    THE OFFENSE

    ABC Fake News’s Jonathan Karl made up a bizarre lie claiming President Trump called him the morning after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner to check if he was okay.

    THE TRUTH

    President Trump did no such thing, and, as Karl later admitted, did not even pick up Karl’s call. The fact Karl would fabricate this story to try and make himself the center of attention following an attempt on President Trump’s life proves once again that “journalists” like Karl are self-absorbed theater kids with tenuous grips on reality.

    KEY POINTS

    • Freakshow, attention-seeking “journalist” Jonathan Karl fabricated a story involving President Trump to exaggerate Karl’s own importance.
