Thread by @realchrisrufo

The Washington Post's @laurameckler spent three weeks preparing a hitpiece against me.

In this thread, I will expose five flat-out lies, from the fabrication of a timeline to multiple smears that are easily disproven by documentary evidence.

This is how the media lies.🧵

Lie #1. The Washington Post presents critical race theory as a benign academic concept, obscuring the divisive nature of the ideology and refusing to address the huge amount of evidence on abusive CRT programs in K-12 classrooms.

Lie #2. The Washington Post fabricates the timeline of events surrounding my involvement in President Trump's executive order on critical race theory in the federal government.

Lie #3. The Washington Post falsifies a direct quotation, claiming that I said it is "so obvious" that my strategy was to "conflate" unrelated items with CRT. I never said this and challenge the Post to produce the audio recording to support their claim—or retract it.

Lie #4. The Washington Post claims that the Treasury Department never said that all white people are racist during a diversity training seminar—but I have the original source documents that prove the Post's claim is false.

Lie #5. The Washington Post claims that my reporting about a "power and privilege" training at a Cupertino elementary school never happened. But I have hard evidence from a parent and the school's own principal, who confirms that the training did occur.

The Washington Post has attempted to smear me with five verifiably false claims. I call on the editors to issue an immediate correction and retract all of the false statements.

Democracy dies when the media lies.
