Update (1836ET): After the MSM spent the day in histrionics peddling the falsehood that Trump said Liz Cheney should face a firing squad, - when he was simply calling her a chickenhawk - CNN panelist Jonah Goldberg offered a mea culpa, and has retracted his claim that Trump called for Cheney's execution.
"This morning on CNN I referred to Trump’s “rifles” quote as him advocating a 'firing squad' for Liz Cheney," said Goldberg. "I was wrong to say he was calling for a firing squad execution. After I said that, my co-panelist, Brad Todd made the case that I was wrong."
"I let my disgust at Trump’s comments get the better of me as this was the first time I’d heard them."
Watch:
NEW: The media's disinformation campaign to confuse voters over Trump's Liz Cheney comment appears to be backfiring.

Columnist Jonah Goldberg, who falsely claimed on CNN that Trump wanted to execute Cheney, has issued a 'correction' for spreading the false story.

This is going to make the decision by Arizona attorney general Kris Mayes (D-ildo) to investigate Trump's remarks look even more idiotic.
Naturally, this will be strongly condemned by everyone who says he’s worried about the spread of misinformation and opposed to the abuse of government power for partisan purposes. https://t.co/5fuAObNqdM

Meanwhile the nevertrumps are fighting, with Joe Walsh of all people defending the former president.
Respectfully my friend, posting that 11 second clip without the context of what he was saying is deceptive. You should have posted the entirety of what he said. Thanks

The left has fabricated a new hit on Donald Trump - suggesting that he said Liz Cheney should be executed after he clearly said she should fight in the wars she advocates for.
While discussing Cheney with Tucker Carlson, Trump said:
"She's a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, ok? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.
"You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying 'oh gee, let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy."
🚨TRUMP: "Dick Cheney's daughter is a very dumb individual. She's a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, let's see how she feels about it when the guns trained on her face. They're all war hawks when they're sitting in… pic.twitter.com/Wzq4BBiP8C

CNBC's Jim Cramer and Karl Quesadilla:
On @CNBC @jimcramer & @carlquintanilla said multiple times Trump said Liz Cheney should face a firing squad. Has journalism become a bad game of telephone, where each misquotes the next outlet?

Here's Politico senior political columnist repeating the 'firing squad' lie (Jonathan you typically don't give the condemned their own rifle in a firing squad situation):
And the willingness to explain away, well-what-he-really-meant by the firing squad is my point: no price too steep to pay to rationalize an aberrant figure https://t.co/lfvZq2pQOz

President Trump was talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America’s sons and daughters to fight in wars despite never being in a war herself. pic.twitter.com/oWr1eEIEoV
Anyone with an IQ north of double-digits sees this for what it is:
Even a Vox reporter is honest enough not only to tell corporate media that they're outright lying about what Trump said about Liz Cheney, but that it's what liberals said for decades.

And yes: if Trump called for a firing squad, why we he say Liz should be given a rifle?😂 https://t.co/MfURnUxfmj
I understand the muppet babies for whom this is their first election, but seasoned journalists? “Chickenhawk” and “would you send your own son??” were standard lines 2002-2008. Not a single human being thought the Michael Moore’s of the world were threatening Bush and Cheney. https://t.co/mMfUbzEAaL

Trump never threatened Cheney you fucking headline liars. Educate yourself. Show the clip of the Tucker interview liberal assholes.
This show with activist Carl Quantnilla is a liberal cesspool. It’s unwatchable.
Lies lies and more liberal lies!
I don’t support Donald Trump but I also don’t support journalists lying to their audiences, and when he says (paraphrased) “these pro-war people wouldn’t be talking such a big game if they were on the front lines” it is actually not the same thing as saying they should be shot https://t.co/kyVtfjkv8e
