Ellison isn't the brightest bulb.


Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), a potential candidate for the Democratic National Committee chair, said President-elect Donald Trump won “because he was able to throw hate and poison on Hillary Clinton.”

Ellison said, “I tell you whose brand was tainted is Donald Trump. This guy was tainted every kind of way you could imagine. I mean no way in the world that Donald Trump is a champion of working people. He has hurt workers in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Florida, multiple bankruptcies, never showed his taxes. I don’t know any good thing this guy has done. And yet because he was able to throw hate and poison on Hillary Clinton, he was able to somehow prevail at least in terms of the electoral college. He actually lost the popular vote. I think he was skilled at just sort of keeping the attention on anyone but himself. But this guy is the most outrageous person ever to win a presidential election.”

Chuck Todd then asks: "So you're not going to put any blame on Hillary Clinton herself?"

He added, “I’m not going to get up here cast fault on Democrats. I think that — look, negative campaigning, people do it because sometimes it works. In this particular case, him saying all this stuff that he said, you know, had an impact.”

I watched the video and the question in bold was asked by Chuck Todd but it didn't make it into print. not sure why?

So, nNo blame for Hillary? Of course not Mr Todd! That's not how the Dems think. Does Todd think Ellison is a Republican or something?

I hope the Dems make the STUPID choice and pick Ellison to head the DNC. What a dim bulb he is. TM

Hillary Clinton supporters now blame Facebook for losing the US elections

No wait, it was the fault of white trash, uneducated America.

No wait, the white male is to blame.

No…it was the fault of the patriarchy.

No wait, it was Facebook fault.

Hillary Clinton’s loss is everyone else’s fault except for Hillary Clinton and her criminal past, and present.
More blame for anyone but Corrupt, Lying Hillary TM

This is liberal logic in overdrive. SJW-snowflakes are never to blame, it is always the fault of someone else, or something else. Accountability and responsibility are words not to be found in a neo-liberal progressive dictionary.

Liberal media is turning on Facebook, publishing a flurry of posts that claim, despite Facebook’s best efforts to filter out “false news”, some “false news” still managed to get through onto people’s feed…and this lost the election for crooked Hillary.

The “Facebook is to blame” narrative is part of a new analysis by Pew Research Centre which says more than 44% of Americans consulted Facebook to get information throughout the campaign cycle, which was replete with highly offensive, controversial and fake news about the Democratic candidate.

Mark Zuckerberg was not about to allow Facebook to be thrown under the bus by the SJW-snowflake coalition.

At the Techonomy 2016 in California, Zuckerberg said that Facebook should not be held responsible for how the elections turned out…

“Personally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way — I think is a pretty crazy idea.”
“I do think there is a certain profound lack of empathy in asserting that the only reason someone could have voted the way they did is they saw some fake news. If you believe that, then I don’t think you have internalized the message the Trump supporters are trying to send in this election.”
“I think we would be surprised by how many things that don’t conform to our worldview, we just tune out.”
“People tend to have some friends with diverse opinions, but Facebook’s research shows people tend to ignore their posts. The biggest filter in the system is not that the content isn’t there, but just that you don’t click on it.”

The Facebook CEO cited the research they had conducted which found that liberals and conservatives only see around 1% less news from the other side. The study reinforced that people did not click on news that did not reinforce their previously held beliefs.

Liberal media, Hillary surrogate publication Vox actually places Facebook ahead of Hillary Clinton’s campaign as the cause for HRC’s loss.
