Aug 2015

here for almost two months before the NN event.

Clinton supporters, close to 100% exclusively Clinton supporters, began pushing it here at DU on May 27th.

On the same day, May 27th, RW hacks began promoting the meme also.

There are a whole lot of BS OP's and swarm threads full of toxic filth on this subject that can be easily researched using the DU search function.

Vile.

I disagree. Armstead Aug 2015 #54
