Democratic Socialist Senate Nominee Angie Nixon got fact-checked on her anti-Trump claims, but not by the journalist she was speaking to.<\/p>\n

Nixon faced absolutely no pushback from NBC News\u2019 Kristen Welker when she called President Donald Trump a \u201c34-count adjudicated rapist\u201d while answering a question about whether she supports drafting a new Constitution.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udca5\"NEW: NBC News\u2019 Kristen Welker *LETS* Dem Socialist Senate Nominee Angie Nixon falsely call Trump \u201c34-COUNT ADJUDICATED R*PIST\u201d\"\ud83d\udca5\"<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records \u2014 not r*pe.<\/p>\n

He was separately found civilly liable for sexual abuse\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/mZGYckwBwz<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe DSA platform also calls for drafting a new constitution. Do you support that?\u201d Welker asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t support that, but what I do support is making sure that we\u2019re fully following the Constitution which is everything that Donald Trump is against,\u201d Nixon responds. \u201cWe need to make sure that we\u2019re enforcing our laws, and not allowing someone like Donald Trump, who happens to be a 34-count adjudicated rapist, to actually circumvent those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it sounds like you disagree with a number of the DSA policy items,\u201d Welker continues, not addressing the bizarre and incorrect allegations levied against Trump by her guest.<\/p>\n

Jason Cohen shared the clip with an important fact-check.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records \u2014 not rape. He was separately found civilly liable for sexual abuse against E. Jean Carroll. The jury even specifically rejected the rape claim,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThese are basic, well-established facts. Yet there was no correction or fact-check.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cABC News and George Stephanopoulos previously paid Trump a multi-million dollar settlement after the anchor repeatedly claimed he had been found liable for rape,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Looks like Angie is in for a lawsuit and Kristen let her hang herself.<\/p>\n

Trump needs to file suit against them personally and against NBC\u2026<\/p>\n

Democrats will lie and lie. They have no concern for telling the TRUTH! Shame on both of these women!<\/p>\n

I smell another winning lawsuit. Take them for everything they have. They\u2019re worthless.<\/p>\n

@kwelkernbc<\/a> you are human garbage. You knew she was lying and you said nothing! TDS rots the brains of left wing hacks.<\/p>\n

No surprises. Birds of a feather flock together. The legacy-media netherworld is where they seem most at home.<\/p>\n
