Total BULLSHIT!

The link above monitors changes to politicians tweets. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL!

Edit : Well, derram proved me wrong. And the site I used appears to be compromised as well. Fuck!

I provided the link to the live Washington Post article citing the tweets. Even if the tweets were manufactured, as you initially thought, it would be evidence then of "fake news" propagated by the MSM. Either way, providing this evidence is helpful in demonstrating the lie of the "fake news" narrative.

Absolutely agree. I've also kept my post up for the fact that

  1. I was wrong and hasty.

  2. That it demonstrates external sources need verification as well.

But, the core context that I was arguing was his words, not the content of them.

I see the correction but do not understand your final sentence above: "But, the core context that I was arguing was his words, not the content of them."

that the tweets erased were about a side story on pizzagate. I've seen too many stories based on tweets that an individual hasn't created in the first place, then ran as if they were. Without an archived example of the tweet from the source I'm not to fond of taking the rest of the story at face value. So, even if it was referenced in the article I still wouldn't believe it. Just complete and utter ugh at the news these days.

I get it. The article itself showed the images of the tweets. I understand not trusting even that since it was WaPo. This is why I asked for someone to post the archives of the tweets, which someone kindly did:

I appreciate your diligence and skepticism to keep us on track. We are all on the same side...unless you are CTR :).
