Busted..

Via david.heath.writer on Threads:

Journalist Jonathan Katz fact checked Katie Britt’s horrific rape story from her over-the-top rebuttal.
Despite all the drama, it turns out to be a story that happened 20 years ago - and not in the U.S. but in Mexico. It’s a story that was recounted in Congressional testimony in 2015.

Katie #Britt lied when she blamed this on Joe #Biden’s border policies and when she said it happened in the U.S. #SOTU

@GottaLaff
Why do people never verify their examples?

Do they really think no-one will check?

Have they never heard of the internet?

@Penultimate@twit.social Because by the time they’re debunked, the meme is out there and repeated 24/7. The fact checks are not as effective.
