>>JENNA FISCHER, OF COURSE, A WELL-KNOWN ACTRESS, PLAYED ON
THE OFFICE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND SHE TWEETED RIGHT
AFTER THE TAX BILL PASSED ABOUT A PROVISION IN THERE THAT WAS
REALLY TROUBLING.
SHE SAID --
>>NOW, THAT IS SLIGHTLY INCORRECT.
WHY IS THAT?
THAT
PROVISION WAS IN THE HOUSE VERSION OF THE BILL, THEY SAID
YOU CAN GET A DEDUCTION UP TO $250, IF OUT-OF-POCKET YOU ARE
BUYING SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR THE KIDS YOU TEACH, THE SCHOOL
SHOULD BE BUYING THE SUPPLIES, BUT TEACHERS OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF THEIR HEART WOULD BUY SUPPLIES SOMETIMES AND GET TO
DEDUCT A TINY AMOUNT, AND IN THE ORIGINAL HOUSE VERSION THERE WAS
STILL A DEDUCTION FOR PRIVATE JETS, WHICH SURVIVED TO THE
FINAL BILL -- SO IN THE BEGINNING THEY ARE LIKE LET'S
PUNISH THE SCHOOLTEACHERS TRYING TO HELP THEIR KIDS BUT LET'S
MAKE SURE PEOPLE WITH PRIVATE JETS GET RICHER.
NOW, THEY GOT
CAUGHT WITH THEIR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR, REPUBLICANS DID, SO
WHEN THERE WAS A HUGE UPROAR OVER THAT THEY ARE LIKE, FINE,
WE WILL TAKE IT OUT.
SO IT WASN'T IN THE FINAL BILL, SO
THAT'S WHY JENNA FISCHER WAS WRONG IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT
AFTER THE BILL HAD PASSED, BECAUSE THAT VERSION OF THE
BUILD AND HAVE IT.
BUT IT WAS PEOPLE LIKE HER WHO HAD BROUGHT
UP THAT ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THAT GOT THEM TO WITHDRAW
IT.
IF THERE WAS NO SPOTLIGHT ON IT THEY WOULD'VE KEPT IT IN.
SO
PEOPLE JUMPED ALL OVER HER, AND I SAY PEOPLE, BUT IT'S ALL THE
RIGHT WING TROLLS ONLINE WHO TAKE TINY LITTLE ISSUES -- NO,
NO, THAT WAS IN THE HOUSE BILL, WE WANTED TO DO IT, WE WANTED TO
CRUSH THE TEACHERS BUT WE GOT CAUGHT PUBLICLY SO WE TOOK IT
OUT, YOU'RE WRONG, THEY MAKE A HUGE BIG STINK UNTIL SHE HAS TO
ISSUE A GIGANTIC APOLOGY.
SHE SAYS --
>>WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BECAUSE SHE'S NOT INVOLVED IN
POLITICS, SHE'S JUST AN AMERICAN WHO CARES, AND WHEN SHE SAW THAT
PROVISION IN THERE, WHICH WAS IN THE HOUSE BILL, SHE WAS
JUSTIFIABLY OUTRAGED.
BY THE WAY SHOULD SHE CORRECT IT?
OF COURSE
SHE SHOULD, BUT THAT'S NOT AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD, BECAUSE
PROGRESSIVES ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO DO FAKE NEWS, WHO
DON'T WANT TO MISINFORM YOU, THEY CARE ABOUT THE FACTS.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LIKE JENNA FISCHER APOLOGIZE.
BUT THE OTHER
SIDE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN, I'LL GET
TO THEM IN A SECOND,
BUT SHE GOES ON --
>>IT'S A WONDERFUL, PROBABLY FAR TOO MUCH APOLOGY, AND FACT I
KNOW IT'S TOO MUCH, BUT I'M GLAD SHE CORRECTED IT, EVERYBODY WHO
IS RATIONAL IS GLAD SHE CORRECTED IT.
IN ANOTHER
STATEMENT ON TWITTER, SHE SAYS I'VE DELETED A TWEET AND WOULD
LIKE TO ISSUE AN APOLOGY.
PLEASE READ AND RETWEET TO HELP ME
SPREAD THE WORD.
THANKS!
YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP RETWEETING.
HERE'S THE LONGER VERSION, IT'S APOLOGY ON TOP OF APOLOGY.
