Team Mitch uses New York Times columnist to show 'how fake news is manufactured'

On Wednesday, Sen. Mitch McConnell’s team gave an example of how fake news is manufactured, citing a tweet by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who wanted an explanation of why McConnell’s net worth had gone up so markedly in just ten years.

Make that 17 likes on the “correction.”
