Same place he gets all his "facts". Just before he uses toilet paper to get the last few.

I agree, even if you're a AOC fan/supporter, you have to admit that's pretty funny!

Who thought it was real? lol Some of the loons on the left. They think big government works and that health care is a right so of course they'd think it was real.

Wait, does this mean that Sean Connery wasn't really on Celebrity Jeopardy a number of years ago? I wonder if Snopes checked that.

Look, Snopes has likely made errors with fact-checking. However, I would say they are 1 of the better fact-checking sites. Now, if they are any cases of the off-chance they deliberately mislead their viewers on a story, that could really have people question Snopes overall.

Yep. My conservative family members have emailed me "articles" from satire sites. Sadly, it IS necessary for Snopes and other factcheckers to fact-check satire because people believe that these things are true. And you wonder how Trump got elected... half the population has no clue how to fact-check anything and assumes that if it's on the Internet or in an email, it must be true.

I mean, scroll through the posts here. You'll see a bunch of them based on stories that are obviously not true. Critical thinking skills are lacking, in general.

That's like the twitter account Sean Spicier that was trolling LeftWads that actually thought he was Sean Spicer. Leftists believe anything they are told too.
