An expense report that shows Hillary giving money to the Sharia Law Center should be too stupid to believe. But it somehow wasn't. Meet the man who made itand is baffled high-profile people fell for it.

If youre not paying attention, it looks like a smoking guna leaked expense report tying Hillary Clinton to medias most powerful groups.
The numbers from the supposedly leaked documentprinted out and marked up with a highlighter, for good measureare damning: $75,000 directly from the Clinton Foundation to polling firm Public Policy Polling. Over $333,000 sent, somehow, to the Black Panthers. Then the kicker: $30,000 to the Sharia Law Center.
Of course, the whole thing is totally fake. The header for the page, called Voter Suppression, probably shouldve given it right away. But for Trump supporters on Twitter and Facebook, a Fox News contributor, and even radio hosts like Hal Turner, it is still very much real to them.
Chris from Massachusetts (who declined to give his last name) got em again. Hes spent all week trying to assuage anyone responding to his tweet with doubts about the papers veracity that it is the truest Wikileak of all.

Donald should be retweeting him very soon.

(459 posts)they do not believe in education only their made up talking points. it should be obvious to any honest person that there's a reason why trump and his surrogates don't want him held accountable by fact checkers and why putin is so desperate to get him elected. he is a know nothing and a dim witted pushover, even more so than george w. bush.
