He did it. The doggone son of a gun did it. Philip Bump fact-checked the poop map used by Ron DeSantis in his debate against Gavin Newsom.
As Twitchy readers know, the Florida politician used the fecal figure to dump on conditions in the Golden Gate City under the steaming pile that has been Newsom's leadership.
About the 💩 map. https://t.co/7BthOkSRyx pic.twitter.com/YL1UUDQzUf

To be clear, nobody who saw DeSantis's image of browntown San Francisco believed the entire city was entirely encased in a brown sheath of bygone Thanksgiving food kitchen dinners.
The point was clear: There is an excrement excess in the Californian city, and it's not exactly a secret. Newsom bears some responsibility for that.
Hahahaha, he’s fact checking the poop map https://t.co/1aU4rL15zo

Democracy dies in the dungheap, or something.
This is supposed to be a defense of San Francisco.

They went with “the poop marks aren’t actually that big!” https://t.co/c826PNxU4H
Seriously, that was the gist of the WaPo Bump dump.
According to Bump:
That is not what the actual map looks like, though. What’s above is an image pretty clearly meant to heighten the sense that San Francisco is buried under mounds of excrement which, multiple people (and this webcam) can attest, is not the case.
Guys … he linked out to a webcam image that consists mostly of a rooftop and the San Francisco Bay.
'Look, folks! No poop!'
I’d say one human poop on the street is too much human poop on the street. https://t.co/ZlyDzlE60u

This isn't the first … uh … journalistic vowel movement … from Philip Bump that has generated such a response. It won't be the last.
Closed replies because Phil likes poop sidewalks. https://t.co/CTwgkmQFgL

This is what he does now, and then he locks replies so nobody can respond because 'democracy' or something.
Are you kidding right now?

Dude. They have a poop map and a poop app.
That is NOT normal. https://t.co/dHRW79sVtE

Bwahaha!
The appropriate response should have been “no one should be taking a dump on the sidewalk.” https://t.co/C5m8C4IuPS
— Long Monkeypox (@podiatristdon) December 2, 2023
Right?! In the universe of possible responses to this caca catastrophe, taking a deep dive into the size of the map's stool samples would not be our first choice. Honestly, it wouldn't even be … number two.
You're welcome.
Go with “there’s really not that much 💩 on the streets” Democrats.

So close, Steeze. So close.
The @WashingtonPost is so in the tank for the Democrats it now has its fact checker fact checking excrement. You just cannot make this stuff up. https://t.co/W2XtymcBBA

Live shot of Philip Bump approaching this fact-check.
More Bump:
You’ll notice an important bit of data that DeSantis didn’t mention: it shows human waste reported from 2011 to 2019 — a span of nine years.
Great point, Phil. The dookie deluge has had an additional four years to pile up under Newsom's reign.
Uh, this isn’t helping your buddy Gavin, Phil.
— Jeremy Redfern (@JeremyRedfernFL) December 2, 2023
Just look at poor Market St. It’s overflowing. 😭💩
Thanks for highlighting the insane amount of poop on the Poop Map, tho. https://t.co/RMzThiaFdW pic.twitter.com/snJpKGxnwW
This is where we are. The Washington Post has been reduced to sh**posting for Democrats. Keep wiping up after them, guys. It ain't helping.
