    ‘They’re Eating the Cats’: Trump Repeats False Claim About Immigrants

    Not ‘lies about immigrants’, it’s ‘repeats false claims’, implying that he has no agency or responsibility when he does this, just the same passive voice reserved for officer involved shootings and spontaneous explosions in Gaza.

    They never dare to use ‘lie’. If you’re going to write the article anyway, call things what they are.

      Of course they don’t, otherwise they get sued, then the onus is on them to prove that Trump knew it was false at the time he said it.

      Good luck proving that.
