Remember when mean, sinister House Republicans celebrated taking health insurance away from Americans by kicking back and drinking beer? Immediately after the vote, Alexandra Jaffe saw the evidence with her own eyes: 

Cases upon cases of beer just rolled into the Capitol on a cart covered in a sheet. Spotted Bud Light peeking out from the sheet

— Alexandra Jaffe (@ajjaffe) May 4, 2017

Immediately, people on Twitter went nuts.  Finally (!!) they have proof that Republicans are heartless, cold, wenches.  There was only one problem with that.  It didn’t happen.  A few minutes later — but not before news organizations ran with the story — Jaffe said the beer wasn’t actually for the Republicans.  (Oops!)  But the story still had legs, facts be damned.

CNN’s Chris Cillizza uses this — and other incidents — as evidence that Donald Trump is living in the heads of liberals, rent free:

The firing of White House chief usher Angella Reid, the first woman to hold that job, was seized on as the latest piece of evidence that Trump and his administration was nothing more than an old boys club — openly hostile to women and minorities.

Turns out, according to Axios reporting, that Reid got along well with the President and First Lady but was far less popular with the staff of the White House she oversaw. “When her departure was announced to the residence staff yesterday morning, workers burst into applause,” Axios reported.

In each of these four instances — and all of these have been in the last week! — liberals, fueled by Twitter outrage, jumped to conclusions that portrayed Trump and other Republicans in the poorest possible light. And, on each occasion, the fuller story either totally or mostly rebutted the version of the story the left had seized on.

In other words, the left is drunk on their anti-Trump hysteria.  As Truth Revolt wrote, “It’s going to be a long 4 to 8 years. For them. For conservatives, it’s kind of fun.”
