A Trump-appointed judge dismissed Loudoun County, VA parents' lawsuit and in her ruling says AG Garland policy memo "does not label anyone a domestic terrorist, as the plaintiffs suggest."

And here are 3 separate statements to Fox News from Kevin McCarthy making this same bogus accusation (which has been spread far and wide by Fox and other wingnut media and become an article of faith in the GOP).
“We are watching what’s happening in the country … parents that are being attacked by the attorney general saying that somehow they are terrorists because they want to go to school board meetings.”
— House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), interview on Fox News, April 25
“We’re going to investigate the attorney general. Why did he go after parents, and call them terrorists, simply because they wanted to go to a school board meeting?”
— McCarthy, interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, April 20
“The other thing that comes with a new [GOP] majority is you’re able to hold this administration accountable. We’re able to stand up to an attorney general who goes after parents and calls them terrorists if they want to go to a school board meeting.”
— McCarthy, interview on “Fox News Sunday,” April 17
The WashPost correctly called these statements lies (as a federal judge now has).
McCarthy is putting words in Garland’s mouth. Garland has never equated parents to terrorists, and in fact he told Congress he “can’t imagine” a circumstance under which that would happen.

Why doesn't Whell ever point out such things in this thread he started on "fake news" (that he created as a service to this board)?
