MAGA Blasts AP Over Retracted Trump-Putin Story

MAGA types found a new opportunity to lash out at the Associated Press on Tuesday after the news wire retracted a story that incorrectly said that Tulsi Gabbard described Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as “very good friends.”

The AP’s original story highlighted Gabbard’s interview with India’s NDTV and ran with the headline “Gabbard says Trump and Putin are ‘very good friends’ focused on strengthening ties” over the war in Ukraine.

The original story misattributed a reference to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, forcing the outlet to take it down and publish a new version with a new headline, one that included other comments the Director of National Intelligence made about Trump’s relationship with Putin as the U.S. brokers an end to the war in Ukraine.
