This reporter magnificently fact checked Donald Trump to his face and had the whole internet cheering
It’s always a welcome sight – a very welcome sight – when a member of the press corps interrupts Donald Trump’s stream of nonsense to fact check him to his face.
And while not exactly a commonplace occurrence, it’s definitely happening more often these days and this one was a proper humdinger.
It’s Trump wanging on about why he had to use a mail-in-ballot in Florida despite protesting how awful they are in basically every other part of the country, and @ElizLanders wasn’t having it. And it was brilliant.
Trump: I used a mail in ballot. You know why? Because I’m President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for Florida because I felt I should be here.

Hat tip to @ElizLanders for asking IMPORTANT questions of the leader of the free world — when others just lick his shoes.

If mail-in ballots are good for a convicted felon like Donald Trump, they are good for everyone else. https://t.co/OpRaCL2ifr

I was watching when you asked him that and laughed when you reminded him he was in Palm Beach. Good for you for not letting him off the hook.👍🏻
