Following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victor last night, President Trump sent a congratulatory tweet in which he mistakenly identified Kansas City as being in Kansas. He quickly corrected the tweet with “Missouri” and it was really no big deal. Well, it was no big deal for normal people but the abnormal mutants at fake news CNN completely lost their minds. With nothing important to report on concerning the impeachment trial or the Iowa caucuses, CNN freaked the hell out letting everyone know how this minor geography mistake matters a lot.
Here’s one of the more hysterical things of the past three and half years from CNN’s editor-at-large Chris Cillizza: Why Donald Trump’s ‘Kansas’ mistake absolutely matters
I’m sensing some new articles of impeachment here. Let’s let Cillizza begin the inquiry:
Soon after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the President of the United States tweeted this:
“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure. You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!”
The problem, of course, is that the Chiefs play in Kansas City, MISSOURI not Kansas City, KANSAS. The initial Trump tweet was deleted and replaced by one with the right state affiliation.
Hey, it s called “Kansas” City, there is a Kansas City in Kansas, it borders Kansas and plenty of people in Kansas are Chiefs fans. Let it go.
But CNN wouldn’t be fake news if they didn’t pounce on every stupid little thing and they really do consider this a major problem:
Yes, there’s no question that Trump should have known the Chiefs play in Missouri not Kansas. And yes, someone in the White House should have looked at the tweet before it posted so that mistake could have been caught.
But presidents — and presidential candidates — occasionally make these mistakes. Everyone remembers that in May 2008 then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said this: “It is wonderful to be back in Oregon. Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states.”
So, it happens. But here’s why Trump doesn’t get a pass. Because he and his administration have made a HUGE point of picking out the slip-ups of past politicians and questioning people over their supposed lack of knowledge of geography.
In 2018, Trump actually tweeted about the “57 states” flub. “When President Obama said that he has been to ’57 States,’ very little mention in Fake News Media,’ wrote Trump. “Can you imagine if I said that…story of the year!”
So Trump doesn’t get a pass because he made fun of Obama thinking there are 57 states in America? The actual reason Trump doesn’t get a pass is because he’s Trump and this is CNN.
The ironic thing here is that Trump said if he made a mistake like Obama did, it would be big news and CNN proved him right by going bonkers on his minor geography mistake.
And let’s keep in mind that CNN has had more than a few issues with geography themselves. Here’s them not knowing where the hell Hong Kong is:
And who can forget them mixing up Indiana and Kentucky?
Then there was that time CNN thought Australia shares a border with Slovenia:
Where the f*ck is NYC?
Or when they moved Mississippi over one state displacing Alabama:
On top of all this, CNN will not criticize Joe Biden who has no idea where anything is or where he is at any given point.
CNN says it matters a lot that Trump made this minor geography mistake, but the actual big deal is that they think this qualifies as news. This is also why they are the fakest of all the fake news outlets.
