https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2020/06/01/trumps-dumb-press-secretary-doesnt-know-that-st-louis-isnt-louisvilleWhite House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany went on live television today and proved she doesn't know the difference between St. Louis and Louisville while trying to make some stupid point about Twitter, because apparently that is the type of shit this administration chooses to care about in the midst of widespread societal unrest and a global pandemic.

That's right, adding to the overall absurdity of this stupid exchange is the fact that there had been no reports of looting in Louisville on Thursday night, rendering Trump's point about the city (and by extension, McEnany's misstated point about our city) complete nonsense, as pointed out by Louisville's Courier Journal newspaper on Friday.

It seems laughable to think that we'll see any kind of correction from the Trump administration about this matter, because they are shameless ghouls who seem to take glee in spreading misinformation, so we figured we'd go ahead and do a little fact-checking for them.
Claim: Seven people were shot while looting in St. Louis Thursday night.
Fact: No.
Claim: Seven people were shot while looting in Louisville Thursday night.
Fact: Nope.
Claim: Trump's press secretary is too dumb to read the name of the right city off of a piece of paper right in front of her.
Fact: It would appear that way, yes.
Claim: Trump is even dumber.
Fact: Abso-fucking-lutely.
Claim: Black lives matter.
Fact: Damn straight.
