Disgraceful AP obituary for Elijah Cummings deliberately misquotes Trump

Trump responded by criticizing the Democrat’s district as a “rodent-infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.” The comments came weeks after Trump drew bipartisan condemnation following his calls for Democratic congresswomen of color to get out of the U.S. “right now,” and go back to their “broken and crime-infested countries.”

Trump actually said: "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how...."

Lying by omission, just like ABC this week editing what it knew was domestic US gun range demonstration footage and palming it off as actual video of Turkey's war in Syria.

You see, any fool can be a journalist, check a source and quote it accurately, even me. But you have to want to. AP obviously doesn't because it's down for the political cause, not for journalism.

The obit is here.
