USA Today updated a story tying the Trump campaign to a Nazi symbol of an eagle when critics condemned the paper, pointing out that eagles are prominent in America emblems, too.

Last weekend, the paper published a “fact-check” claiming “Trump's campaign website recently unveiled a T-shirt that has come under fire because of design similarities between its logo and a Nazi symbol” and coming to the conclusion that the claims are “true.”

After widespread backlash, the paper declared on Wednesday that the claim wasn’t true after all.

2020 not showing how great the 21st century is

The lying from the left reaches pandemic proportions

in 2020 blacks prove every day that black lives do not matter to other black people

in 2020 the liberal agitprop media proves facts don’t matter to them and has to be brought screaming to admit the truth by others

[Cowboy Bob]

So, USA Today said the American Bald Eagle was a symbol of the Nazi Party? 😳

Does it come in rolls with convenient perferations or do you have to tear it yourself?

truth is the real murder victim of all liberals

libtard pols

libtard propagandists

libtard teachers

libtard “scientists”

libtard “activists”

[snarkytart]

how soon before the left calls for the hunting and killing of all American Bald Eagles into extinction because they symbolize America and their pics and symbols are used by patriots on various clothing and hats?

[rightwingcrazy]

Do they have bald eagles in Germany? Yeah, I didn't think so. Has the American Bald Eagle been a universally recognized symbol of the United States for well over a century before the Nazis even existed, as it continues to be to this day? Yeah, I thought so.

Clarification: The claim that Trump 2020 has put out a T-shirt with a symbol similar to a Nazi eagle and is being criticized for it is true. Worth noting, the eagle is a longtime US symbol, too.— USA TODAY (@USATODAY) July 12, 2020

Yup. I used to get them when I worked on the road and stayed in motels. I never read them but they made good packing material when I shipped parts.

Maybe the the morons at USA Flushaway have never seen the MARINE CORPS emblem? I think Marines should let the communists at this rag know how they feel about being told they are using a Nazi symbol.

Nazi Pelosi wears a House stickpin that has the same symbol on it
