A supporter of President Trump in Texas is using billboard space to slam ABC News over its coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Kyle Courtney of Boerne, Texas, placed an ad saying he "grew up with" ABC News but they let him down with coverage of the scandal, which includes allegations that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the election.

“ABC News: I grew up with you. We are through. The Russians didn’t elect Donald Trump. I did," the billboard reads.

“ABC News was the only channel I watched as a child growing up in Texas but I think they have lost touch with America and forgotten the working man," Courtney said in a statement, according to San Antonio's NBC News affiliate. Boerne is a suburb of San Antonio.

(Be glad no one ever told Trump wearing a bathrobe with a hood will keep people from wanting to stare at his strange roadkill hair!)

1. I would say Mr. Courtney has too much money that he doesn't have anything better to do with. n/t

2. Or some one with a lot of money is funding

this sympathetic "grass roots" supporter.

7. Yep.

3. I can only hope this (and the WH attacks on press/press conferences) will embolden the hell out of

them... I note CNN is running ads for a big piece (documentary?) on Russian hacking of the election coming up.

Keep it coming, MSM

4. 1. I think it's pronounced 'burnee'. 2. Why am I not surprised?

Hey, it's TEXAS!

5. this makes me crazy, will no one, not one media person ask this man if he supports

bannon and the alt right that elected Trump, and if so, would he like to apologize to women, minorities and gays for his help in making then non-people. The trump supporters own this. i'm sorry, but this shit is disgusting to me.

6. And the best part...?

A refreshing taste of Kool-Aid:

Kyle Courtney of Boerne, Texas (Tin-foil Alert!): "Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was FUNDED BY THE CLINTON FOUNDATION in close coordination with the media..."

Kyle must get those same Reich-wing emails in his in-box that I do. The difference - he believes them!

From Juanita Jean's:

"...there is no Kyle Courtney registered to vote in Boerne. There’s one in San Antonio but he’s way younger than a man who claims to have been in the water well business for 30 years. There’s not even a Courtney with the middle name of Kyle in all of Texas who is old enough to have been in business for 30 years."

So I'm guessing he's real, but did he actually vote? Is this: "The Russians didn’t elect Donald Trump. I did" - true?
