40. When your ideology is based on things that aren't true.
Thu Sep 5, 2019, 10:27 PM
Sep 2019

As Hillary said in a debate, "Enough is enough. If you've got something to say, say it directly. But you will not find that I ever changed a vote because of any donation I've ever received."

Come on, Michael, show the evidence that Hillary was controlled by Goldman Sachs because she made a speech. Biden was VP for eight years, show evidence that because he's friends with the guy who held a fundraiser for him, he pushed for deregulation and fracking. Show us any evidence that a Democrat has taken fossil fuel money and changed their positions or votes. Show evidence that the 2916 primary was rigged.

You used to be very careful to fact check, you said so in one of your books. What happened? Too many CTs will really mess up a person I guess.

Please, Michael, stop.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
