FAKE NEWS: No, CPAC attendees did NOT boo naturalization ceremonies [video]

There’s been some chatter on Twitter about CPAC audience members booing a speaker Friday who was talking about the beauty of naturalization ceremonies.

I’d take in a heartbeat a group of newly naturalized American citizens over the spoiled native-born know-nothings of CPAC, who today booed at the mention of citizenship naturalization ceremonies.

Here’s Philip Wegmann of the Washington Examiner and his tweet that has racked up around 3,000 “likes.”

Wegmann might want to revisit it, after watching the video. George Mason University Jeremy Mayer at least had the honesty to admit he’d help spread “fake news.”

Skip ahead to 10:00 in the video and watch for about two minutes for context.

I just participated in spreading fake news. My Tweet about CPAC booing naturalization was wrong. Watched the video, and it’s not even close. Apologies to all.https://t.co/rBig7cgHFz

They didn’t boo naturalization ceremonies. They booed a liberal analyst who said Mexican immigrants were gettable GOP voters. Big big difference. You might want to retract and not spread fake news. https://t.co/rBig7cgHFz

Yea, doesn't seem like they boo the naturalization ceremony. Glad that turned out to be wrong. https://t.co/J4j7ww8O4r
