MSM, do your thing.

We’re starting to see some discussion over this story in the Telegraph alleging that British PM Theresa May joked about the size of Donald Trump’s hands at a private fundraiser.

But when you click to see exactly what May was reported to have said, there’s no evidence that she was making a hand-size joke:

Thank you very much for that wonderful reception.

I don’t think I have received such a big hand since I walked down the colonnade at the White House.

She is more likely referencing the now infamous holding-hands incident during May’s visit to the White House last month:

I don't think May says here what Twitter thinks she's saying. Joke seems about brouhaha over holding hands—not size. https://t.co/PpoIEBQGkd pic.twitter.com/oMjsbECDG4

However, it’s the d*ck joke interpretation that’s getting the most play:
