This is a perfect example of how Trump’s lies appear true after they ricochet through the echo chamber.
On 7/2 Fox News published this piece online. It’s BS. In fact, the piece itself calls the claim in the headline BS, but that’s not until the end when a Fox analyst brands the central claim BS.
On Tuesday 7/3 Fox & Friends “reports” the story as news. They skip the part where the story calls itself BS.
Trump gets his daily intelligence briefing for July 3 from Fox & Friends.
Trump tweets it to his 50 million yahoo followers and, viola, a lie becomes the truth in their otherwise empty heads:
Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that?

Happy Fourth of July!
