How to control the narrative

Democrats should repeat these facts in each and every interview

* Trump has no regard for our Constitution
* Trump has been in constant violation of our Constitution since the day he took office.
* Three of Trump's executive orders have been ruled unConstitutional.
* Trump would not be president right now if not for Russian interference in our election.
* Trump was guilty of defrauding 1,000s of Trump University students and had to pay $25 million to settle the class action lawsuit.
* Trump lies 71% of the time


Republicans repeat their accusations in each and every interview, and that's how they control the narrative. The difference is: their accusations are not based on facts.

Two members of alt-right accused of making white supremacist hand signs in White House after receivi

Two conservative journalists have sparked outcry on social media by making what some have interpreted as a white supremacist hand symbol at a recent visit to the White House.

Alt-right journalist Lucian Wintrich, a writer for The Gateway Pundit, sparked outcry when he flashed the symbol in a similar picture at the White House in February. Notorious alt-right personality Milo Yiannopoulos also frequently flashes the symbol.

The resurgence of the symbol may be traced back to a popular alt-right meme, known as “smug Pepe,” which began circulating on alt-right, pro-Trump message boards in 2015. Mr Trump often uses the symbol when speaking, explaining its significance with the president’s supporters.

In a related story, one of Trump’s national security advisors, Sebastian Gorka, will be reassigned due to his being a member of a Hungarian Nazi group.
