12. It's a distortion of the truth.

Booker did NOT refuse to support the calls for pulling the clearance. He says FIRST we need to "get to the bottom of it" and it "could be a potential outcome that I seek."

He's calling for due process. Yes, I know, what a strange concept.

"Booker refused to support those calls during an interview with CNN Sunday. Asked if supports revoking Kushner's security clearance, the New Jersey senator said: 'I think we need to first get to the bottom of it. He needs to answer for what was happening at the time. It raises very serious concerns for me. And that could be a potential outcome that I seek, but I want to understand, at least hear from Jared Kushner, as well as the administration, about what was exactly going on there.'"

And when Kushner and the OTHER PEOPLE donated the $41K to Booker, Kushner was still a Democrat. He's clearly left the party now and Booker owes nothing to him.

Not so much fake news as it is simply a premise predicated wholly on a logical fallacy. LanternWaste May 2017 #16
