I don't get why she got beat up for that. Well, I do because they are dishonest, but what's wrong with having a different set of facts that you bring to the table to back up an argument?
It's almost like they want to shut down conversation, or something?
What I'm poking at is - correct me if I'm wrong - but part of the definition of "fact" is that it is actually true. It is certainly possible to argue different opinions with different sets of non-contradictory facts, e.g. whether a launch vehicle stage should use hydrogen because it has high specific impulse or kerosene because of hydrogen's low density - hydrogen's low density and high specific impulse don't contradict; it's not rocket science ...sorry for the interruption, but a small hard object just hit my head for some reason. But if someone is going to say hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 and someone says it has an atomic number of 2, only one of those is true, and therefore only one of those is a fact, and the other is not an "alternative fact".
"They don't have time for our media minions to deny the truth and re-enforce our party narritive. " - not at classiest or racist, right?
Even Buddhists know the deal
BASED
"alternative facts"?

In POC's defense I think Kellyanne husband was a big part of that.
