CNN Fakes Donald Trump Quote


CNN’s original headline, which said, “Trump Skeptical of Mail-In Balloting, Encourages Voting More Than Once If Necessary,” has been changed multiple times since being called out. Originally they claimed that Trump was encouraging voting fraud, something he’s been strongly against and trying to bring attention to for last several weeks.

In the original article, they highlighted Trump saying the following:

“If you go to university center, they’ll give you a new ballot, they’ll void your old ballot, in some places they do that four or five times, so by tomorrow, almost everyone will have their new ballots in.”

Yeah, that’s pretty damning, right? It sure as hell seems like the GOP candidate is pressing his followers to try to cast multiple ballots. Yet, it takes away the context, in which Trump says that they won’t do that.

Here is what he actually said.

“If you go to university center, they’ll give you a new ballot, they’ll void your old ballot. They’ll give you a new ballot, and you can go out and make sure it get’s in. Now in some places, they do that four or five times, but we don’t do that. So by tomorrow, almost everyone will have their new ballots in.”

More, it appears that Trump is questioning the system itself, much as he has done throughout the past few weeks where he’s complained about voter fraud and a “rigged” election.

However, despite changing the title and comments on their website, they continued to tweet the false article title long after the changes had been made. CNN since deleted the tweet, which was up for over two and half hours. How embarrassing. Desperation is a stinky cologne.
