Who's Lying: Rep. Carson or Rep. Cleaver?

We all know the story by now. Rep. Andre Carson (D-In) says that he and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga) were assaulted with racial slurs by Tea Party protesters as they walked down the step of the Cannon office building and headed to the Capitol on March 20th. McClatchy News reported that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) also told reporters that he heard the N-word as he was walking a few yards behind Rep. Lewis. It was like a chorus, Rep. Cleaver said.

Only problem is: Rep. Cleaver wasnt there. He didn't walk behind Rep. Lewis coming down the steps of Cannon on the way to the Capitol. He walked behind Rep. Lewis coming UP the steps of Cannon on the way BACK from the Capitol.



Of course, Rep. Cleaver and Rep. Carson could claim that racial slurs were screamed both times by the Tea Party protesters. If thats the case, then they have contradicted their own narrative from two weeks ago when the AP ran a story with the headline:

Wrong video of health protest spurs N-word feud

The entire thesis of that story was that the dumb, right-wing wackos were looking at the wrong video at the wrong time to show that racial slurs didnt happen. Wed been looking at a video showing the Congressional Black Caucus walking up the steps of Cannon returning from the Capitol. But the racial slurs were shouted earlier in the day while Rep. Carson and Rep. Lewis were walking to the Capitol.

If last months narrative was that there were no racial slurs shouted on the way up the steps of Cannon, then how did Rep. Cleaver hear a chorus of the N-word?

It seems McClatchy has only one question left to ask: Whos lying, Rep. Carson or Rep. Cleaver? Or both?

This is a good reason to bring a camera to a tea party rally.

@darrenmuse Keep up the lies. It will backfire in your face so bad you won't now what happened. Nobody got spit on & nobody yelled the "N" word. Gee, 50+ camera's yet not ONE caught it on film or audio?? You fucking fraud!

[darrenmuse]

Interesting that you cut the part where Congressman Cleaver was spit upon @ 2:46.

You can see on hand from the shadows, that it is actually even later in the day than the first video you showed, so additional hours after the alleged event took place. This video is simply further right wing disinformation.
