Earlier today President Trump tweeted a funny meme of the Hero canine from the Baghdadi raid getting a medal featuring a dog paw:
Cute and funny right?
Not so fast…
Unfortunately, highlighting the absolute jaw-dropping level of media nuttery, the White House reporters actually lost their minds about it; called the White House, demanded explanations, wrote articles about it not being real; and generally went bananas.
No, seriously; they did. Look:

I’ve requested details from the @WhiteHouse on this photo.
There was no such canine event on today’s @POTUS schedule but there is a Medal of Honor ceremony set here for later today for an active duty Green Beret. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1189601417469841409 …Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

These journalists are nuts.
Moonbats.
All of them.
Good grief, everyone knew it was just a silly and cute picture about a hero canine who was wounded in the successful raid on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Everyone with a normal and stable-minded constitution that is.
Bizarre.
Doggo-gate or something similarly impeachable…. gottabe.
