    Media misquoted Trump in notorious phone call with Georgia investigator.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Credibility Grade 84% • 4 min read

    The Wall Street Journal first published audio last week of the roughly six-minute call on Dec. 23 between Trump and Frances Watson, the chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. Trump can be heard telling Watson, who was in the middle of conducting an audit of voting results in Cobb County, that he won the 2020 election and that she would be "praised" when the "right answer comes out."
    ...
    "The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to 'find the fraud' or say she would be 'a national hero' if she did so." [The Washington Post's correction note said]. Both CNN and the Washington Post reported previously that state officials said they did not believe a recording of the Trump-Watson call existed.
    ...
    In reporting on the recently released audio of the call, the Washington Post revealed that the false quotes were based on an account by Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state. The outlet said Fuch was briefed on Trump's comments by Watson.

Yes - I am a 72 yr. old white male. US Navy 69-75. The level of racism was shocking to me. I had grown up in rural NE and was not exposed to anything other than whites. As I moved around the country, I saw the income and medical gaps available to the races.


Somewhat - I certainly believe that black lives matter, and I believe we need significant refo...
