CLAIM: Cardinal Timothy Dolan said: "Donald Trump has been abused, degraded, lied about, and undermined from the moment he took office. He stands for this country, he stands for every American, and has stood like a lion against a pack of jackals for four years. God bless Trump."

 

RATING: INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION. 

 

Snopes found no evidence Dolan ever made such a remark, which had previously been falsely attributed to other public figures.
