  Of course it isn’t 🙂 It’s Breitbart, so the assumption is that it’s far-right propaganda absent evidence of the contrary.

  Like I said, if they produce evidence - and pretty convincing evidence too, because extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof - I’ll believe them. Until then, I’ll take Breitbart news like all Breitbart news should be taken: damn lies for MAGA hicks who believe anything far-right.

    Seems to me that if Breitbart news were just making this up and lying; that in itself would be a good news story for other media.

    But I don’t see any news orgs denying these figures or accusing Breitbart of lying.

      Breitbart is a fringe far-right conspiracy-theory-peddling organization. Nobody is correcting them because nobody takes them seriously, they don’t matter and they’re not worth the effort.

      But you know that. I’m just leaving this here for those who might wonder if this new Breitbart lie is an actual thing.
