Anderson Cooper,Donald Trump,Facts And Fact Checking
CNN host Anderson Cooper torpedoed President Donald Trump's new January 6 propaganda website with a relentless fact-check that included a barrage of receipts demonstrating the falsehood of the revisionist site.
The Trump administration chose Tuesday — the 5th anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol — to unveil the site. It sparked immediate and widespread outrage over the stunning falsehoods, omissions, and concoctions. Those included the claim that "it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection" and that police escalated the violence.
