If this tweet from Joe Lockhart never went viral, what are the odds he would’ve admitted it was all a big joke? Slim to none? Zilch? No chance in the world? Quite possibly.

However, this ridiculous tweet from a man covering the impeachment of President Donald Trump ruffled quite a few feathers – and it isn’t hard to see why. Joe should feel pretty silly.

Never forget – THIS…is CNN…

Here’s his tweet:

Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. "is this stuff real? I haven't heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we're up shit's creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence

Here’s where he admits it was a lie:

Ok maybe I made up the convo, but you know that's exactly what they're thinking.

— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) January 22, 2020

Everyone relax. This is satire. Satire to make the point that Senators that are deciding the President's fate who only watch Fox News have never heard this stuff before. Because Fox is part of the coverup. https://t.co/ktCxCg1Irt

Reactions:

Well，that’s pretty irresponsible from someone with a verified check mark.

Funny, I know more about all this BECAUSE I watch Fox… see, I get to hear both sides, not just yours. If you also pulled your head out of your own wind tunnel, you would know the GOP Senators are thinking no such thing.

But then, maybe you DO and like lying to your followers

Joe please be better than this. We have enough people in media who aren’t right now. We depend on those who are even more now.

— We Just Need Sanity Again (@wealldissent) January 22, 2020

Democrats have made this ok now. Media never retracts their false stories.

— Julie (@Mightymouth5413) January 22, 2020

Oh I hope nobody retweets this and passes it off as true because this is false information

— DazeWTF2 (@DazeWtf2) January 22, 2020

Probably should delete the entire thing because it's already spreading and people are believing it.

— JM (@JJmac76) January 22, 2020

Irresponsible and unhelpful. Please be better.

— JackiSchechner (@JackiSchechner) January 22, 2020

This is actually outrageous. If a Daily Caller reporter did something like this, CNN would run entire segments about “right-wing disinformation.”@joelockhart, you are a hack. pic.twitter.com/kXHjJGQMVL

You would think someone who's attempting to cover Trump's impeachment trial seriously wouldn't willingly mislead his audience and spread disinformation in a sad attempt at satire. https://t.co/B7L8E5HaiH

Of course Jennifer Rubin retweeted this. She's the Queen of Fake news.

Joe, could you — and hear me out — maybe *not* “make up” convos? Seems like it’s been a bit problematic as it relates to public discourse.. Thanks.

Dude, not cool

You woke up on Thursday morning and not much changed, you know, other than Joe Biden being sworn-in as president of the United States. As sad as it sounds, Donald Trump is now a former president. Antifa is still doing its thing – causing mayhem; throwing tantrums. How does Joe feel about this taking place on the day of his inauguration? Does he feel like we’re “united?” Here’s some footage from Portland… https://twitter.com/jasonrantz/status/1352042944736481280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352042944736481280%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fbreaking-antifa-is-so-happy-about-biden-they-bust-up-dnc-building-in-portland-and-fight-with-cops%2F https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1352043124512747523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352043124512747523%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fbreaking-antifa-is-so-happy-about-biden-they-bust-up-dnc-building-in-portland-and-fight-with-cops%2F https://twitter.com/Uhbd1521/status/1352042748828905474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352042748828905474%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fbreaking-antifa-is-so-happy-about-biden-they-bust-up-dnc-building-in-portland-and-fight-with-cops%2F Check out this cop being surrounded… https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1352046446279856129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352046446279856129%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fbreaking-antifa-is-so-happy-about-biden-they-bust-up-dnc-building-in-portland-and-fight-with-cops%2F https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1352053833220947969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352053833220947969%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fbreaking-antifa-is-so-happy-about-biden-they-bust-up-dnc-building-in-portland-and-fight-with-cops%2F And don’t forget about Seattle… https://twitter.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1352065723623895040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352065723623895040%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2021%2F01%2Fseattle-antifa-terrorists-riot-target-amazon-store-video%2F https://twitter.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1352064273283911680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352064273283911680%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2021%2F01%2Fseattle-antifa-terrorists-riot-target-amazon-store-video%2F https://twitter.com/BGOnTheScene/status/1352067722989899778?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352067722989899778%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2021%2F01%2Fseattle-antifa-terrorists-riot-target-amazon-store-video%2F https://twitter.com/PrestonTVNews/status/1352074506492235776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1352074506492235776%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2021%2F01%2Fseattle-antifa-terrorists-riot-target-amazon-store-video%2F H/T: Right Scoop

Trump May Be Accessory to Murder for Inciting Capitol Riot ‘Insurrection,’ Says Pelosi

Nice try, Nancy.

If President Trump is an accessory to murder for inciting violence on January 6 at the Capitol building, then wouldn’t countless Democrats be accessories for all the slayings and beatings and censorship of conservatives over the years? Double standard much, Nancy? SMH. Check this out, via The Daily Wire: In an interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid Wednesday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested that now-former President Donald Trump could be held as an “accessory” to murder for “instigating” an “insurrection” at the United States Capitol. Pelosi, who presided over a vote to impeach Trump a second time but has yet to send the article of impeachment to the Senate for a trial, told Reid that she believed Trump directly encouraged rioters to attack the United States Capitol building and that Trump bears responsibility for the five deaths that happened as a result. Nancy barked, “When we talk about ‘did any of our colleagues collaborate?’ Well, that remains to be seen. We have to get the evidence of that. And if they did, they would be accessory to the crime. And the crime, in some cases, was murder.” She added, “And this president is an accessory to that crime because he instigated that insurrection that caused those deaths and this destruction.” LOOK: https://twitter.com/Millie__Weaver/status/1349853929568399368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1349853929568399368%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fnew-arrest-in-capitol-riots-and-what-a-surprise-its-a-blm-radical%2F https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1349864786092298240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1349864786092298240%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fnew-arrest-in-capitol-riots-and-what-a-surprise-its-a-blm-radical%2F https://twitter.com/tvheidihatch/status/1349851169103888384 https://twitter.com/tvheidihatch/status/1347025829058936832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1347025829058936832%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fnew-arrest-in-capitol-riots-and-what-a-surprise-its-a-blm-radical%2F https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1349856737180827649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1349856737180827649%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fnew-arrest-in-capitol-riots-and-what-a-surprise-its-a-blm-radical%2F H/T: Right Scoop
