Challenging Facebook and Politifact, their political stooge

So I opened my Facebook page this morning and saw a warning message that a meme I posted 3 months ago was determined to be FALSE. I do not take such challenges lightly so I did some research and basically proved the statement on my meme was true. This is what I posted.

This is my Reply to Facebook and Politifact regarding your decision to mislabel a meme I shared on October 16, 2019 as FALSE.

Image 1 shows the original meme with the supposed quote from President Trump: "Make no mistake, they're not after me. They are after you; your guns, your Christian values, your freedom. I’m just in the way”

This is the overlay mask that Facebook applied to my image if you clicked on it.

Image 2 shows two screen captures from the official White House web site with a transcript from President Trump's speech before Christian groups at the Values Voter Summit on October 12, 2019. Full text here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-values-voter-summit/ with Trump's pertinent remarks highlighted in blue.

Image 3 shows the opinion from Politifact web site mislabeling the Trump quote.

Image 4 shows a screen capture from the certified Donald J. Trump official Twitter account showing another meme with a similar quote.

The meme that Politifact mislabeled as FALSE was in fact a paraphrase of Donald Trump's actual words condensed for brevity and therefore the meme is mostly true.

About this blog

Defending the Constitution.

Our country was created as a Constitutional Republic, a nation of laws, held together by the fabric of the Constitution. The Constitution limits the powers of the government while the first ten amendments, called The Bill of Rights, guarantee the rights of We The People.

Defending the Republic.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” —The Declaration of Independence—July 4th, 1776.
