Jeanine Pirro Just Admitted She Lied During Last Night’s Interview With Donald Trump
On Saturday night Fox News’ “Judge” Jeanine Pirro held a call-in interview with Donald Trump, and it turns out she told a big ol’ fat lie.
During the interview Pirro said that Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was vacationing with Democratic colleagues in Puerto Rico over the weekend. After her claim was easily debunked. Pirro walked back her story on Twitter.
Pirro tweeted, “During my exclusive interview with Pres Trump I said Speaker Pelosi was in Puerto Rico with a bunch of her Democrat colleagues. I based that on numerous reports that turned out to be wrong. The Speaker’s office says she has been in DC all weekend and I take them at their word.”

Jeanine, even if there were a number of Ds in PR, why would that be an issue? It's not like they skirted off to Russia on one of our national holidays.
— Wow. Just…wow. The horror… (@scottevanjenk) January 13, 2019
Wouldn't it make sense to verify something like that ahead of time instead of making that statement in front of a large audience?

Fox News should change its tagline to "Numerous Reports That Turned Out To Be Wrong."

I’m fairly certain the media are supposed to fact check their stories before airing them but maybe I’m wrong…
Did it occur to you to try and find some of these federal workers Trump says are happy to lose their homes over his stupid wall? You know, just for validity and all?— samantha jones (@kitchenbitch99) January 13, 2019
During your interview you asked our POTUS a simple question. Is he a Russian Asset and he failed to answer it and YOU let that slide. You just sat there and let him respond about how butt hurt he is he is being investigated. THE TREASON INTERVIEW… Answered NOTHING.

Problem is that most of your viewers won't see this. You used your "error" to increase the level of vitriol in the interview and increase your ratings. The truth would have taken the wind out of Trump's statements. We know he will never retract anything, lie or not. https://t.co/2sNHTRzlST
