Marine at trump rally lied about hoisting baby over wall

Bet his excuse is going to be “oh I wasn’t the person in the photo…I pulled another baby over the wall, but it wasn’t captured.”

give one shit about his excuses. Then there's the little fact that he had no business speaking at a partisan event.

He's pretty deep in the shitter, I'd say.

But it isn’t about his military career with him…it is about the grift, this sets him up well for the right wing media circuit..

If he lied about being that Marine, maybe lied about being a Marine. Or maybe he was a troll or just an ordinary nutjob.

who claimed he'd been spit on after returning from deployment. He was recognized as having some kind of internet porn presense and disappeared. I think he was on FOX "News" once, but I my be confusing him with Jeff Gannon. I remember Hannity saying, "I love this guy" on his last FOX "News" appearance. Then the news broke about Gannon and he was never on again. Funny how that works.

If memory serves, when such a one seemed to have never existed, Rush declared, "Luke Fitzpatrick could be a nickname."

May or may not be the same story, but I remember laughing a lot about the sobriquet rationale.

someone else would remember. Thanks. It's amazing how they shrug this shit off all the time. Exposed as total frauds and the morans still keep falling for it.
