23. We could always use the Republicans' tactic against them here
Tue Dec 24, 2024, 12:36 AM

Remove the date, publicize the hell out of it, and infer that Netanyahu is talking about Trump.

Then when they come back and say, “wait, that’s not what he meant, this was taken out of context,” just ignore them. Double down like they do. “Bibi said it, so there.” Republicans take advantage all the time of “a lie has made its way around the world before the truth gets out of bed.” So give them a taste of their own medicine. When they come back with the real date (which we just omit, don’t falsify), and whine that Bibi meant Biden, we just shrug our shoulders, like Fox Noise. But unlike Fox, don’t lie, just omit. Let them clean up the mess for once.
