    No, sorry. “It’s my opinion” is not an excuse. If I tweet my “opinion” that the sun is a ball of flaming Chee-tos would I not sound like a fool? Just because something is your opinion does not excuse you from the need to ground it in facts. https://twitter.com/joecarter7890/status/1017474863592890368 …

        .@LeonardPittsJr1 said to read the stats on job creation. You instead cited stats on black unemployment. 😕 ???

        I pretty sure the notion that “opinions are based in fact” is taught in elementary school. #imo 😬

        Since the onset of Faux News, people honestly do not understand the difference between "fact" and "opinion." This is not an excuse (or an opinion...); it's just a fact.
