‘What he said isn’t true’: NYT reporter busts Trump’s latest lie to ‘inch back’ into the spotlight
November 01, 2021
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman revealed that Donald Trump lied about weaseling his way into a World Series game.
The twice-impeached one-term president took part in the controversial "tomahawk chop" Saturday night at the Atlanta Braves-Houston Astros game, which Trump claimed he'd been invited to attend by Major League Baseball -- but which he actually sought out himself.
"I'm not surprised by he said he got invited when he asked for the invitation," Haberman told CNN. "But once again his efforts to get attention work. There was this effort -- he was telling people to boycott baseball, other people were telling corporations to boycott him. Now here we are several months later, 10 months after Jan. 6, Trump is asking to be let back into this major event. He frames it however he wants. People will remember his statement, and he gets attention."
"So, yes, it isn't true -- what he said is not true just based on what the CEO of the Braves said before," she added. "This is exactly the playbook Donald Trump plays every single time when he gets pushed to the side in public life, he finds a way to inch back in."
