Former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart, a CNN analyst, apologized for making up a story about two Republican senators discussing the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump.
Lockhart posted a fictional story on social media on Jan. 22 that included no disclaimer. The news analyst claimed that he overheard a conversation between two GOP 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 [expletive] creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence,” Lockhart tweeted.
After the post circulated widely on Twitter, Lockhart said that he might have made up the conversation.
“Ok maybe I made up the convo, But you know that’s exactly what they’re thinking,” he said, defending himself. “Everyone relax,” he said in another post. “This is satire. Satire to make the point that Senators that are deciding the President’s fate who only watch Fox News have never heard this stuff before. Because Fox is part of the coverup.”

“‘Is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about AN INNOCENT SLEEPOVER WITH YOUNG BOYS. If half the stuff LEONARD F MASON is saying is true, JOE LOCKHARDT is up [expletive] creek. Hope that CNN has exculpatory evidence that JOE didn’t MOLEST and RAPE those boys,”
Relax Joe. It’s my attempt at SATIRE.
Only when they have been caught red-handed, do they say that they were just kidding. Come to think of it, it may be the best shot they have, being morally bankrupt and all.
Lol, no you didnt. After reading your post it occurred to me that the only TRUE satire was his apology.
But no, no sarc tag needed..
Amazing how he can read minds.
Joe Lockhart is the rascal who sold his Kalorama dwelling to Zero and Big Mike.
Keeping it in the family.
News flash: Professional Liar Lies on Fake News Network
That’s fine. Now when will he apologize for all the thousands of similar lies he told as Clinton’s press secretary?
Given the last decade or so, I have never seen sooooooooooooooooooooo many utter and blatant lies and untruths being spewed by the libtard progressives than I have in the past three years. Unfrakin’ real.....and then not even being held accountable, double unfrakin’ real!!
All they do is lie,lie and lie. Then steal peoples’ money.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS LYING DESTROYERS of GOOD PEOPLE!
So, a writer of fiction and a mind reader too. What can't these media pundits do?
If he had an ethical employer, Lockhart would be fired.
Too little, too late. He's unfit even for what passes for journalism, and must be fired and blackballed.
Goodness! You watch the Colbert show?
I don’t.
I saw several clips from that appearance on the news and on youtube though.
I thought it was kind of interesting to hear the audience try and laugh with or at this man, who is not funny at all, and Colbert trying to act like they are buds and Adam is cool and fun to hang out with.
Dude is a frickin’ alien!
a “parody”?
Ahhhh, that makes perfect sense!
