The media conspiracy against Trump became a lot more serious on Monday when the Washington Post retracted its January story claiming that President Donald Trump had pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find the fraud” in the 2020 election and said that he’d be a “national hero” if he did.div class="thm-piano-mop"> A recording of the call definitively proved that the quotes cited by the Washington Post, and then parroted by other outlets, were never actually said by the president at all.But, as Becket Adams explains at the Washington Examiner, “the Washington Post’s dud of a ‘bombshell’ isn’t even...

Hours after The Washington Post made a correction to its story that it had “misquoted” former President Donald Trump, the former President issued a blistering statement. The bad reporting from WaPo claimed Trump told Georgia’s top elections investigator “to find the fraud,” in December. The Post says this quote was false and they lay blame on an unidentified source. “Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the...

The purposeful dissemination of rancid fake news that ran the epidemic during the Trump Administration as the Democrat activists posing as “journalists” coordinated efforts with the Democrat Party’s never-ending coup d’état efforts have only continued to get worse and worse since Trump left office on January 20. Nazi-style propaganda outlets like the WaPo provide numerous examples of rank news-fakery every day of the week at this point in their desperate efforts to provide cover for the nation-killing policies of China Joe Biden.

It’s one thing if a single news outlet publishes a fraudulent anonymously sourced “scoop.” It’s another thing entirely if multiple newsrooms claim to have independently “confirmed” the fraudulent “scoop” with anonymous sources of their own. The former can reasonably be explained away as a simple error; the latter is not so simple.

A Ballot Inspection Hearing was heard today in Atlanta, GA on motions to compel Fulton Co. to “Show Us the Ballots” in a case filed by VoterGA.org. Garland Favorito runs the non-profit fighting for election integrity in Georgia. Attorneys for Fulton County, where the infamous ‘Ruby’ video showing election workings scanning ballots multiple times in the middle of the night after forcing Republican monitors to leave State Farm Arena, declared they had only 29 days to prepare and by law are allowed 30. The incredulous judge gave them until this Monday to be ready to argue why citizens of Georgia...

Former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams (D-GA) said Sunday on CNN’s ”State of the Union” that Republican election proposals in her home state were a “redux of Jim Crow, in a suit and tie.” Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “So Republican state lawmakers in your home state, Georgia, have introduced almost two dozen bills to make it more difficult to vote. They are going to end no excuse mail-in voting, which has been there since 2005. They will reduce voting on Sundays, ask for stricter I.D. requirements, take away drop boxes. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in D.C. — he called...

A judge may unseal absentee ballots in Fulton County so a government watchdog can investigate allegations of voting fraud in the November election. A lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court contends that fraudulent ballots were cast and other irregularities occurred as workers counted ballots at State Farm Arena on election night. Those allegations were investigated and dismissed by the secretary of state’s office. Nonetheless, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero — who is overseeing the case — said he’s inclined to order the ballots to be unsealed and reviewed by experts hired by Garland Favorito, a voting-integrity advocate....

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America The Washington Post just issued a correction as to the contents of the incorrectly reported phone call I had with respect to voter fraud in the Great State of Georgia. While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning. I would further appreciate a strong investigation into Fulton County, Georgia, and the Stacey Abrams political machine which, I believe, would totally change the course of the presidential election in...

President Trump released a statement on the Washington Post’s retraction of their “find the fraud” hoax. The Washington Post reported on a lengthy phone call Trump had with a chief investigator in Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s office. WaPo falsely claimed that President Trump called a chief investigator and asked the official to “find the fraud” and told the person they would be a “national hero” for it. It was all a lie. In early January crooked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger appeared on ABC’s “This Week” with liberal host George Stephanopoulos and smeared Trump about his calls to...

The Washington Post issued a correction revealing it “misquoted” Donald Trump’s comment on a call with a Georgia election official.The outlet quietly admitted that the former president never asked the state’s top election investigator to “find the fraud,” but rather encouraged the official to “scrutinize” ballots.The Post’s full, seven-sentence correction attributes the misquote to faulty “information provided by a source”:Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator.

Early media accounts of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and a top Georgia investigator contained false quotes, prompting at least two major media outlets to issue a correction or update. The Wall Street Journal first published audio last week of the roughly six-minute call on Dec. 23 between Trump and Frances Watson, the chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, in which Trump urged her to look for fraud in mail-in ballots in Fulton County, where much of Atlanta is located. Indeed, Trump can be heard telling Watson, who was in the middle of conducting...

A state lawmaker in Georgia has resigned from his role as county attorney after being pressured to quit over his support for an election integrity bill. State Rep. Barry Fleming, a Republican, sponsored House Bill 531, which passed the House along party lines last week. The bill, which awaits Senate action, curbs the use of drop boxes, changes early voting hours, limits no-excuse absentee voting, and requires ID for absentee voting. “House Bill 531 is designed to begin to bring back the confidence of our voters back into our election system. A main component of that effort is by enacting...

Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job...