SO IF
THE PLAYING FIELD WAS EVEN, I'D SAY OKAY, GREAT, WONDERFUL, WE
CORRECTED SOMETHING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT OVER THE TOP FOR
A TINY, MINUSCULE, MICROSCOPIC MISTAKES, BUT GOD BLESS YOUR
HEART FOR BEING A GOOD PERSON AND DOING THAT.
BUT THE PLAYING
FIELD IS NOT EVEN, REPUBLICANS LIE ABOUT THE HEART OF THE BILL
ALL THE TIME.
THEY DO IT REGULARLY, THAT'S THEIR COURSE
OF BUSINESS.
HAS TRUMP EVER ISSUED AN APOLOGY FOR ALL THE
THINGS HE ACTIVELY LIED ABOUT IN THE BILL?
AGAIN THIS GOES TO THE
CORE OF THE BILL BUT I CAN GIVE YOU A THOUSAND EXAMPLES OF THIS.
HE SAID AT ONE POINT --
>>THE RICH WILL NOT BE GAINING AT ALL, HE SAID, WITH THIS PLAN.
IT'S A MONSTROUS LIE.
IN FACT, HE LAUGHED ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS.
AS CBS NEWS REPORTED --
>>ALL THOSE PEOPLE HAD TO PAY AT LEAST A $200,000 INITIATION
FEE, THEY WERE ALREADY FABULOUSLY RICH AND NOW THEY ARE
LAUGHING AT YOU THAT THEY JUST GOT WAY RICHER.
IN FACT OUTPUT
EXACT NUMBERS ON IT, ACCORDING TO THE NONPARTISAN TAX POLICY
CENTER --
>>SO 83% OF THE MONEY GOES TO
THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE
COUNTRY.
HAS DONALD TRUMP EVER APOLOGIZED?
HAS HE EVER DELETED
A TWEET?
HAS HE EVER DONE GIGANTIC, LONG APOLOGIES FOR
GETTING THINGS WRONG?
SHE GOT A TINY, $250 DEDUCTION WRONG, AND
ONLY BASED ON THE TIMING, IT WAS IN AN EARLIER VERSION.
GIANT
APOLOGY.
THE OTHER SIDE, ALL YEAH, THE RICH WON'T GAIN A
PENNY.
JUST KIDDING, THEY ARE GETTING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
BUT WE'LL NEVER APOLOGIZED AND NEVER CORRECTED, AND WHAT
DISGUSTS ME IS IN THE MEDIA, IT'S ALWAYS 50-50.
I KNOW THEY
ARE BETTER ABOUT KEEPING TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS I
CAN'T TELL, JENNA FISCHER MADE A BIG MISTAKE -- HOW ABOUT EVERY
REPUBLICAN, NOT JUST TRUMP, EVERY REPUBLICAN SENATOR,
CONGRESSMAN, EVERY REPUBLICAN PUNDIT, WHO LIED ABOUT THIS BILL
AND SAID THE RICH WOULDN'T GET RICHER?
HOW ABOUT TRUMP DURING
THE CAMPAIGN SAYING HE WOULD TAKE AWAY A LOOPHOLE FROM THE
HEDGE FUND GUYS?
HE DIDN'T, HE KEPT IT IN.
NOT A TINY LITTLE
MISTAKE, A PURPOSEFUL, GIGANTIC LIE.
LIE AFTER LIE.
AND THERE'S
NEVER ANY APOLOGIES, THERE'S NEVER ANY CORRECTIONS, BECAUSE
IN THIS COUNTRY WE ARE NOT HAVING A DEBATE ABOUT POLICY
DIFFERENCES, WE'RE HAVING A DEBATE ABOUT DIFFERENT
REALITIES.
ONE SIDE TRIES TO KEEP TO THE FACTS AND IS
RELIGIOUS ABOUT IT, AND IS VIGILANT IN POLICING TINY LITTLE
ERRORS.
THE OTHER SIDE DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT REALITY.
ALL
THEY CARE ABOUT IS HOW DO I LIE, HOW DO I DO PROPAGANDA AND FORCE
IT DOWN PEOPLE'S THROATS AND NEVER EVER FIX IT.
WE SHOULD BE
PAST THE TIME OF TRYING TO CALL THESE THINGS EVEN, THEY AREN'T
EVEN.
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO CRITICIZE JENNA FISCHER YOU
SHOULD DO IT A THOUSAND TIMES MORE, A MILLION TIMES MORE, TO
EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN WHO VOTED FOR THAT MONSTROUS TAX
BILL.
