    It was the same with Iraq War criticism. If you criticized the war, you weren’t supporting the troops.https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/829411942322155520 …

        That strategy was devastatingly effective in 2004. Let's all hope we're smarter this time around.

        Typical GOP: Make absurd, base-pleasing claim and leave it up to political opposition to explain why it's wrong.

        @BraddJaffy what journalists should be most concerned with, Spicer offers nothing substantive to back up his claims. Just rhetoric.
