tweeted it. Again, this president has, by his own statements and actions, made it necessary to consider such associations. The “fake news” in this case was much of the contents of the video. Trump is bad because of the facts. In the whirlwind of dysfunction and outright lies that come from him and his associates, there will be errors in reporting. All things considered, I think the media in general are doing pretty good at wading through the sewage.

That he is even attacking Fox News makes a mockery of what he calls fake news. He wants sycophants and nothing less. As for taking the post down, I don’t think Warren ever does that. Disappearing errors in the middle of the night is not his style. He keeps his mistakes open and visible.

Edited to add:

Warren did not make the claim that this came from the campaign itself. He said, “Somebody supporting the Trump re-election effort…” The connection to Trump is that he Tweeted it (with appreciation).

I think rather Tacitus does understand it, and rejects it.
