White House claims it called Waffle House hero to bring him to Washington — but he says they have not

The White House seems to have been caught in another lie. While President Donald Trump has touted “good guys” who have intervened in mass shootings, when it came to James Shaw Jr. wrestling a gun away from a shooter at a Tennessee Waffle House, the president has been mum.

When asked if the White House had done any outreach to Shaw, however, they said that they had. Now the truth is coming out.

“My understanding is that there has been an outreach effort to bring him here,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday in the White House press briefing.

According to Yashar Ali, however, Shaw hasn’t heard from the White House at all.

Ali notes the careful semantics chose buy Huckabee Sanders claiming “her understanding” and “an outreach effort.” Still, Shaw hasn’t heard a peep from the White House staff, nor has the president tweeted his thanks or celebrated the man who saved so many from the shooter.

Shaw started a GoFundMe page and has raised more than $200,000 for those families he was unable to save.

1. Tough call, but I gotta go with James Shaw Jr. on this...oh, *an outreach effort* you say?

It’s called A FUCKING TELEPHONE, ffs!!!!!!!!

[arthritisR_US]

11. I don't think it is a tough call. There

is only one side lying and who has an hourly record of doing so and it’s not Shaw.

2. Probably another guy named James Shaw

You know what they say, seen one black guy named James Shaw. . . .

[matt819]

3. When I started reading that headline

I thought it was gonna say he was inviting the Waffle House CEO to express his support of how he's handling African-American relations.

4. It can't be that hard to get in touch with Mr. Shaw.

I'm sure he has a phone number that the WH could find somehow. So I guess that "outreach" didn't reach out very far.

[arthritisR_US]

12. Given the press has rang him up numerous

times, I can’t buy whatever BS the WH goons spew in way of explanation.

5. This WH lies about everything, large and small, petty or serious, they cannot

tell the truth. Their lies are so obvious that they get caught every time and mocked by everyone, but a they're a year in and they are still making the same unearned errors day after day.

Lesson learned: None. Zero. Nothing. Zilch. Zip. Nada.

6. I wondered about that when she said it

And not just because pretty much anything she says is more likely than not to be a lie.

8. As soon as it came out her mouth, I knew it was a lie...

Who describes a call as an outreach effort? liars..

[EffieBlack]

10. Well, it DID come out of her mouth, so odds are that it was a lie anyway ...

[MFM008]

7. Obama

Would have invited him to stay overnight
Or something cool.
We all know the racist squatter wont.

[RockRaven]

9. It's not just that they lie

it's that they lie about totally unnecessary things. Nobody is going to change their opinion on the Trump administration based on whether or not they have contacted Mr. Shaw. There's absolutely no purpose to this lie.

13. Hey, James will be on the Ellen Degeneres show today, show starts at 3pmET

Also, Kanye West is visiting Alex Jones on infowars today...

[HipChick]

14. Oh Boy...Crazy meets Crazy

[onethatcares]

15. that was a good interview

I don't think Ellen had a hard time finding him or flying him to her show.

He handled himself very well.

[Leghorn21]

16. Thank you, cares! I haven't watched yet (trying to keep up with latest breaking noooooos) -

He is an amazing human being, looking forward to watching him -
