New Yorker, Once Renowned for Fact-Checking Operation, Won’t Correct False Claim About Donald Trump

More than 24 hours have passed since the New Yorker published a post-debate column that states "no one knows" what Donald Trump meant when he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants.

The column from staff writer Susan Glasser led the magazine’s website after Tuesday evening’s debate. It argues that the president said a number of "crazy and unhinged" things during the 90-minute affair including that "the Vice-President ‘wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.’"
