Notice how hard it is to tell actual conservative commentary from satire?
And how easy it is taken in by fake news and pass it on, especially when it suits your politics.

In 2016, commenting in the Sun newspaper on Obama's decision to remove the bust of the wartime prime minister, Johnson highlighted how it may be viewed as "a snub to Britain".

He added: "Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."


Johnson was later asked if he regretted the phrasing of his comments, to which he replied: "Of course not."

LOL

And that is a "racist diatribe"?

Of course  it was, in common with Trump's persistent lie about Obama's origins pandering to the Birther conspiracy theories about Obama  held and propounded by racists. How else would Bullsh*t Johnson be aware about Obama's particulars. Unlike Trump, Johnson disguised his ridiculous racist sneer behind a veil of his attempt at light humour.

Who ever said I was offended about it

You can find something to be stupid and ridiculous without being offended by it you know

Main Street

I read that the lawyer for the woman who is being or likely to be charged with some offenses relating to the attempted coup (stealing  Nancy's laptop?) is blaming Trump for the riot and said in court that she "took the president's bait.
The USA's great republican patriots are quick to run for cover and squeal on their great leader Trump in order to save their own skin.

Tulsi gabbard gave her former colleagues a good roasting on joe rogan , basically the tactics were don't pass any bill or any legislation that might give Trump a win or make him look good in the public's eyes whether it's beneficial to the voters or not . Anyone with a brain knew this already of course ,

Right out of the Mitch McConnell playbook.

Did she have any examples?

Trump got his tax cut with the first congress. John McCain sank his attempt to get rid of Obamacare.

What legislation was torpedoed by Pelosi that could have benefited the country?

Way to miss the point. If you look at the preceeding posts you'd see what occurred.

That's so true. Conservatives in the US and the UK have killed political satire

I saw exactly what occurred and of course Eamon couldn't wait to post it but you're the one who introduced "fake news" to the discussion, thereby drawing a parallel between the two.
