This isn't funny anymore... July 15, 2016 10:22 pm RL

TRUMP:“The other night you had 11 cities potentially in a blow-up stage. Marches all over the United States—and tough marches. Anger. Hatred. Hatred! Started by a maniac! And some people ask for a moment of silence for him. For the killer!”

To be blunt, this didn’t happen.

There is no evidence from any news source that this happened. By anyone. Anywhere. Nobody can find anyone who “called for a moment of silence” for the mass killer of policemen. Nobody has counted “11 cities” that are potentially on the verge of a racial holy war. RaHoWa, cry the white-supremacists. And now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has joined the chorus. That’s where his rhetoric has led him, and far too many people have followed along.

Yeah, but it was Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who “crossed the line.” Jesus, these people.

Nobody can find anyone who called for a moment of silence. Nobody can list the 11 cities. On Wednesday, Sam Clovis, a fringe character from Iowa who has been elevated to co-chairman of He, Trump’s campaign, was put on a spit by CNN’s Chris Cuomo and turned, slowly, over an open flame. Via Tiger Beat On The Potomac:

Cuomo preceded his line of questioning by remarking that Trump’s claim was similar to one he made months ago when he said he had seen seen Muslims celebrating in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Cuomo asked Clovis whether he could elucidate what Trump was referring to Tuesday night in Westfield, Indiana. “But calling for a moment of silence?” Cuomo said. “Well, it depends on the context, I guess, Chris,” Clovis responded. “And frankly, I’ve had my nose buried in other issues. I’m not dodging your question.” Cuomo was not buying it. “Sam, you’re dodging it. You’re dodging it. You’re doing it artfully, but you’re dodging it,” the anchor remarked, as Clovis denied that he was doing so. “Context, my eye. Either you’ve seen they were calling for a moment of silence or you haven’t.”

DAMN THEM ALL NOW.
