Former President Donald Trump pulled out a sheet of paper and fact-checked CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins in real time during a town hall event in New Hampshire.
Collins accused Trump of encouraging his supporters to “attack” the Capitol on January 6 before claiming that Trump did not tell them to go home until three hours after violence erupted.
“When they went to the Capitol and they were breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, injuring police officers; why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home?” Collins asked. “I don’t believe it did…Oh let me pull it out, I have to pull it out,” Trump said while reaching into his pocket and pulling out a piece of paper, which drew loud cheers from the crowd.
“So if you look at, on January 5 the day before, I said ‘please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement, they truly are on the side of our country. Stay peaceful, stay peaceful,” Trump said.
The leading GOP candidate then proceeded to read off a number of other tweets while Collins repeatedly tried to interject. “If you look January 6, this is before 2:30: ‘I am asking everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful… this is right after, as it was happening,” Trump said.
“But what happened is they took it down, I don’t know… I think they took it down because it was so good they didn’t like it being up there,” Trump continued, drawing laughs.
‘Jan 6 aka Police Guided Tour of the Capitol’…
We are living in a world full of lies, which the leftwing media has been promoting. Here in New Zealand, 99% of the tabloids(newspaper they call it) are left-leaning. I went to buy the nz herald today, and Wallah, the news about CNN’s Trump Townhall debacle. All the tabloids have the same news, title ‘Trump Dig in All Lies.’ All tabloids are paid by the leftwing bosses to demonize Pres Trump, no wonder the news media are losing business. Sad for the people that are easily brainwashed, including my daughter. Btw, I only buy these papers for my cats’ litter. It’s easy to incinerate.
Thank you for your support from NZ! All US TV media are corrupt, lying, fake and are not speaking what Most Americans belief, support or endorse. Glad you realize the truth, I do not watch them. They are just liberal liars and do NOT represent the majority of American citizens by any means who love Freedom, Truth and Liberty!!

After the wringing out that Trump gave CNN they’ll need to change their letters to MOP.
The left can’t handle the truth. I don’t care what all the good Trump has done for the people of this country, it’s still wrong for the left.
