The lows just keep getting lower for “lean forward” MSNBC.
As Twitchy reported, the idiots at Vox claimed that Hong Kong protesters were standing in solidarity with Ferguson. By putting their hands up. It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t, you know, Vox.
Epic mockery ensued, including a mock-tastic photo-filled hashtag. A WaPo reporter humiliated himself by defending Vox’s moronic lie.
VOX: Clickbait For Stupid People. http://t.co/jTk79FEERG. Sadly, it works. smh

Pitiful.
@msnbc This is truly pathetic, and yet a predictable angle for you. Wow.

Yep. Truth? Whatever! MSNBC has false narratives to push!
@msnbc You are the lowest of the low.

Except that those protesters in the picture said they didn't even know about Ferguson. https://t.co/ZfH31XaUZC @msnbc

But wait! Another stupid thing enters the mix: Take it away, always befuddled Donna Brazile!
Hong Kong's protesters are using the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture from Ferguson, Missouri. #handsupdontshoot. http://t.co/TtUGvZcIGY

Snicker.
On the plus side?

So there’s that!
Update: An exit question for Ms. Brazile:
