jimsciutto The reporters at CNN look straight in to the camera and lie to the American people 24/7 Fake, lying partisan news

jimsciutto 💥CNN has NO CREDIBILITY to say who is and who is not telling the truth as they 'lie' 24/7 💥

jimsciutto Why can’t the headline state Pence lied?

jimsciutto Did not tell the truth is a polite way of saying he is a liar. And yes he is. Trump was tweeting that dribble yesterday. While they make a issue about a word gaffe by Biden that he corrects immediately! Biden social distances, where masks & promotes safety. Trump the opposite.

jimsciutto Haaaa. Like would recognize anything resembling the truth. is a political identity rag with terrible ratings and will bend the knee in any direction the wind may shift. They are incredibly flexible as there is no foundation in this org, just woke lil biatches

jimsciutto I hope amaericans won’t end up like lybia

jimsciutto That’s his opinion. The curve was flattened with his help so not exactly the lie you are bragging about.

jimsciutto 'Did not tell the truth'. Do you mean to say he lied? I'm aghast. I find that hard to believe.

jimsciutto How can he live with himself?

jimsciutto Technically the curve is flat... it’s just vertical

jimsciutto Trumps theory of no test would result in no cases just doesn't hold water. People still end up in the hospital. He's way over his head and needs to step down before the virus is totally out of control if it hasn't already.

jimsciutto so Pence lied?!!!

jimsciutto Well this ignorant administration DID flatten the curve.. its flat.. it’s flattened from the top..EVERY other country but this one..

jimsciutto Yep shame on him too.

jimsciutto Pence is so irresponsible! I watched him tell the press reasons why he and Donnie had young people assemble in a crowded church, no masks. And why they had the rally in Oklahoma. It was so disgusting and such bull shit coming out of his sleepy face mouth. I pray they lose 11/20!

jimsciutto They did slow the virus.

jimsciutto “Lied” is the word you were looking for, jimsciutto

jimsciutto You are absolutely pathetic and your ratings are sinking faster than the Titanic.

jimsciutto Illinois you rock. Way to follow cdc suggestions!

jimsciutto Pence LIED

jimsciutto

jimsciutto Hey CNN… Wake up… There are less cases today than they were on the high in April… Pay attention 🤔

jimsciutto Mike_Pence has plenty of experience with lying. He is a member of the Trump administration, after all.

jimsciutto funny fauci and burks said the same thing......but whatever CNN

jimsciutto MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

No, we are getting worse.

To me it didn’t look like a typical blackface, but more like an excess tan. It’s good she apologized I guess

YouTubeMexico para cuando el canal de ChumelTorres ?

People- 'Karma always comes back around.' Also people- 'Ugh, it was 10 years ago, she shouldn't be punished for it now!'
