They either know they’re pushing a false claim or they need to get their heads checked. On Monday evening, the liberal broadcast networks of ABC and NBC continued their fake news campaign by pushing a false claim that President Trump only recently admitted the infamous Trump Tower meeting was for opposition research, when, in fact, he admitted it over a year ago.
Over the weekend, President Trump tweeted out a defense of his son, Don Jr. and his meeting with a Russia linked lawyer at Trump Tower, saying “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent.” It was something both men admitted back in 2017 after many shifting explanations. “For me, this was opposition research,” Don Jr. said at the time to Fox News. And the President spoke about it on stage saying, “It's called opposition research, or even research into your opponent.”
“As that courtroom drama plays out, President Trump has made an about-face in that much-discussed meeting between his son, Don Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower back in June 2016,” declared anchor Lester Holt during NBC Nightly News. “The President now admitted it was all about getting information on Hillary Clinton…”
Despite the fact that what he said was a lie, Holt boasted about how their pompous White House correspondent, Peter Alexander would “explain” “that's not the story he was telling before now.”
