MLG's Unhinged Rant Fact-Checked By Breitbart and NRA

It never ceases to amaze me at how such a total nincompoop as New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ever got elected, much less getting re-elected despite her loony policies, living lavishly on the taxpayers' dime and her groping scandal.

The latest is her rants last Friday on the Second Amendment. She made such ridiculous statements that she got herself fact-checked by both the National Rifle Association and Breitbart News. They have been brought to us in living color by Piñon Post. 

She claimed that AR-15 rifles are "automatic weapons". They're not. They are semi-automatics. Big difference.

Piñon Post starts with:

On Friday, far-left Gov. Michelle Lujan (D-NM) Grisham said she would continue her attacks against the Second Amendment — going further to say no one in America should personally own an “automatic weapon” while appearing for an interview on MSNBC. 

She said, “Frankly, no one that isn’t in the military — this is a weapon of war — or, uh, the trained police department. In my view, no one in America who isn’t in one of those two situations should own an automatic weapon. There is no reason to own one of those…. There is no reason.”

She also said she is “looking at” legislation that died in the last legislative session to “go after gun manufacturers. This is an all-of-the-above approach. Every single thing. I want fewer firearms in the street, I want no more gun trafficking, I want people held accountable, and what happened to Mr. Wilson? Did he reach out for help at the school? I’m going to need to know that. Was there a missed opportunity for a red flag high-risk protection order?”

But after making the unhinged statements, she got brutally fact-checked by Breitbart News and the National Rifle Association (NRA). 

Some of the proposed legislation that failed during the recent legislative session was due to being obviously unconstitutional. She needs to take a hard look at recent Supreme Court decisions before shooting off her mouth.

This comes from someone who won't secure New Mexico's southern border, thereby allowing drug & human traffickers, illegals and criminals into the state.

Joined Truth Social

Since Facebook persists on having "fact-checkers" stick their noses into conservative posts to inject their "opinions" (as stated in court a few months ago), I finally joined up with former President Donald Trump's new social media site Truth Social yesterday.

It is kind of like Twitter, except conservatives aren't harassed by "fact-checkers".

Stossel: Facebook Fact-Checking A Pretext Used To Defame Users

Television host John Stossel is suing Facebook and two of its fact-checking partners for defamation over two videos Stossel posted on Facebook.

From what the article states, Facebook is not "fact-checking", it's "opinion-checking".

From The Epoch Times:

Labels placed on posts on Facebook accompanying so-called fact-checks are opinion, lawyers for the social media platform’s parent company said in a recent court filing.

Television host John Stossel sued Facebook and two of its fact-checking partners, Science Feedback and Climate Feedback, earlier this year, accusing the entities of defaming him.

Stossel posted two video reports on Facebook, one of which explored the forest fires devastating California in 2020, including an interview with Michael Shellenberger, a climate change expert.

Stossel said that climate change has made things worse in the state; Shellenberger said climate change played a role but that mismanaged forests were the primary reason for the large fires.

Facebook placed a label over the video, telling users that it was “missing context.”

If users clicked through, they were met with a page on Climate Feedback’s website that stated “Claim – ‘forest fires are caused by poor management. Not by climate change.” and “Verdict: misleading.”

That claim, though, is “contained nowhere in” Stossel’s video, the suit says.

Stossel said he reached out to Climate Feedback and they didn’t respond, but two of the scientists listed as the group’s reviewers admitted they had not reviewed the video.

A similar situation played out with a different video, which explored “environmental alarmists.”

Stossel said the fact-checking process “is nothing more than a pretext used by defendants to defame users with impunity, particularly when defendants disagree with the scientific opinions expressed in user content.”

The case was filed in federal court in northern California.

I hope Stossel prevails. This is one case we should keep a sharp eye on.

I have my own issues with Facebook. My account is currently "restricted" for "at least 90 days" for "shared false information".

These are attached to my account:

 

I agree with Stossel's claim that Facebook's fact-checking process is nothing more than a pretext used by them to defame users with impunity. Items shared by me were all already in the news feed and not originated by me.

Facebook feels it can abuse users with so-called fact-checking that are solely based on their opinion, as its own lawyers stated in court filings. Interesting.
