    More RNC bait-and-switch shenanigans:

    "Three NYC public housing tenants said they were tricked into appearing in a Republican National Convention video. Lynne Patton, a HUD official, interviewed them for the video, which they thought would be used to highlight issues in public housing."

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/28/nyregion/nyc-tenants-rnc-video-trump.html

    “I am not a Trump supporter,” one of the tenants said, adding that she was furious that her interview with a government official was used for the convention.

    Will be interesting to see the whole story come out. These days it pays to wait a little bit.

      ATTA BOY, AX!!!!
      Man, you're changing the forum, country and world like a Superman!
      Everything you copy/paste turns into like, a combination of Aristotle and Shakespeare. It's so like, deep-like and ULTRA convincing. And you do all that without even having to think. Amazing!

      Good job, as always. I'm definitely voting for Biden. All because of you, bud.

        Or maybe....The women caught so much hell from their neighbors - not that TDS folks would do that - they decided to tell a little lie for their own safety...

          There you go again trusting politicians more than you trust regular people.

            Trust, but verify.

            A politician once said that. A wiser one than most.

                  I'm going to wait for the New York Times' retraction.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      I guess Ax has moved on just like the NYT. He has offered no retort and no capitulation.

                        I guess Ax has moved on just like the NYT. He has offered no retort and no capitulation.

                        The retort is as follow:

                        • Suppose you go by the Lynn Patton tweet you linked to, it shows a CNN person's email saying three named people "knew the video was going to be used for the RNC." When did they know? Did they know before they were recorded or after? If they know only after they were recorded, then there is no inconsistency with the NYTimes report. Furthermore, the CNN person's email also says the three named people asked the video to be cut -- it is not literally clear what "cut" might mean in this email, but it would be reasonable to guess that by "cut" they mean they do not want the video shown, which again would be consistent with NYTimes quoting one of the recorded tenant as unsupportive of Trump and furious about not wanting the video to be shown in the RNC.
                        • Look also at Lynn Patton's question: "Do you honestly think @WeRJamestown would film 4 civilians WITHOUT also telling them it’s for the #RNC & getting waivers from each resident" (note that so far there is no evidence provided to show what the waivers say or that the waivers even exist), ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf's claim that he did not know a video in which he participated in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast during the Republican National Convention?
