Fake News Is Exposed By Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes 8/21/19
Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes (Conn.) pushed back on news stories
with "exaggerated headlines," saying reports she said she's received
racist threats since taking office are not true.
Reporters for "driving this narrative that I am using race as a dividing card," in a statement Sunday, in response to two recent headlines.
Hayes called outThe Connecticut Mirror that said "Hayes has 'heightened sense' about security concerns," and a Republican American headline that said "U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes claims to have received racist communications since taking office."
"I am appalled at the continuous attempts by journalists to drive
this narrative that I am using race as a dividing card. This is
clickbait journalism at its very worst - in order to drive clicks and
boost advertising, these outlets are making reckless assumptions without
thought for the consequences,"
Hayes said. "To be clear: while my
office, like all congressional offices, has received the occasional
harassing email or phone call, I have not been directly threatened."
"In fact, when asked directly by one reporter if any threats had been
received, I responded, 'No, I have not received any direct threats.'
The reporter then repeated and confirmed that statement in the recap of
our conversation," Hayes said.
"In the second interview, I stated
repeatedly that this discussion of security threats was taken out of
context, which is not reflected in the article."
"Journalists have an important role to play in our public
discourse, however, they must also be cognizant of their responsibility
to the truth," Hayes said. "As the wife of a police officer, I am deeply
aware of how much it corrodes our public safety when false allegations
are bandied about. Going forward, I hope and pray that members of the
press will strive harder to be fair and accurate, rather than focusing
on clickbait."
Editor Note:
Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes was misquoted by 2 FAKE NEWS outlets.
"In fact, when asked directly by one reporter if any threats had been
received, I responded, 'No, I have not received any direct threats.' The
reporter then repeated and confirmed that statement in the recap of our
conversation," Hayes said.
Later after the FAKE news outlets were exposed by the black Conn Congress Woman they denied they lied.
Connecticut Mirror executive editor Elizabeth Hamilton told The Hill "we stand by our story."
FAKE News outlets will publish FAKE news even especially if a congressman or woman etc does not give them the politically correct answer they are looking for.
Everyday FAKE news publishes quotes from President Trump that are not his quotes.
FAKE news changes what President Trump says to push the insane radical liberal agenda.
Many people believe the FAKE news as real news.
Don't listen to cnn, msnbc, public television news etc because they slant the truth or just flat out lie about quotes etc.
