So he's making up an antisemitic quote and attributing it to trump. Why put words in his mouth when the actual words are just as bad, if not worse? -- nm*

no he's citing a faked post as if Trump actually said it. -- nm - mud Aug 18, 12:41 1
- That's what I was trying to say, thanks. Phrased it poorly. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 12:42
It's a time honored bit. People need to fucking chillax. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 12:41 11
- I guess the litmus test is "Would Colbert do it?" ... if he did, I think he'd make it much more clear that it was a fiction. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 12:43 10
  - Good lord. He's not responsible for dense people falling for an obvious joke and not checking their sources. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 18, 12:45 9
    - wait, so you're saying AF knew it was a faked post and just went ahead and repeated it. I thought he believed it was real. -- nm - mud Aug 18, 12:48 8
      - I'm saying he make the jokey joke and people took him seriously for who knows what fucking reason. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 12:49 7
        
        it works better as an audible joke than in text. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 12:59
        
        he's not making any joke, he's repeating a fake for a laugh. Trump Reality is horrible enough. -- nm - mud Aug 18, 12:51 5
        
        You're fucking with me, right? - Reagen Aug 18, 12:55 2
        
        he's the originator of it? .. oh. -- nm - mud Aug 18, 12:56 1
        
        Yes. It's just context. Colbert would totally make that joke in his monologue and everyone would know it was a joke. Twitter is a more complicated - pmb Aug 18, 12:58
        
        Others are repeating Franken. Franken made the joke by faking Trump -- nm - oblique Aug 18, 12:54 1
        
        [sigh] -- nm - mud Aug 18, 13:11
