As Twitchy told you yesterday, on âThe View,â Joy Behar read with glee the original reporting from ABC Newsâ Brian Ross that Michael Flynn was told to contact Russia when Donald Trump was still a candidate for president. ABC News later issued what they called a âclarificationâ to say that actually happened when Trump was president-elect, which of course changes everything (itâs impossible to collude with Russia to win an election after the election).
Kellyanne Conway noticed this morning that at that time the âfake newsâ tweet from âThe Viewâ was still published and they were still helping spread a bogus story. The @TheView tweet was deleted shortly after Conwayâs criticism:
Why is this celebratory tweet (and clip) on @TheView still active when their network @ABC was forced to correct the grievously false reporting it is based upon? https://t.co/qp6NiCisoS

Not long after Conwayâs tweet, it disappeared.
Itâs deleted now

The tweet was up for HOURS with thousands of retweets before being deleted, and @TheView then retweeted ABC Newsâ correction to the story.
Joy Beharâs tweet celebrating what we now know was bogus information remains:

If you missed the clip of Behar celebrating the completely inaccurate Brian Ross report, here it is:

No, that did not age well at all.
