The AP source of legacy news, lied egregiously to trash a pro Trump candidate. The Washington Post and every other news source piled on to the hit piece on Bernie Moreno.
It will ultimately be retracted, but the damage is done.

You cannot make this up. The AP published a bogus, easily verifiable falsehood. When asked for evidence, they pointed to a Twitter thread that shows their reporting was wrong.

This is actionable defamation.

based on the Supreme Court’s 1964 flawed ruling in New York Times v. Sullivan—Moreno might well win under that standard.
