  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Zelensky met with Democrats before meeting with Trump.

Of course, we know that ABC has lied about Trump before and was sued my Trump and he won a large settlement from them.

However, the post I made said; "Before meeting President Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal that the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)."

Note, Sen Christ Murphy a democrat revealed this.

Thanks for sharing.
Be blessed.

Not saying it is a lie, but ABC has in fact been caught lying before and they didn't reveal who was at the meeting other than Graham. Plus,
there may have been another meeting which my post exposed.

What I posted, the article quoted Sen Christ Murphy a democrat. So are you saying he was lying?

No he was not lying, he was at that bi- partisan meeting.

No he was not lying, he was at that bi- partisan meeting.
But he only said "democrats." So, was it after the bipartisan meeting?

Zelensky's behavior with Trump and Vance sure looked like he was instructed
to no sign the agreement.

Chris Murphy didn't lie. The author of your NY Post piece made some deceptive comments which you then failed to correctly parse, leading to a misattribution on your part.

The Post author first says this:
Before meeting President Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal that the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).

then follows it with the actual quote from Murphy:
“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,”

Here's a direct link to the tweet if you're interested.

Notice how Murphy didn't says anything about "Democrats" - that was your Post author's creative editorializing.

The ABC article includes quotes from a couple different senators describing the meeting as "bipartisan", including one tweet from Amy Klobuchar that featured a photo of her with Zelensky, Lindsey Graham, and Chris Coons.

So, the article didn't quote Murphy directly, but stated it was according to him.

"Before meeting President Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal that the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)."

My quotation remarks were only to point out that it was from the article, not from me.

No, as I’ve already pointed out, the article did quote Murphy, however, the quote didn’t support the author’s description, and you incorrectly interpreted the description as a direct quote.

Arguing about whether or not Murphy lied is an odd way to make that point.

Either way, nobody said the quote was from you. Your OP didn’t even include any comments of yours - all you posted was a link.

I'm not saying Murphy lied, not sure where you got that. Posting the link is required in this forum.

Sorry it upsets you! :D
