Everyone piles on after Donald Trump tweets a quote from an apparently made-up person named āRichard Ketayā
Bill Palmer
Who is Richard Ketay? Thatās the question everyone is left asking tonight, after Donald Trump tweeted a lengthy quote that sounded exactly like something Donald Trump would say, and then attributed it to a person no one has ever heard of ā and weāre not even sure if the person really exists.
Hereās the Trump-like quote in question: āIt isnāt often I get angry at the dirty politics of the Democrats in Congress, but this time I am enraged and hope this impeachment charade will backfire on Reps. Pelosi & Schiff, & the Democrats. I have read thoroughly the telephone conversation between Trump & the President of Ukraine, and cannot find any reason to charge the President with high crimes & misdemeanors. This is just a phony Witch Hunt, perpetuated by Democrats to get rid of Trump because they cannot beat him in a fair election.ā It sounds like something Trump wrote himself and just attributed to a fake person, right? Actually, it may be precisely that.
Weāre really confused about who this person is supposed to be. We searched Google to try to find out who āRichard Ketayā is, but the first page of results consists entirely of random anonymous people. We also did a real time search on Twitter, but all of the results were merely people asking who Richard Ketay is.
Itās not clear if āRichard Ketayā is such a grotesque misspelling of a political punditās name that no one can figure out what name Trump was trying to say, or if Trump is quoting some random person who has zero political profile (not even a Twitter account), or if Trump simply made up the quote and attributed it to a fake person. Richard Ketay, if youāre listening, please let us know who you are.
