The week in whoppers: Sen. Murphy scapegoats Israel, Mamdani’s wife’s ‘private’ hate and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

“Israel made us do it.” — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Wednesday

We say: A country the size of New Jersey didn’t “make” the world’s superpower do anything.

Murphy cited a comment by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that had already been clarified — and proceeded to play off an ugly narrative of insidious Jewish control that is cheap and unseemly.

Enough with Mamdani’s ‘mystery math’ budget games

“My wife is the love of my life and she’s also a private person.” — Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Friday

We say: Aw, so sweet! But it doesn’t explain why Rama Duwaji “liked” dozens of Instagram posts celebrating the Oct. 7 massacre and calling Hamas’ mass rape of Israeli civilians a “hoax.”

She won’t say if she still believes that, and he says it’s none of his (or presumably our) business.

Funny:  For a “private person,” she sure appears on a lot of magazine covers. 

“Totally vague.” — Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Saturday

We say: Schiff thought he was dumping on a Trump quote on war with Iran, but Bill Maher had read him Barack Obama’s garbled justification for invading Libya.

Schiff stumbled into more garble, but Maher’s point stands: Democrats’ posturing on “illegal” military action is incoherent and hypocritical.

“Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.” — CNN, Sunday

We say: What a weird way to report that two ISIS-inspired Islamists tried to slaughter anti-Islam protesters.

CNN took down that tweet and rewrote the story that started that way — but it keeps having to retract other false reports on the attack. Does it think its audience just can’t handle the truth?
