CNN Political Analyst and former Clinton White House Press Secretary recently questioned if President Trump had a stroke and was hiding it from the American public.
“Did [President Trump] have a stroke which he is hiding from the American public,” tweeted Lockhart on Monday.
Trump replied to the rumor.
“It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate-FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!” Trump tweeted.
The Trump campaign also responded by issuing a statement that CNN should ax Lockhart:
CNN should fire Joe Lockhart, a lifetime failure who thought it was a great idea for fellow loser Michael Dukakis to put on that stupid helmet, for knowingly pushing a conspiracy theory about President Trump’s health.
Great political expert that he is, Lockhart single-handedly sank the John Kerry campaign and now he’s doing the same to Joe Biden from a distance.
If another CNN employee said similar things about Barack Obama they’d be fired immediately, so the same standard should be applied here. That is, of course, unless CNN is complicit in the smear campaign in order to level the playing field against Joe Biden, somebody who truly has lost a step.
Lockhart has a history of stirring up controversy with lies and half-truths on Twitter.
Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. "is this stuff real? I haven't heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we're up shit's creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence
— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) January 22, 2020
The tweet went viral with over 13,000 retweets and 45,000 likes before Lockhart admitted he made up the entire conversation.
He also recently attacked the Kentucky teen, Nicholas Sandmann, who won a $250 million dollar defamation lawsuit against the mainstream media as a “snot nosed entitled kid” as he participated in the Republican National Convention last week.
When cnn hires people does the job ad say..must lie, must have no morals and must be willing to do and say anything for money
Mud slingers are full of mud.
Those are known prerequisites just to apply for a job with CNN, and required characteristics to belong to the Democrat Party. Seriously, that is the only way one can explain what CNN and most all Democrats are known and proven to have done. Or that their just plain “EVIL” people, so you choose which you want to believe. Maybe it could be both?
It’s the “do”anything part they enjoy most.
They love to find unzipped.
You forgot Nazi ,Commie Libtard
If you have not figured out who the real enemy is here you are a lost cause, democrats and the media inciting for racial discord are the enemy here!!
that is the gospel truth
The problem that I see with what the mainstream media is doing by falsifying the protest reports is they are causing a dark cloud to fall upon all blacks when in reality its only a very few that are burning and looting and most of them are white trash that are causing all the trouble.
Hired white trash, by the DNC & Soros.
Not only white but all races
Hey Billy, there is only One Human Race – “male and female He Created them.” Nothing there about all the differences between individual people and groups. It’s Democrat Domestic Terrorists (DDT) who want to divide and destroy God’s Creation who invent this stuff.
Rev. You know that and I know that but since the vast majority of folks DO NOT know that, we have to speak in terms the majority understand. We can be technically correct but to what ends if virtually no one understands us.
cnn are nothing but soros FLUNKIES, none could even pass a GED test, cnn is diaherra crap
Roger, great comment.
Will somebody please shut this guy up….. in a jail cell preferably.
LIES are all the democommunists have. You would think after a while the people that believe this garbage would wise up at how disgusting and dishonest, and “power hungry” THEIR “Party” has become all because of their LUST for complete power and control, and stop casting their votes for them.
Keep voting democommunist fools, you will then remain their (as they say) “useful idiots” or controlled “drones” to be used, abused, taxed to death , or “elinminated” if ALL do not kowtow to every “royal decree” uttered by YOUR “masters”.
The only thing you overheard is a couple junkies at the bathhouse telling each other how stupid your are
Eric
Who are you replying to and who is calling who stupid? Your comment makes no sense
CNN has shown it’s bias many times over but still can’t get it into their heads that the populace is aware of what is happening in America and reacting accordingly!
As well, CNN, and our “friend” (not!) Hillary have been attempting to persuade the populace that pres. Trump has suffered a stroke! Needless to say, Hillary and CNN have overstepped their abiliy to speak accurately and are pushing this false news for all its worth — which is nothing at all, as the populace is smarter than Hillary and CNN!
One can’t throw mud, without getting mud all over oneself, I have been told. Mud slingers are full of that very manure they are spreading. The credibility of this quack of a “doctor”, more like a politican or that sham Chinese communist asset director of WHO, is now more than ever compromised. Jealousy of President Trump is so rampant. At zero wages, for President Trump this job is certainly not about the money. This commander and chief is unsafe at any speed working for the American people. May God bless President Trump. God bless the USA.
AMEN
[“That is, of course, unless CNN is complicit in the smear campaign in order to level the playing field against Joe Biden, somebody who truly has lost a step.”]
Joe Biden hasn’t “lost a step” mentally, mentally he’s lost the ability to walk!
I just hope Joe Biden survives to see the results of the election, seriously, he looks that bad.
After going to Pittsburg to give a twenty minute speech to an empty auditorium, he rushed home to rest-up for a week, before he would be allowed to do another public appearance.
I just wonder why the Biden campaign is allowed to call a short 20 minute speech in an empty auditorium, with no audience anywhere in sight, and just five news reporters in attendance, that were not allowed to ask any questions, a “PUBLIC APPEARANCE”?
The throwing mud opinion comment had to be approved and was hold. That’s why I stopped all these emails and all communications from this site. .
The reason for the trip to Walter Reed was another assassination attempt with poison, not disclosed to the public, according to one email I read at the time. Who knows the real reason?
