Justin's Political Corner

Last week, prominent far-right fringe voice Dana Loesch has been in a heap of lies, ranging from her rampant Islamophobia by the demonization of Huma Abedin to declaring aCONSERVATIVE Christian caller who criticized Chick-Fil-A’s anti-LGBTQ polices a “phony Christian.” Also, on ABC’s This Week, Loesch lied her ass off to the American people.

MMFA: Loesch defends Bachmann’s false charges about Abedin’s alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood (or Sisterhood), even after at least two CNN personalities debunked the story as a lie.

Last week, CNN contributor Dana Loesch claimed a State Department official has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood — even as her CNN co-workers Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper dismissed such charges as “McCarthy-like.”

On her July 19 radio show, Loesch was discussing charges initially brought by Rep. Michele Bachmann, who in June sent a series of letters to federal agencies claiming that “individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood” are influencing State Department policies. Bachmann singled out Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin — who is also married to former Rep. Anthony Weiner — and claimed that Abedin’s family has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood; she later openly wondered how Abedin “was able to avoid being disqualified for a security clearance.”
