It sounded fake the minute I read it. Story too perfect, man too self-serving.

Sigh. I had not heard the first reports.

But expose it as a fraud? And BOOM! All the news agencies have to pile on.

Actually, they cant confirm the boys identity....so it’s a lie. You know the MSM, must only report the truth.

“When you get to those pearly gates, you tell ’em you’re Santa’s No. 1 elf, and I know they’ll let you in,” Schmitt-Matzen recalled telling the boy.


Those in Santa gear or not expressing such blaspheming statements to anyone let alone a little child will be held accountable. Fake story or no fake story. God will not be mocked.

Reads to me that he won’t give up the family’s name - likely S they need their privacy. Can’t fault him for that. At this point they can’t disprove it - they just can’t confirm it. Headline is overly aggressive in stating that it’s unraveling just because it can’t be second sourced.

I have only one question - who contacted the reporter first? If it was ‘Santa’ then find the nurse, if not then who was it

Or maybe this story is the fake news and the original story was real.

Who cares...we should just do good things to gelp those in need

“Santa” must be a Russian.

Any publisher who would deliberately represent a false narrative - especially about subject matter such as this should be held accountable for their gross negligence, and media malpractice - MAGA...

A Tennessee TV station said the visit happened in late October, and Santa told them about it at the time. They said those people also produced text messages sent at the time between Santa, his wife and friends which indicate he was pretty shook up by the event and they were trying to comfort him.

The story that I posted about the Chick Fil A worker isn’t fake. So you can read this one for a heartwarming story

The thing that seemed off to me was the Santa, telling a reporter how wonderful he was. It sickened me. The Santa reminds me of a couple of rotten relatives I have.

I have no idea why anyone should be upset about this, considering the invention of Satan Claus does nothing but keep Jesus from children. What a different country it would be if Jesus was celebrated, and not a fat liberal lie to entice our children.
