Some people never learn.

As Twitchy told you, New York Times op-ed contributor Wajahat Ali thought it would be a good idea to push an easily debunked lie about Dan Crenshaw — and question his patriotism for good measure:

After Crenshaw thoroughly chewed Ali up and spit him out:

Hey “journalist,” maybe you should check your facts. I am a co-sponsor. Nice try though. Also, “patriotism”: https://t.co/3jSAFc5prw pic.twitter.com/1GURun1cr4 — Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) June 11, 2019

Ali deleted his original tweet, replacing it with a half-assed apology:

I deleted this b/c Dan Crenshaw supported the Fund in May after being a holdout. Apologies to him for the tweet. I have no problem admitting it & correcting the record with facts. For those trying to "own" me, especially as you still promote "alternative facts," enjoy Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/njJ9fcNKZK — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) June 11, 2019

Don’t worry, Wajahat. We’re enjoying our Tuesday plenty. Because you’ve given us the immense satisfaction that comes with watching you double down on your ignorance and hackery:

Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you did and I have no problem correcting and updating the record with facts. Now try it with your comments about Ilhan Omar. You'll feel better. Sincerely, a fellow patriot. https://t.co/6bAsYBpxsY — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) June 11, 2019

Which comments would those be? The ones where Crenshaw accurately quoted Ilhan Omar and rightly called her out over her despicable remarks about the 9/11 terrorists?

The correct response there is "I'm sorry" — Joseph Backholm (@josephbackholm) June 11, 2019

Ali’s not sorry for what he said; he’s only sorry he got caught.

An apology with a lecture isn't an apology. In this case, it's shameful. — Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) June 11, 2019

Nice non-apology. Enjoy the ratio. — Tommy Hackenbruck (@TommyHacksaw) June 11, 2019

Apparently Ali was sick on the day his J-school professor taught the art of quitting while you’re behind.

Hey, the world can always use more gravediggers.
