Yes, I was questioning whether her post was legitmate, and expressed doubt that she knew what she was talking about with respect to Martin. You, on the other hand, claimed she meant "Senate Minority Leader" when she wrote DNC chair and then did not respond that Schumer was who she meant to refer to. You made stuff up. I didn't. Therefore, you were indulging in alternative facts and I wasn't. Is that clear enough, or do you want me to write it out in crayon and send you a picture?
