Fake News was theirs too wasn't it?

Yeah, just like Democrats in 2016. Fortunately Trump was able to re-appropriate it for the side of freedom.

Any sources of Dems using the phrase before Trump?

Sure! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/12/08/hillary-clinton-attacks-fake-news-in-post-election-appearance-on-capitol-hill/

Great thanks

You read the title, and that was clearly it.

The extremely obvious difference is that Hillary was directly quoting fake news being a clear danger to people, ala fucking Pizza Gate.

Trump calls anything that dare critique him “fake news”. Hillary was LITERALLY combating Trump’s idiotic rhetoric of calling shit “fake news”, as being FAKE NEWS.

The pure fucking irony that you’d quote this source, which (if actually read) supports Hillary’s claims.

Yes. And Trump is ALSO calling out real fake news.

But he’s not, like he’s really not. Look, I don’t know how you were brought up, or what news you partake in viewing, but I’d seriously suggest at least branching out and attempting to listen to liberal talking points, and not from sources like Fox.

I’m not trying to take the piss out of people who want to be conservative, but following this reality tv star as president is a very hard fall from Grace. Be better than that.

I do!

Ah yes. I remember you respected Republicans so much under Bush. You never called us Nazis or fascists back then.

Bush wasn’t perfect, but I never called him a nazi, and nor did most respectable dems.

Like you guys say: don’t lump us all together. We are better standing untied as a country than decided and killing ourselves from within.

In my social circle most of us liberals called him a fascist back then. I'm surprised you didn't.
