Wednesday afternoon, CNN Political Analyst and former Clinton White House Press Secretary, Joe Lockhart, tweeted a made up story about Republican Senators “who only watch Fox News” saying that if what Schiff is saying is true, they’re up a creek.

Except no one said that…

Just relax, y’all. Was just satire, mmkay?

Naturally, it’s all the right wingers who don’t get it. ?

Totally unbiased commentary and analysis. He may as well make out with Schiff.

Lockhart manned the White House Comms when Slick Willy was impeached, so it’s not a stretch to understand his emotional involvement this time around. That said, it’s wholly unprofessional. If that even matters anymore.

This is absolutely no excuse for this. No excuse for tweeting it, no excuse for leaving it up. How are we journalists supposed to effectively counter Trump admin misinformation if this is what anti-Trump CNN pundits are doing? The addiction to retweets breaks some folks' brains. pic.twitter.com/4zksQFq6Lo — (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) January 22, 2020
