Kayleigh McEnany shows where the murder rate under Joe Biden spiked. There is a problem

[Norbert]

The spike she is showing is the year 2020 when her hero was president. What an idiot.

1. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But TFG is not known for surrounding himself with smart people.

[iluvtennis]

11. In my opinion, she is one of the dullest - in more ways than one. n/t

[catrose]

13. Makes you think anybody could get through Harvard.

[Mr.Bill]

16. If you take someone with an IQ of 90,

and put them through Harvard, you will have someone with a degree from Harvard and an IQ of 90.

[Jerry2144]

17. Yes

She really is as sharp as a bowling ball, isn’t she?

[Tomconroy]

2. Yeah. Too early for annual stats under Biden.

[Xoan]

3. She couldn't pass the Bar exam.

[IcyPeas]

4. apparently she has deleted the tweet. but once it's out there her followers will beLIEve it.

[zaj]

5. This isn't stupid, it's malicious.

We need the stop acting like their propaganda and lies is the act of ingorant goofs. It's deliberate, unapologetic lies. And it works. Mocking them for being stupid makes them look helpless and us look helpless too.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. +1000000!

[c-rational]

23. Well said.

[ailsagirl]

24. They'll try to get away with anything they can

Pathetic and vicious and utterly without scruples

[SMC22307]

27. Exactly. (n/t)

[Rebl2]

6. Murder rate

in my area of the Midwest started going up after trump became president. One of our lowest rates was when Obama was in office.

[Champp]

8. This could be an intentional lie on her part

I mean, that's her track record. Tell a lie a lot and the RepubliQan zombie corps will lap it up without a thought. Without a thought at all. RepubliQons have lowered themselves to become sponges sopping up rivers of toxic bullshit.

[Celerity]

9. +1

[Marcuse]

10. !

[paleotn]

12. What do you expect? She's Trump Trash, thus barely literate.

[Mysterian]

14. I hope Harvard is proud of their transfer grad

McEnany has academic smarts but no practical smarts and the morals of a moray eel.

[Dakota Flint]

25. Oh come on now

Moray eels have way more class and morals compared to that pathetic thing.

[Mr.Bill]

15. As a special bonus on her chart,

look what happened to the rate when Bill Clinton was in office.

[gratuitous]

18. Lighten up on Kayleigh!

You expect her to remember every little insignificant detail from the distant past like [checks notes] the year 2020? Who could possibly remember who was president that long ago? We can argue all day long about who was president when, but the fact of the matter is that Joe Biden is president now (please don't tell the former guy I said that, he'd be hopping mad), and now is when Kayleigh saw that chart in the fake New York Times, which ordinarily you shouldn't trust, but Kayleigh wants to make a point.

19. Simple Minds are the easiest to confuse...It takes one to know one in this case.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Just ignore this crap. She is vapid. There is nothing here but delusional spew. Why? nt

[ShazzieB]

21. I wonder if this is an intentional lie or if she's really that stupid.

It could go either way, I think. As some have pointed out, Ms. "I will never lie to you" has a proven track record of serious, boldface lying, and she's definitely moral enough to lie deliberately when it suits her malicious purposes. However...

As others have pointed out, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I could easily see her pouncing gleefully on that Lachlan Markay tweet and retweeting it without stopping to think about which year the one with the big spike actually was. If she'd bothered to even glance at the NY Times article, that wouldn't have happened, but of course she wouldn't take the time to do that.

If it was a deliberate lie, it was certainly a stupid one. All she accomplished was to draw attention to a statistic that makes her Dear Leader look really, really bad AND tie the information in that chart to him in a way that the original source does not.

Sure, she deleted the tweet, but not before tons of people saw it and passed it along to others. TFG's cult members will probably have taken it at face value and believed it, but most people won't. And all those of us who have seen it and understood what it really means now have that chart etched in our brains in a way that it wouldn't have been otherwise.

My verdict: KM's tweet was definitely an act of stupidity. If the lying was deliberate, it was a very, very stupid lie that did not have the intended effect and left her with a large amount of egg on her face. Win/win for our side either way.

[wryter2000]

22. That has to be pandemic stress

And yes, she's an idiot

[wellst0nev0ter]

26. Democrats missed the easiest layup of the 2020 election

by not repeating endlessly how there is a "Trump Crime Wave."

Instead too many cowered in fear of "defund the police"

[calimary]

28. A swing and a miss!

But frankly, did we ever expect anything otherwise from the likes of her?
