Democratic Socialist Senate Nominee Angie Nixon got fact-checked on her anti-Trump claims, but not by the journalist she was speaking to.
Nixon faced absolutely no pushback from NBC News’ Kristen Welker when she called President Donald Trump a “34-count adjudicated rapist” while answering a question about whether she supports drafting a new Constitution.

NEW: NBC News’ Kristen Welker *LETS* Dem Socialist Senate Nominee Angie Nixon falsely call Trump “34-COUNT ADJUDICATED R*PIST”
Wrong.
Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records — not r*pe.
He was separately found civilly liable for sexual abuse… pic.twitter.com/mZGYckwBwz

“The DSA platform also calls for drafting a new constitution. Do you support that?” Welker asked.
“I don’t support that, but what I do support is making sure that we’re fully following the Constitution which is everything that Donald Trump is against,” Nixon responds. “We need to make sure that we’re enforcing our laws, and not allowing someone like Donald Trump, who happens to be a 34-count adjudicated rapist, to actually circumvent those things.”
“Well, it sounds like you disagree with a number of the DSA policy items,” Welker continues, not addressing the bizarre and incorrect allegations levied against Trump by her guest.
Jason Cohen shared the clip with an important fact-check.
“Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records — not rape. He was separately found civilly liable for sexual abuse against E. Jean Carroll. The jury even specifically rejected the rape claim,” he wrote. “These are basic, well-established facts. Yet there was no correction or fact-check.”
“ABC News and George Stephanopoulos previously paid Trump a multi-million dollar settlement after the anchor repeatedly claimed he had been found liable for rape,” he added.

Looks like Angie is in for a lawsuit and Kristen let her hang herself.

Trump needs to file suit against them personally and against NBC…

Democrats will lie and lie. They have no concern for telling the TRUTH! Shame on both of these women!

I smell another winning lawsuit. Take them for everything they have. They’re worthless.

@kwelkernbc you are human garbage. You knew she was lying and you said nothing! TDS rots the brains of left wing hacks.

I sincerely hope @POTUS @realDonaldTrump sues her for defamation.

No surprises. Birds of a feather flock together. The legacy-media netherworld is where they seem most at home.
