White House spokesman: Dems, media have created more 'chaos' than the Russians

Source: The Hill

A White House spokesman accused Democrats and the mainstream news media of creating more recent "chaos" in America than the Russian government.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Saturday, Hogan Gidley blamed the two groups for causing "chaos" by spreading stories related to Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

"There are two groups that have created chaos more than the Russians and that’s the Democrats and the mainstream media,” Gidley said.

"They continued to push this lie on the American people for more than a year, and frankly Americans should be outraged by that," he added.

Mueller really hit a very sore spot with Donny. They know that the wolves are at the door.

3. Oh, its that Hogan Gidley guy! I love his name, and he looks like a pre-pubescent Pinocchio

to me, so I really cannot listen to him.

Really, though, doesn’t “Hogan Gidley“ sound like a Coen brothers’ character?

Wait, okay. He blames the Democrats. He blames the free press. But this little tyke forgot to blame the court system, so WAAANH DING DING, you’re fired, son.

Oy.

4. It sounds to me like you're defending the Russians, White House.

That's OUR White House. Get the fuck out of there if you aren't going to defend the U.S. and OUR constitution.

5. Media and Fellow Americans have no clue in what Mueller is doing (other than his job of course)...

Hogan blaming fellow Americans (democrats) and the media of causing chaos I think has just ended his career
forever. I certainly won't forget this piece of crap and what he's saying about his fellow Americans...doesn't he respect our freedom of speech? Doesn't he respect our political system? Doesn't he respect any of us here? What lies does he think we're propagating?

I think he needs to leave and live somewhere else, let's say Russia?

Obviously Americans aren't outraged enough (according to this piece of crap) by so called lies being propagated.

No one else in this country (including democrats and the media) have no more knowledge into what Mueller is investigating or doing. With the indictments of at 4 former tRUMP campaign workers and now Russians too, it does seem more and more likely that collusion of some type occurred, wouldn't you think?

Too bad you can't stifle our freedom of speech and willingness to fight, preserve, and protect our country in our own way (certainly not Hogan's way), you piece of crap, Hogan!

6. It's FOX.....

the official state propaganda outlet for right-wing hacks. This wouldn't play on any other media outlet. The Trump White House knows that they'll get nothing but softball questions and positive reviews for anything they say on FOX. Something should be done about a network that exists only for right-wing fascist propaganda. That's their sole purpose. Their slogan says it all; "fair and balanced". Any media outlet that actually believes and delivers on that slogan wouldn't have to advertise themselves as such. FOX has to push this false narrative so that a few morons will actually believe it. 99% of FOX viewers know what they're all about, and expressly watch them for that very purpose. They only want "news" and "narrative" that supports their own narrow world view and fascist political beliefs.

9. It is also consistent with some of the latest Trump tweets

Nunes, Trump, Hannity, this spokesperson etc are creating an alternative monster ( or narrative) to what actually happened in 2016.

Their monster is the Obama administration. Defining that was easy. The hard part is defining the "monsterish" things they did. They "unmasked" the identity of a sedated American regularly meeting suspicious Russians. Question: isn't this exactly what their job was and there is nothing suggesting they were trying to "get" Trump people.

Clearly, their goal is to define THAT FISA warrant on a man CAUGHT IN THE ACT as illigematet. The next step, crime that was seen because of that wiretap will be said to be tainted. Next step per Nunes is that some in the State Department saw the dossiers and it seems their action was to check that the FBI had it. It would have been negligence NOT to insure that the intelligence agency which could investigate any assertions in it.

This ignores that Carter Page and everyone else were CAUGHT colluding with a hostile nation. It also ignores that OBAMA AND HIS ADMINISTRATION while speaking of what the Russians did, scrupulously did not say Trump was involved with the Russians.

Their goal is to confuse and change the subject. A clear example is that Nunes is investigating that monster, not what Russia did and certainly not what Trump did. Todays's tweet tries to graft the indictments of Russians to the Obama investigation. This even as the previous allegations were that they pursued Page and did not ignore the dossier. Now, they are arguing that they ignored the Russian problem.

Somehow, they bizarrely think people will ignore that there is real proof of contacts with the Russians all the way up to at least his son and Kushner.

10. White House comments are getting weaker and flimsier by the hour.

They are backed into a corner and have no exit. They're handing out cyanide pills for when the FBI blows down the doors, throws in the flash-bangs and arrests them all.
