Fux Noise reported Trump never said that dead US troops were 'suckers,'

but the network's national security correspondent said ex-officials confirmed he did

Fox News spent a chunk of its Friday coverage dismissing a report in The Atlantic saying President Donald Trump belittled fallen military members by calling them "suckers" and "losers."

Then Jennifer Griffin, a national security correspondent for the network, said in a lengthy Twitter thread that former Trump administration officials confirmed the president's remarks to her.

The Atlantic article cited anonymous sources, and Fox News's own sources suggested the article had been falsified. But two former senior Trump administration officials later verified the president's disparaging comments, Griffin said.

"According to one former senior Trump administration official: 'When the President spoke about the Vietnam War, he said, 'It was a stupid war. Anyone who went was a sucker,'" Griffin tweeted.

while still having an anecdote to point to when others point out that they are liars and propagandists.
