National Security Advisor Mike Waltz went on Fox News on Tuesday after he was at the epicenter of an embarrassing accidental leak to Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic.
“How did a Trump-hating editor of The Atlantic end up on your Signal chat?” Laura Ingraham asked.
“You know, Laura, I’m not a conspiracy theorist,” Waltz replied. “But of all the people out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the president, who has lied to Gold Star families, lied to their attorneys, and gone to Russia hoax, gone to all kinds of lengths to lie and smear the president of the United States and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then gets sucked into this group.”
Honestly, I really hope that the next administration, regardless of which party it is, dispenses with the constant and unending stream of bullshit. I really don’t want this sort of thing to become established as the new normal.
It’s not even over a significant issue here; it seems like an insane thing to use credibility on. Like, Waltz could say “I clicked on the wrong person”, and I don’t think that anyone is going to wig out about it. The fact that they were on Signal in the first place, not to mention using poor operational security while on it is the much more concerning issue, but he’s not denying that.
Unfortunately the people he is trying to convince are too stupid to think critically or even think logically about the root cause of the issue. He can mask his own incompetence through personal attacks and the idiotic brain-washed base will eat it up, one clip at a time.

The firehose of horseshit has been a hallmark of conservatives everywhere for like 2 decades. It’s already their normal.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
