CNN Anal-ist admits he lied about GOP Senators' conversation

It's hard to know whether to call Joe Lockhart a Comedy News Network (CNN) political analyst or just an anal-ist. He apparently thinks with the part of his anatomy that resided down south, or that his readers are gullible.

Lockhart was a Clinton White House official so he evidently picked up the habit of lying from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. On Wednesday, he concocted a conversation from his butt that he said took place between two Republican senators who claimed they were stunned about all the things they were learning during the President Trump Senate trial.

Lockhart tweeted: 

“Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. ‘is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we’re up shit’s creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence.[‘]”

Not long afterward Lockhart added a second tweet to his first tweet: 

“Ok maybe I made up the convo, but you know that’s exactly what they’re thinking.”

If anyone at Fox News, or any other right-wing media outfit tweeted crap like that, it would be all over the news and likely all over for the person who posted it.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Rapid Response Director Steve Guest also noted that self-described Washington Post “conservative blogger” Jennifer Rubin, who is really as conservative as Karl Marx, promoted Lockhart’s fabricated quote on her Twitter account.

Lockhart was mocked on Tuesday after he went after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for tweeting during the Senate impeachment trial.

Cruz tweeted: 

“NEWSFLASH for Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff: @realDonaldTrump invoking Constitutional privilege is not obstruction of Congress. If it were, nearly every president would have committed impeachable conduct.”

Lockhart responded:

“Senators on the floor are sworn to silence and have no electronic devices. So how is this Senator tweeting? Did he sneak a phone in. Is he willing to go to prison? Or is the tweet from someone other than Cruz. @jack you should investigate”

Numerous journalists and political officials responded to Lockhart by noting that Democrat Senators were doing the same thing as Cruz, proving Lockhart's [and CNN's] journalistic dishonesty

National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock responded to Lockhart by highlighting tweets from Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, who were also tweeting during the Senate trial.

Maybe one day Lockhart will remove his head from his cavernous nether regions, but that day has not yet arrived.
