    A new Ohio State University study finds that fake news probably played a significant role in depressing Hillary Clinton’s support on Election Day.

    The study suggests that about 4% of Barack Obama’s 2012 supporters were dissuaded from voting for Clinton in 2016 by belief in fake news stories.

  5. I met an ex-marine in his 20s now in his 40s here who went home early to vote for Trump because he literally believed she slept though the '3am call'. That was what "killed our boys" in Benghazi.

    A lot of conservative guys are just staggeringly stupid. Of course then there were the Jill Stein voters..

    The US had deployable assets in the area that could have rescued Stevens and others.

    After all wasn't it some spontaneous outrage to some video tape?

    Republican Benghazi Report disputes that, may want to read it.


    "The report, which included perhaps the most exhaustive chronology of the attacks to date, did not dispute that United States military forces stationed in Europe could not have reached Benghazi in time to rescue the personnel who died — a central finding of previous inquiries."

    That's it? That's your comeback after trying to push the bullshit narrative that Saudi funded jihadists needed second hand weapons from US to continue their conservative mission?
