This is so damn weird I can't even make a snarky headline about it. (www.mediaite.com)

I know Mediaite sucks, but they do such a good job tracking the weird shit these people say lately.

BOBBY MCNEILY: But what, that, really courage under fire. We’ve got two iconic photos now. President Trump, the the arrest photo, the mug shot that I have, a T-shirt of that.

And now you have the iconic fight, fight, fight. And that fist pump in the air, covered in blood.

The interesting thing about that, too, a lot of biblical prowess for it, because in the Levitical priesthood in the Old Testament, the, blood to be set apart, to share not only the gospel, the, Word of God at the time, but Aaron and his sons were anointed with the blood of the lamb or a pig. The sacrifice on the right ear. Usually the right thumb or right middle finger, and then the right large toe to go out, to be set apart, to share God’s story and his word.

"That gave me goosebumps to hear that, because I wasn't aware of that before the assassination attempt." Whenever something happens, propagandists do a CTRL+F on the bible to find tenuous connections. Also, it was the blood of a ram, not a lamb or a pig. Pigs are considered unclean animals in the Levitical law, so they would never be used in a ritual. They can't even keep their own bullshit straight, I swear.

Also known as post hoc ergo propter hoc. It's an extremely common logical fallacy, unfortunately.

There's also arguably some Texas sharpshooter fallacy going on too.

A ram and a lamb are both just sheep, right? A ram is an adult male sheel and a lamb is a juvenile sheep of either sex.
