32. Headline doesn't match the text
Mon Mar 1, 2021, 01:07 PM
Mar 2021

Text specifically says he called the rally--and NOT what happened at the Capitol--a lovefest. Headline says the opposite.

We have so many legit things to go after him on, I hate seeing stuff mis-used, mis-quoted, etc. which the other side just can just use to show "how dishonest the left is." It's so unnecessary and can be self-defeating.
