This is how gateway pundit, one of the deplorable's favorite sources operates.
The headline:
Notice the question mark.
WOW! Some journalistic standards there.
The story was based on this Tweet.
Of course this is HUGE news if true.
So what do they call it if it is not true?
I call it garbage.
And that garbage was re-Tweeted over 3500 times.
You need to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find the 'update.'
UPDATE: We have not been able to confirm these allegations by Doug Lewis.
They only put that update there because it was proven to be a bunch of ****.
Tweeter Doug Lewis #MAGA, the Navy veteran who 'served 22 years for his country,' couldn't seem to remember how many purple hearts he had received.
After a Washington Post reporter called him out for his stolen valor, he deleted his Twitter account.
How fitting that it was a WaPo reporter who busted him.
What Ben Howe of Redstate.com had to say about it.
He's talking about Jim Hoft of gatewaypundit.com.
He never mentioned that the Tweeter, Doug Lewis, was a fraud.
