Every. Single. Time.

Oh, and O'Keefe is indeed a liar, grifter and a fraud like all MAGA personalities. Indeed, the entire MAGA movement is a criminal enterprise. You'll eventually learn this. Maybe (you're really slow on the uptake).
The truth is I made no comment about the story's content. You did, and in the process suggested I was defending someone. You lied. Just like you do:

Every. Single. Time.

Sorry you don't like the truth, but there it is.

Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Johnson and Tucker Carlson go on TV and say that windmills kill whales.

That wasn't his point. I highlighted his primary point, but you chose to ignore it. And you have no clue what his politics are, so your reflexive association of his article with "MAGAWorld" is simply more of your mischaracterizing, lying BS.

From the Daily Mail article that I posted a link to above in my previous post:

"The editor-in-chief of one of the world's leading academic journals has rebuked a scientist who claimed that research about climate change is rejected if it does not 'support certain narratives'.

Dr Magdalena Skipper, the top editor at Nature, accused Patrick T. Brown, a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University and doctor of earth and climate sciences, of 'poor research practices' that are 'highly irresponsible'."

In other words, you know nothing about him, particularly his political bent, but you're willing to go beyond speculating and conclude what his politics are.

You're disgusting.

His whininess is telltale, as is yours.

When the reflexive defender of a quadruply-indicted subliterate criminal defendant, adjudicated rapist, malignant narcissist and compulsive liar calls you disgusting, it can only be interpreted as a compliment. Much appreciated.

Another example of you lying just to score a cheap debate point. Bravo.
