2017.02 Trumps ExecOrder cause a Woman's Death

CNN FakeNews that Trump’s Executive Immigration Order caused Michigan Woman’s Death.

CNN's Erol Lewis pushed a false story that Trump’s Executive Immigration Order caused Michigan Woman’s Death, after the story had already been disproven. If they retracted and apologized, they might not be known as FakeNews.

Mike Hager said that he and his family were stopped while trying to return from Iraq to Michigan and that he was allowed through because of his American citizenship but his ailing mother and other family members were not. He then claimed that his mom passed away in Iraq on Saturday, as he was traveling to the United States.

The truth is that his mother died five days earlier (before the ban) - on January 22, 2017.

That didn't stop FakeNews outlets from running unvalidated stories because they made Trump look bad. And being stingy on the corrections/apologies, because OrangeMan Bad!
