Someone alerted us last night of an interview that CNN planned to run this morning between Trump supporter Pastor Mark Burns and CNN employee Victor Blackwell. The backstory was that there inconsistencies in Burns’ version of his military career. So, we find out that the inconsistencies are that Burns claimed that he was an Army Reservist, but it turns out that he was a National Guardsman. <\/p>\n

Blackwell looked like he was going to jump out of his chair and start shouting “Stolen Valor! Stolen Valor!” when Burns admitted to the slip. So, good job, CNN. You made up for not questioning Hillary Clinton, Richard Blumenthal or Elizabeth Warren for their lies by picking on a black Trump supporter. he never claimed that he had active duty service, but CNN had to add that part in their slide to make it appear as if they had a case against him.<\/p>\n

In fairness, it appears that Burns did exaggerate some of his academic claims but he didn’t exaggerate his military claims. The differences between service in the Reserves and the Guard only matter to Guardsmen and Reservists. Service in the Guard might be more difficult since they serve two masters.<\/p>\n

What military service does Blackwell have under his belt? According to Wiki<\/a>, none.<\/p>\n
