posts about the lab leak theory. acknowledging maybe it wasn't a conspiracy theory at all. like the "new york times" is doing. fake news cnn and doing and the "washingtons doing. despite proceeding evidence supporting the lab leak theory some in the media mob still don't want to talk about or and questions. a a fake news reporter at the "new york times" said we will admit its racist roots. the "new york times" wanted really answers about a virus that killed millions worldwide? that's racist. the biden administration is trying to jam through that guy. as the atf, nominee. david chipman. stumped yesterday when asked to define, you want to ban assault weapons and you don't want any police and schools protecting our kids. what is an assault weapon? define it. watch. >> do you believe in banning assault weapons? >> i do. >> define all the assault weapons. >> they would be something that members of congress would define. >> well, how do you define it you? are going to be running the agency? >> senator this is a good question. if i am confirmed as the atf director -- >> i have 35 seconds left. define it, please, sir. what is an assault weapon? >> yeah, senato

washington, d.c. i've seen a lot of bad reporting in my time. the events that occurred starting on april 30 are there at the top of bad reporting. "the washington post," "the new york times," and nbc all had to retract their reporting about russian disinformation warnings given to rudy giuliani. i'm not here to talk about rudy giuliani. i'm talking about how this report affects me and senator johnson. because unfortunately in "the washington post" article, my and senator johnson's investigations into the biden family's financial dealings was tethered once again to russian disinformation attempts, and that tethering is what i've been here on the floor of the house maybe more than a year now trying to explain that that just is a big hoax. the report was based on an anonymous current and former u.s. officials. apparently "the washington post" still hasn't figured out how to read a senate report. my staff also spent many hours talking with the post the day before the story ran in order to help them understand. and i presume they called us. we didn't call them. so i'm going to quote from my staff's e-mailing them the following. which in the end the post complete -- the

ended their ban on posts about the lab leak theory acknowledging maybe it wasn't that conspiracy theory at all. just like "the new york times" is doing, big news cnn is doing, "washingtons doing. but despite growing evidence supporting the lab leak theory, some of the media mob still don't want to ever talk about it and they don't want to be able to ask legitimate questions. for example, fake news reporter over at "the new york times" tweeting "someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots." alas, that is my period. maggie haberman blaming donald trump, i guess at "the new york times" they wanted to get real answers about a virus that has killed millions worldwide. that's racist? the destructive democratic agenda doesn't stop there because the biden administration is now trying to jam through that guy as he as the atf nominee. alcohol, tobacco firearms. no friend of the second amendment in our constitution, stumped repeatedly yesterday when asked to define. you want to ban assault weapons and you don't want any police and schools protecting our kids. well, what is an assault weapon, can you define it? watch. >> do you beli

in the media, the "new york times" and the "washington post" both of did the best they could to censordefend black lives matter and preend this this is not going on. this is a shocking event that is taking place. joe biden, what will the hell will you do? our prior president donald trump was a strong supporter against anti-semitism. this is a disgrace that we allow marxists to do what they are doing. pushing critical race theory. joe biden is funding the critical race theory to go into our class rooms. this is black panther 1960s crop they are trying to put into the minds of our children. what is the hell is going in this country with that party? i want to save a minute or two for my dear friend president trump. this democratic party is acting like the soviet communist party. new grand jury seated for next stage of trump investigation? donald trump is a multi-billionaire. they are digging into his tax returns and going after his son and the divorce that took place with his former wife. they are inher goths them. oo -- intergating them to find violations. the feds investigated trump and

but i read the new york times, washington post. i must admit i read the wall street journal. i don't think the picture is being given there is accurate. the situation is like this -- hamas has suffered a huge spanking, big-time. i don't know at this moment i am talking to you how many hamas armed personnel are buried, struggling to come out in the tunnels and in the bunkers that were attacked by the israeli air force. they don't know, they don't publish it. we don't know, we don't publish it. we are thinking about major, major punishment. at night, the israeli army, the bible says in hebrew, you make war with -- then have a drink. they announced they were going to have a ground operation in gaza and they moved tanks and artillery and infantry units along the boundaries of the gaza strip, making sure the lighting would allow hamas to see the decks. then many hundreds of hamas operatives came out of the tunnels of the bunkers to take their offensive visions -- positions, and they were hit by 150 israeli planes. i don't know to tell you, nobody can, whether we are talking dozens
