Trump's False Claim Appears to Have Come From Nation's Top Conspiracy Theorist

Just hours after President Donald Trump falsely told service members at CENTCOM that the "very dishonest media" is not reporting terror attacks, "doesn't want to," and "have their reasons" for not, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is already walking back those claims.

In a classic fascistic move, the President indicted the media before the military, in what surprisingly started out as a partisan, political speech during which he told them those who endorse him are his friends, while those who do not, are not.

Speaking with reporters after the President's remarks, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer promised to "provide a list" of unreported terror attacks "later."

"There’s several instances," Spicer said. "There’s a lot of instances that have occurred where I don’t think they’ve gotten the coverage it deserved." There's a big difference between the press not reporting terror attacks and the White House Press Secretary deciding what attacks deserve how much coverage. So, that's walk back number one.

1. This article doesn't seem to provide evidence of a White House walk back--

rather, examples will be provided of attacks not being reported and Spicer says attacks haven't gotten the coverage they deserve. Hardly a "walk back."

7. I think they're now going with

“Most have not received the media attention they deserved..."

Earlier today. drumpf said "never reported".

Media should demand the list of the "never reported" attacks. Come on media, slap these sophomores in the face.

11. Maybe that Canadian terrorist Trump supporters didn't get as much attention as he should have

but I'm sure that's not what Trump meant.

2. They must put up or shut up. If they don't post it, then tRump lied. And now Spicer too.

We know about ConWay and Bowling Green. 3 times and counting.

3. I wanted someone to ask

Scary Spicer or Kellyann Konjob if they really thought, after watching how many times Fox would try to tie the latest attack (whether it was a Muslim committing or not) as evidence that Obama was a "failed President," if they really expected people to believe that the news had suppressed a "massacre."

4. Sandy Hook was faked

but the media isn't reporting terrorist attacks.

Anybody want a pushmi-pullyu? How about describing 45 as level-headed--the drool pours out of both sides of his mouth? How much longer is this insanity going to be allowed to continue?

5. Taken down from Twitter.

6. You mean the tweet making the claim?

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Yes

8. I don't know why the article said "surprisingly started out as a partisan, political speech".

That's already SOP for SCROTUS.

9. There was no walk-back. They doubled down with a list of crap.

10. True. No Walk Back.

12. The FIRST question to Spicer today

should be why the degenerate didn't feel the need to mention that terrorist attack just recently in Canada? Could it be he doesn't want to shine a light on one of his supporters? That's what needs to be asked. Didn't even warrant a 140 character tweet.
