In reply to the discussion: GOP Congresswoman Blames Deep State For Ben Carsons $31,000 Dining Set [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,475 posts)29. Reporting on this is a job for Wonkette:
Oh, Gideon. Dont you see that if Deep State operatives can fabricate the Trump-Russia hoax out of thin air, threaten an innocent dachshund, and mysteriously order dining room furniture against the will of a cabinet secretary (and brilliant neurosurgeon!), then forging emails would be as nothing to these people?
Oh, sure, maybe in that House Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday, Carson himself said that hed actually had very little input into the selection of the dinette, and was astonished by the prices hed seen in a catalog, but the reality was that I left it with my wife. But can we know for sure Carson is able to speak freely? Who knows what mysterious Deep State forces might be compelling him to shift the blame to someone else, which members of this administration would never stoop to?
Besides, in the radio interview, Tenney had plenty more to say. One host asked if nepotism may have played a role, since Candy Carson was involved in the furniture deliberation. Now thats just silly, Tenney explained:
Ergo, he is incapable of making bad decisions in an administration where other cabinet members are racking up millions of dollars in jet rides, building Cones of Silence in their offices, or blowing amazing amounts on new doors. You have to go for the obvious explanation: Somebodys setting up Ben Carson.

Nepotism is when you hire a family member, Tenney corrected them. What it is is that people in the Deep State whove been there, they might bethey say hey were going to buy this because this is what somebody else did.
I know that Ben Carson did not order that table, Tenney continued. It has nothing to do with him. He comes from, you know, poverty.

Good. I'm glad she's showing how ridiculous this "deep state" BS is. The new "fake news".
