Wow! ABC News is trying to pass gun range videos as combat footage from Syria pic.twitter.com/zfTWtwwSfZ — Wojciech Pawelczyk (@Woj_Pawelczyk) October 14, 2019 Here is the 2016 Knob Creek video which was uploaded in 2017. It sure looks like the same video, right down to the formation of the little white lights in the foreground, which are the cell phones of the people watching the shoot. You can see them clearly in the video. It’s possible this video was included by mistake, but knowing how the mainstream media operates, I doubt that very much.

CORRECTION: We’ve taken down video that aired on “World News Tonight" Sunday and “Good Morning America” this morning that appeared to be from the Syrian border immediately after questions were raised about its accuracy. ABC News regrets the error. — Good Morning America (@GMA) October 14, 2019 Share Post Writer at RedState MBA, former financial consultant, options trader Mom of three grown children, grandmother Email Elizabeth at [email protected] Read more by Elizabeth Stauffer Recommended The Optics Go From Bad to Worse at Wax Statue Biden's Tone-Deaf 'Grassroots' NY Fundraiser Bonchie New Poll Decimates Biden With Stunning Results, Including What Americans Think Is His Biggest Achievement Nick Arama KJP Rushes to Stop Reporters From Revealing Obama-Biden Remarks, Plus Truly Elitist Move at Fundraiser Nick Arama Hoo Boy: Biden Campaign Steps on Rake in Midst of Trump Attendance at Service for Slain NYPD Officer Sister Toldjah Consumers Respond Accordingly After Cadbury Egg Store in the UK Goes Politically Correct for Easter Sister Toldjah WATCH: Joe Biden's Fancy Fundraiser interrupted by Pro-Palestinian Protestors Brittany Sheehan Join the conversation as a VIP Member Login to Leave a Comment Trending on RedState Videos Advertisement Trending 1 The Optics Go From Bad to Worse at Wax Statue Biden's Tone-Deaf 'Grassroots' NY Fundraiser 2 New Poll Decimates Biden With Stunning Results, Including What Americans Think Is His Biggest Achievement 3 KJP Rushes to Stop Reporters From Revealing Obama-Biden Remarks, Plus Truly Elitist Move at Fundraiser 4 Hoo Boy: Biden Campaign Steps on Rake in Midst of Trump Attendance at Service for Slain NYPD Officer 5 Consumers Respond Accordingly After Cadbury Egg Store in the UK Goes Politically Correct for Easter WATCH: Joe Biden's Fancy Fundraiser interrupted by Pro-Palestinian Protestors Brittany Sheehan Friday Morning Minute Susie Moore Illinois Convict Released Early Murders 11-Year-Old Boy, State Sen.
