WaPo 'Fact Checker' Glenn Kessler Pulls a Schiff, Gets Caught Attributing a Quote to Trump That He Didn't Say
 
Remember when House Intel Chief Adam Schiff (D-CA) stooped to new lows back in September with a so-called “parody” reading of the July phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian president Zelensky? Schiff just made up things that Trump didn’t even say in order to boost his case that Trump should be impeached.

Fast forward to March, and the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler is having a “hold my beer” moment on quoting Trump.

In a tweet yesterday, Kessler linked to a piece done by his Washington Post colleagues that disputed the wisdom of Trump wanting to return the country back to some semblance of normalcy within a few weeks.

The problem with Kessler’s quote, as several Twitter users pointed out, was that it wasn’t something Trump said. It was a quote from Bill Gates, who – like Kessler and other mainstream media figures – was perpetuating the false narrative that Trump wants everything back to normal tomorrow regardless of the human cost:

Look for this WashPost lie to show up in a Biden campaign ad in a week or two.
