New York Times changes story admitting they misquoted Clinton saying ‘Russians’ were ‘grooming’ Tulsi Gabbard

President Donald Trump has attacked former Sec. Hillary Clinton over the weekend for trying to blame Russia for everything. In fact, The New York Times story that quoted an interview with Clinton mistakenly alleged the quote. It was incorrect and The Times has fixed their error.

Clinton never said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) was being “groomed” by the “Russians,” according to an update from The Times.

The original piece quoted Clinton saying Russians have “got their eye on somebody who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate.”

In fact, the actual thing Clinton said was that Republicans were grooming Gabbard to be a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020.

1. The old gray lady ain't what she used to be.

Or maybe she is but we're on to her now.

2. And what did tulsi do first in her retaliatory fit?

She went on Fox News and complained to tucker carlson.

If she could explain exactly what was incorrect about what former Sec. Clinton said, I would appreciate it, because it seems pretty spot on to me.

3. Wow... how in the hell could they mix up repubs and russians!?

In fact, the actual thing Clinton said was that Republicans were grooming Gabbard to be a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020.

Never mind..

Mahalo, comradebillyboy!

4. Well, in fairness, they are kind of hard to tell apart at times.

They seem to hang out together rather frequently.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, they are.. and the NYT's proved it..

[DURHAM D]

5. Hey Cha, to be honest at this point I

consider elected Republicans to be Russian assets given that they are no longer interested in what is best for the country. They are adversaries not allies.

I think Moscow Mitch, Graham, McCarthy and others all dream of being American Oligarchs.

[Cha]

10. Absolutely the repubs lock step to the

beat of what trumputin tells them to and how high.

[betsuni]

9. So she's being groomed by Russian assets.

About the same thing.

[Cha]

11. SNAP! The NYT got it 1/2 right the 2nd time.

:fistbulmp:

[betsuni]

6. Don't they have fact checkers?

[still_one]

8. and where are the other media outlets who exploited this? Their silence is deafening

[brush]

12. A mistake on purpose if you ask me. The NYT has hated the Clintons...

for years.

[redqueen]

13. Well, well, well.

I'll just hold my breath while I wait for all those outlets who ran with this disgusting, indefensible BS to issue retractions, shall I?

[ecstatic]

14. This from a paper who damn near outed the whistleblower to

make sure readers had all the facts, or whatever the hell their justification was.

[oasis]

15. Apologies are in order. You know who you are. Check in.

[Hekate]

21. This

[Piiolo]

16. Will. Bernie apologize?

Stay tuned.

[JoeOtterbein]

17. Republicans, or Russians?

Big difference!

[Lithos]

18. How can you tell?

[James48]

19. Ooo-Kay.

Russians

Republicans


Yep- just about the same thing.

[Hekate]

20. Good gravy. KnR

22. I read this correction on Twitter almost as soon as it was made public.

But even though I tried to correct or put doubt out there, people just ran with it.
