Honest media relies on honest government. We’d settle for one of the two.

WE THE PEOPLE demand clarity and honesty in government, especially in terms of threats to United States citizens.
Throughout these past few days, Americans have been on edge about reports of sleeper cell activation and possible drone attacks, specifically in California. When ABC News ran a story regarding one such threat, KKKaroline Leavitt released the following statement: “This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on *unverified* intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story! WHY? TO BE CLEAR: No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.”
This statement should be concerning to members of Congress and the United States public in general- 1) because it acknowledges that a tip did exist and was basically ignored, and 2) because ABC reports that they did reach out to KKKaroline and were denied a response from her.
As expressed in my previous communications, a free media only works if the government is honest. WE THE PEOPLE are sick of being lied to and largely left in the dark about topics that affect us directly.
Protect the right to a free press. Impeach the Trump administration.
