Fox Watching Republican Shocked To Learn That Mueller Didn't Exonerate Trump

From the article:

A woman at Rep. Justin Amash’s recent town hall was confused because she votes Republican listens to conservative news and she had never heard anything about the Mueller report not exonerating Trump.


Cathy Garnaat, a Republican who supported Amash and the president said she was upset about Amash’s position but wanted to hear his reasoning. She said that she will definitely support Trump in 2020 but that Tuesday night was the first time she had heard that the Mueller report didn’t completely exonerate the president.

I am certain that Ms. Garnaat considers herself to be a well informed voter.

Is to keep Repiblican's well-informed- except that being well informed means knowing the Republican talking points and not the actual truth.

They make their own truth.

She must've of known not to listen them. Which means she made a decision at some point to retreat to her own bubble therefore she was willfully ignorant. She wasn't ignorant on accident, but she chose to be ignorant.

So she either does not know the truth about Trump, making her uninformed, or she does not care. Making her disgusting.

what I'm missing. What he says, what he does, the blatant lies, the pandering to our enemies, the huge evangelical support, the blatant racism, and even most of my family - leave me questioning myself. What am I missing. Living in rural Central Texas most of my neighbors actually think Trump is the best President in their lifetime.

Almost as if there are parallel universes.

The open, blatant racism is a huge part of Trump's appeal for the racist core of the GOP.
