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 Joe Biden's Medal of Freedom Ceremony Goes South As His Brain Fries and He Slurs Uncontrollably Bonchie Identity of Agitator Who Called Byron Donalds 'Uncle Tom' at GWU Is Revealed, and It Explains Quite a Bit Sister Toldjah 'Death to America': NYPD Stunned at Hateful Signs Found in NYU Pro-Hamas Camp Bob Hoge Let’s Laugh at the Latest ‘Stunning and Brave’ Take by Robert De Niro About Trump Nick Arama Biden Almost Face-Plants Coming Off Helicopter, While Trump Lights It Up in New York Nick Arama Portland State U Encampment Is Cleared Out and What the Police Found Was Disgusting Nick Arama Join the conversation as a VIP Member Login to Leave a Comment Trending on RedState Videos Advertisement Trending 1 Joe Biden's Medal of Freedom Ceremony Goes South As His Brain Fries and He Slurs Uncontrollably 2 Identity of Agitator Who Called Byron Donalds 'Uncle Tom' at GWU Is Revealed, and It Explains Quite a Bit 3 'Death to America': NYPD Stunned at Hateful Signs Found in NYU Pro-Hamas Camp 4 Let’s Laugh at the Latest ‘Stunning and Brave’ Take by Robert De Niro About Trump 5 Biden Almost Face-Plants Coming Off Helicopter, While Trump Lights It Up in New York Feel-Good Friday: Storm Chaser Saves Family From a Texas Tornado, Transports Them to the Hospital Jennifer Oliver O'Connell No, Antisemitism Isn't Scriptural Jerry Wilson Ted Cruz Wallops Marjorie Taylor Greene Over Effort to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson Jeff Charles Columbia Prez Breaks Silence on NYPD's Raid on Pro-Hamas Mob, Statement Will Please Exactly No One Bob Hoge Pro-Hamas Activists Don't Care That They Are Helping Trump Jeff Charles WATCH: Pro-Terror Protests Cause Commuter Delay in NYC, Taking Over Train and Refusing to Leave Brittany Sheehan Advertisement