Liars in the press say anything they want with out ant trouble
I do not approve of waiting for opinions to be approved. I will not accept that. I will not accept mailings from those who must approve comments. I am canceling mailings from you GATE WAY PUNDIT did this to me, I no longer support them or find anything from them credible as source. CANCELLED
COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK. What else would you expect?
Lies-lies and more lies
Whenever CNN does a smear story on anyone I just assume the opposite of what they are reporting is true and eventually 9 out of ten I’m proven right! These guys are pure sleaze and sewer scum.
This fool should have to spend time in jail for this. Of all the idiotic hateful garbage to spew to network.
Lockhart didn’t do either himself or the poplace any favours sby creating the lie that Pres. Trump had a stroke! I don’t know where Lockhart hoped to get by stating such an obvious lie and it’s now known by all how ridiculous it was to create such a nonsensical lie!
Their stupidness has no bounds.
Why should we expect fair and balanced reporting from the Commie News Network. the only network I have yet to find giving an honest no punches pulled report of Global Events is One America News. Soros and some of the other tyrannical globalists must be keeping C.N.N. afloat because reruns of 50’s and 60’s cartoons are out doing them in ratings.
It amazes me that people can’t see the amount of hatred in these liberals. They will say and do anything to keep God out of everything and they will say and do anything to be in power. I guess they just don’t understand that the rights they want or not just theirs every citizen have the same rights. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FIRE THEM SUE THEM AND TAKE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE AS PUNISHMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF CRAP. IF YOU LIE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING AND DOING WHAT THEY DID TO THAT KID WAS DOWN RIGHT NASTY.
Part of the CNN resume for a job, absolutely must be a good liar, cheat, crook, and reprehensible ahole.
I have cancelled all emails from you. You’ve already erased my reason for cancelling. Your site must approve opinions. Laws must be changed. This is boy for opinions. Count me out. TRUMP 2020
WHY is CNN allowed to exist as being an HONEST UNBIASED JOURNALISTIC NEWS NETWORK. Proved to be ‘FAKE NEWS’ !!! GRRRRRRRRRRR
Because the Democrats need some one to tell their lies over and over until they think they have left a message of untruth as the truth .
Has Lockhart ever admited he had a lobotomy?
Lockhart. The tail end of the media. Actually, what comes OUT of it. For proof: “The tweet went viral with over 13,000 retweets and 45,000 likes before Lockhart admitted he made up the entire conversation.”
Perhaps he could make some REAL news. And off himself. On Twitter. Live. Make that Facebook, which would be more enjoyable, but likely banned because minors might see it.
Shame. THAT would be something they SHOULD see.
When someone spews falsehoods over, and over, and over, and over, they eventually find themselves in a position where no one believes anything they say. That is the predicament in which CNN finds itself today.
Lockhart is a Moron he should be asking Biden if he had a massive stroke. Biden seems to be in a another World.
That’s why CNN ratings are so bad most Americans see the LIES and Fake News.
These people need to be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law instead of being covered by a umbrela law for reporters they have to held accountable for their lies
Yes, it’s about time that the Democrat Domestic Terrorist (DDT) party is hit with the appropriate law suits when they slander and defame people. Just because they are recognized as terrorists doesn’t mean they should get away with ruining people’s lives. Maybe “we” can even sue George Soros out of business so this hatred and vitriol will be exorcised from our great country.
SOMEBODY – JUST REMOVE THE ASS PERMANENTLY
I’d suggest to Joe Lockhart that he might want to invest in a set of hearing aids, and barring that, should he already have a pair, maybe turn up the volume. That way he might get his facts straight, particularly since he likes to listen in on other people’s conversations.
SOMEONE. “NEEDS” to get a King James Bible and READ! Isa 34:16 SEE that is the whole problem here, w/the turmoil and the troubles and killings and the riots etc etc This nation was a nation that was FOUNDED UPON THAT “BOOK”, the KJV Bible and was a “LIGHT” to the world at one time! Then this nation gave up that LIGHT and TRUTH, and has NOW gone reprobate! These TROUBLES etc are from GOD Almighty, sent as a “WARNING” to bring us back again! We see Amos 3:6/Job 37:13/Nahum 1:2-7KJV HISTORY PROVES what I say here! If people do NOT head these warnings, there will be MORE trouble and that to shall be more than people can imagine! THE VERY “BEST” Example I can give here, fits to a “TEE” and that too shall be fulfilled if this nation will not “REPENT!” Luke 13:3-5 KJV
Moderator: don’t you think, that in these DANGEROUS times and times where all could be lost because of the straying of this nation from it’s original precepts, DON’T you think some “PLAIN” PREACHING can bring people to their senses? I have said NOTHING to OFFEND anyone of anything other then those that “HATE GOD” and HIS Precepts found in The “BOOK” that formed this nation, and was its’ first book printed as a nation! I can see if I had singled out a particular race creed etc etc BUT I ONLY gave GOD’s Irrerant, INfalliable words of TRUTH! Why must I be moderated? Unless. maybe You are offended, and that was NOT my intention! Hebrews 4:12 KJV The word of GOD is “quick, and powerful,” and sharper then any twoedged sword,…
He better be careful, unhinged emotional outbursts like that could create a heart problem for him.
Democrats and their fake news are trying to make Trump look bad with fake health issues. Just a cover up for their village idiot Joe Biden who has one foot into assisted living with memory unit.
CNN is cesspool news station full of garbage stir on daily bases so it sting better.
You people think you’re all right Remember Michelle Your feelings Was hurt In the White House On believable
Socialism replaces human decensy.
What I want to know is who is giving Sleepy Joe all the money he receives?
