Another pundit on MSNBC just repeated the lie about Trump getting 30 percent of the Latino vote.

I truly hate this fake story. It has been clearly debunked but people keep saying it.

How the hell do they think HRC did better in Arizona and Texas than Obama did?

It was actually more like 79/18.

That accounts for 25% of the voters. If Trump's paid liars can confuse another 25%, it becomes the truth as far as 1/2 of the voters are concerned. And more people watch FOX than MSNBC.

That was also exaggerated and discredited.
