Newsweek senior political reporter Kurt Eichenwald is backing away from his report that supporters of Donald Trump booed when the president-elect eulogized the astronaut John Glenn at an Iowa rally Thursday night.
Eichenwald's retraction came three hours after the original message about jeering at the Trump rally.
"Trump supporters booed John Glenn when Trump mentioned his name at today's rally," Eichenwald wrote in the original tweet, which has now been deleted. "A real American hero risked his life for us. He got booed." The original message was retweeted more than 4,200 times and received 4,300 likes.
Footage of the event shows Trump supporters weren't booing Glenn, but instead heckling protesters at the scene in Des Moines who became disruptive.

Main stream reporter philosophy: “Why, that story is too good to check out!”
This is a prime example of how the new media is vital to monitoring the mainstream garbage. I watched the entire rally on RSBN and it was crystal clear there was no booing.
The mainstreams can no longer get away with making stuff up.
“I can see Russia from my house”
LIibs STILL believe Palin said that. Morons...
