Insane: Fox news is reporting that Yovanovitch was monitoring and tracking Trump Jr.

How many dumb ass people are going to believe this??

Donald Trump Jr. accuses Yovanovitch of 'monitoring' him, other Americans

Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday accused former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch of “monitoring” him, as well as other members of the American public, a day after the ousted diplomat called for an investigation into allegations she had been followed by associates of President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani while in Ukraine.

The eldest son of the president also blamed the media for failing to cover Yovanovitch’s own surveillance efforts. The accusation came after the release of documents obtained by the House of Representatives as part of new evidence for the upcoming Senate impeachment trial related to Trump’s July phone call asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s involvement in the country.

Let Hannity reference it a couple of times and Tucker too. The cult will believe anything they say if they say it enough.

If you might be on "someone's" hit list, it makes good sense to keep track of assholes with guns.

while we are trying to tell people the truth.

The lies are remembered longer than the debunking.

especially, someone with a well known name.

Once again, Faux is making a big deal out of someone doing their fucking job.

There is not proof provided at all. Taking from something someone said on twitter and repeating it. Fake news should know better than to report it.

The classic Trump-turnaround maneuver: if you've absolutely been caught dead-to-rights on something, accuse the victim of the exact same offense in order to muddy the waters.

The fact that they're accusing Yovanovitch of monitoring Jr. is pretty much proof positive that they had Hyde stalking Yovanovitch and that they know it's going to come out.

treat Fox News as a peer instead of calling them out for shit like this and discrediting them as a true media source.
