Stupid Right-Wing Tweets, Ron Fournier Edition

By Karoli Kuns — November 30, 2015

To borrow from Charlie Pierce, this kind of tweet is The Thing That Makes Me Want To Guzzle Antifreeze.

Correct: Planned Parenthood is legally selling baby parts. https://t.co/MekQbZzoTT

After Friday's shootings in Colorado, you'd think perhaps a journalist would be interested in the truth, but Ron Fournier made an exception with that little golden tweet.

In fact, I've saved a screenshot of it in case even he realizes saying what he did makes him too stupid to breathe the air of ordinary people.

Planned Parenthood never, ever "sold baby parts." Informed people know this. The people who claim to be journalists ought to know it too.

David Corn tried to give him a clue, but Fournier was having none of it.

@ron_fournier If I ask you to send me a stack of your previous clips & you say, sure if you pay for postage/tranpsortation, are you selling?

@DavidCornDC Yes

@ron_fournier Then I want you to sell me a house. I'd be happy just to have to cover the transaction costs.

@DavidCornDC Let's quibble over the price some more before I sell.

Fournier should just delete his Twitter now.
