发帖数: 5818 | 1 CNN admits Trump correct, that 2 Democrats misquoted Ukraine call during
impeachment markup session
CNN sided with President Trump this week, agreeing in a fact check that two
House Democrats, both from Texas, had misquoted the president's July 25
phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky during a House
Judiciary Committee impeachment markup session.
In a Twitter message Thursday, Trump wrote that Reps. Veronica Escobar, who
represents El Paso, and Sheila Jackson Lee, who represents Houston, “
purposely misquoted my call.”
“I said I want you to do us (our Country!) a favor, not me a favor. They
know that but decided to LIE in order to make a fraudulent point! Very sad,
” the president wrote.
CNN Politics’ Fact Check pointed out that Escobar and Jackson Lee either
changed or omitted the word “us” when quoting the transcript in the markup
session. The word “us” is significant because it implies Trump was asking
for a favor of national interest, instead of a personal favor against a
political rival. |
