The Majority Of American People Agree With The President....

or the majority of American People agree with us Repugs.

This is the 'go to' line that the Repugs and Trump administration uses when they get backed into a corner - and nobody ever challenges them on it

It's been used so often - that it seems like the media just accept it as fact and move on.

There are approximately 320 million Americans in this country. The media needs to start challenging anyone that uses this line with the following question:

"You know there are approximately 320 million Americans in this country. You mean to tell me you have data that supports you that over 160 million Americans agree with you? Can you point us to that data?"

And further they should tell them - when they can't point to data that supports their statement that:

"Sir - You have no right saying that if you cannot back up your statement."

I am sick and tired of hearing that lie being used and being accepted as fact. Anytime anyone - Repug or Dem - uses that line - they need to be challenged. Otherwise we should just consider them being 'full of it'.

They actually believe that illegals and dead people are voting for Democrats.

How many times in the last three days have you heard... "Well if we had told anyone about the ban the terrorist would have all jumped on a plane to get here before it happened" Really! Do they have any idea at all the process for refugees to get into this country? This level of stupid should not be allowed to vote, hold office and just in case mess with the gene pool. Why is no one calling them on this ridicules statement. Hey media, do your job. This kind of lazy reporting is what that put this idiot in the WH.
