NeverTrump Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) fell victim to internet pranksters over the weekend, retweeting the viral hoax that the “Ghost of Kyiv,” an alleged Ukrainian fighter ace, was a man called “Samuyil Hyde.” Tricksters are quick to spread memes naming American comedian Sam Hyde as the culprit in media events such as mass shootings. In this case, Rep. Kinzinger fell for a poor photoshop of Hyde into a cockpit along with an ethnic spin on his name.

We knew Kinzinger was no brain surgeon, nor a rocket scientist.

Seems this isn't the only propaganda he fell for. No wonder he was so easily manipulated by the left.

Would have fallen for it if someone said the pilot was Stephan Hawkyn?

Shooting down 5 fighter jets in one day? Easy to do when all of the combat was inside a video game. When clips from a video game become "live news reports", you know that you should never believe anything these people say or show you. Reporters don't need to go to the combat zone these days, they can stay in their LA apartment and crank out live reports without ever leaving. Between this and four year old video pretending to be current news, the media have sunk to new levels of incompetence and fakery.
