How a Debunked Ukraine Theory Endures Against All Evidence


https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/01/12/how-a-debunked-ukraine-theory-endures-against-all-evidence/

The discredited theory, spread online by GOP allies in interviews and tweets, has been embraced by a president reluctant to acknowledge the reality of Russian election interference, and anxious to show he had reason to be suspicious of Ukraine as the U.S. withheld crucial military aid last year.

The effect: blurring the facts of the impeachment case for many Americans even before it reaches a trial that could begin with days.

Experts fear the strategy leaves the U.S. vulnerable to more misinformation campaigns in the 2020 election and signals to the Kremlin and other foreign actors that Americans are willing to cling to falsehoods.

  1. Another reason Trump will win later this year. He's going to campaign for the 202 election. The Dem's are still trying to campaign for 2016.

  2. I'm stepping out of retirement to add weight to the Ukraine theory. It may be nothing more than a hunch, full of conjecture, and totally flaky, but anything that triggers the liberal media can't be all bad.

  4. I suppose they are credible...but if truth is what we seek, the truth is I want the President to triumph. And if we need to peddle lies to achieve our goal, so we peddle lies.

    How is this different than Hollywood? Blockbuster movies are generally fictional. Fiction, you know, lies.

    Does anyone think everything in a movie is real?! How many voters yet think that everything the President says lines up with reality?!

    Show me any President in recent decades who didn't try to sell lies to stay in power.
