Appearing as a guest on Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed that President Ronald Reagan "used to fabricate stories," and alluded to a story about the Holocaust as an example.
After fellow guest James Fallows of The Atlantic recalled possible holes in stories told by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, lamenting that voters do not seem to care, Brinkley brought up false stories that circulated in 1972 about Ed Muskie, and then moved to Reagan as he added:
So there are these fake kind of stories that come in, but I agree with James Fallows completely with the honey badger idea, nothing Donald Trump says, he can make up stories, but, you know, Ronald Reagan used to fabricate stories. He used to-
After host Brian Stelter jumped in asking, "Fabricated?" the CNN presidential historian continued:
Yeah, he would tell stories about Disneyfied America, you know, things that, you know, he may have been in a movie about the Holocaust, but suddenly, he had a direct experience with it in World War II. And it never stuck to Ronald Reagan in any way, and I cede it's not sticking really to Donald Trump right now.

Obama’s grandfather liberated Auschwitz, right?
(FACT: Stalin’s Red Army liberated Auschwitz. But this is no big deal because Obama is super awesome.)
I didn’t know this old liberal clown was still around. It’s weird how some of these clowns always crawl out from under a rock every four years.
And Barack Obama was really born in Hawaii.....
I can’t even understand Brinkley’s sentence structure. And they say Trump’s speech is word salad??
He must have been in Stalin’s Red Army
And I never heard the Gipper claim to have witnessed the Holocaust personally.
Leftists always lie about history, tearing down real heroes because they have none. Brinkley has the ethics of an egg-sucking dog.
“They’re all p!$$ed that their “fact check” scam isn’t working to discredit conservative candidates. It’s the same as their “mainstream” reporting, masquerading their opinions as “facts”.”
Remember when the leftards kept publishing things like “Ten Thousand Lies that Rush Limbaugh Told Between 8 and 9 This Morning?”
And when you looked at them, there was nothing there.
I never heard Ronaldus Magnus say anything about seeing boncentration bamps.
Another reason why the left tears down a Civilization’s heroes being the destruction of the target civilization. People have no person to be proud of when there are no heroes no history, no beliefs.
Gee.
And Roosevelt’s fictions about the “ordinary man “ that Roosevelt talked to and got advice from in his “fireside chats” were absolutely true?
This is entirely derived from an unnamed ISRAELI source. There was a conversation in which an Israeli official repeated this story to an American ambassador. The ambassador did not hear Reagan say this himself. Reagan worked with a film unit (509th) and saw photos of the Holocaust. He did not say he personally visited the camps. It’s most likely that the Israeli had a translation issue.
Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there’s anything beneath that smile.
I see the same thing in my business, which is full of people who talk a good game but don’t deliver
