@PallasRiot reports have account after account saying Trump never made those statements, not that it matters.

@PallasRiot @volkris

If we are talking about the statement about the generals from this article:
theatlantic.com/politics/archi

Then I don’t see where any evidence has been provided to disproved it. Even fact checking articles like this one don’t dispute the claim:
usatoday.com/story/news/factch

But I could be missing something.

@redmiscreant Yes, if you rely on sources like the Atlantic and USA Today you will be missing quite a lot.

I really really hate to promote any perspective that could be interpreted as promoting Trump because I think he is a garbage garbage person who should not be allowed anywhere near the White House, but other groups that are not so vehemently opposed to him have been pointing out statements from dozens of people who were in the room, as they say, denying those reports.

Personally, I don't care. Both of these major party candidates are awful so I don't have a dog in this fight, but because I don't have a dog in this fight that means I can point out how bad the journalism is botching this once again.

I honestly don't care who wins. And because I honestly don't care, I'm going to point out that bad journalism is really screwing with the country.

I don’t think you’re promoting Trump at all dw, I’m just a bit curious as to what the other contradictory sources are. And I’m not partial to any of the sources I provided (I’m probably more partial against them if anything). But I think having talking points to use against people like him is useful (especially in conversations with regular people) and I just want to make sure I’m not spreading misinfo if I do use them.
