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.
