Over Labor Day weekend, Hillary Clinton endorsed a brand-new website called Verrit.

I'm excited to sign up for @Verrit, a media platform for the 65.8 million! Will you join me and sign up too? https://verrit.com/sixty-five-point-eight-million …

The “65.8 million” there refers to the number of people who voted for Clinton in the 2016 elections. Verritpromises to publish “rigorously verified” information and analysis, tailored to that specific audience.
Instead of news articles or original reporting, the site appears to currently focus on putting other people’s quotes and statistics into shareable social cards. Each “card” has an authentication number, which is supposed to be an innovative way of preventing the site’s format from being spoofed to spread fake news.
And after an hour of watching multiple Twitter filter bubbles mock, discuss and meme Verrit on Monday, I still had no clue what it was supposed to be.

Run by Peter Daou, Hillary toady, expressly created "for the 65.8 million" who voted for Hillary.

The site itself is pretty much incomprehensible. Even the WaPo reporter says:

[h=3]What is Verrit really?[/h]My very best and most charitable guess, based on Daou’s interviews and its own social media presence, is that Verrit is supposed to be something that’s useful for Clinton supporters who like to argue online about politics. From its early presence, it appears that Verrit finds and repackages talking points and statistics, and puts them into a more shareable format. If you visit the Verrit page for each social media card, it contains a short bit of commentary (sometimes signed by Daou), and links to other relevant tweets, articles and images. The current social cards on Verrit’s main site contain everything from DACA-related statistics to talking points on who to blame for Clinton’s loss:

What anyone's really supposed to do with any of this is far, far from clear. But Hillary wants you to sign up.

She wants to stay "relevant", and lord knows with the Clintons what their will desires is all that matters, it was always all about them.

I have a website about TV and Movie franchises, and since I've had it, I've seen more reboots and franchises than ever before!

Ummm...it is a partisan policy and issues blog. There are tons of them out there. Why is it that as soon as Clinton's name is attacked to one, people lose their minds? National Review is similar. Reason.com is similar(but with a more hilariously inappropriate name). Townhall is similar. Breitbart is similar. Admittedly, I hate the layout of Verrit, but contentwise, it is nothing even worth commenting on.

I told them Abraham never existed and the Jews bore the the Lord Jesus Christ so they should be honored and protected as an early form of ISLAM (belief in one God) and seen as Arab brothers in a more detailed presentation.

I doubt anyone read it, but I sent it out on the inner level.

No, they're claiming to be source of verified facts. It's right in their name. It's right in their mission statement.

No one here has lost their minds. Not sure where you're getting that.
