“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a week attempt at distraction,” read the statement attributed to Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for Obama. “Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”
Weak* attempt at distraction
Oh wow. The typo is in the Mediate article. Sorry for doubting you, OP.
This article correctly uses “weak”. I have to imagine the error was Mediate’s part and not present in the original statement Obama’s office made.
thanks, a.i.-bama
It’s like they’d deliberately need to mess it up,
That or they’re transcribing from a secondary source, but why the heck do that when the original source is available?
To know whom it was copied from. It’s like when the TA finds the same mistakes in every student’s assignment they are grading.
Well, it has been about a week of active distractions
I’m disappointed they didn’t misuse weak in the next sentence when talking about the previous week
