We always love it when the “fact-checkers” get fact-checked, and it’s happened quite a bit lately to the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler.
This latest example started when both of Donald Trump’s sons shared a story about who the daughter of the judge working the Trump case worked for:
Daughter of judge presiding over Trump's hush money case worked for Kamala and Joe Biden https://t.co/lwdMZ0vFds pic.twitter.com/evX3dsHGSm

Here’s how it looked when Donald Trump Jr. linked to a Breitbart story:
Seems relevant… yet another connection in this hand picked democrat show trial. The BS never ends folks.
Daughter of Judge on Trump Case Worked on Biden-Harris Campaign https://t.co/5FtA7K9732
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 4, 2023
A “fact-checker” then sprung into action. The WaPo’s Glenn Kessler framed the “fact-check” this way:
Both Trump sons have now posted photos of the judge's adult daughter. Totally irrelevant — and obviously intended to intimidate. pic.twitter.com/nmYxjGjKIG

Another Community Notes spanking was anticipated:
Hey @washingtonpost come get your boy before @CommunityNotes humiliates him again
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) April 4, 2023
And that’s exactly what happened… again:
Washington Post “fact” “checker” Glenn Kessler gets fact checked— yet again!— after he continues to unfairly smear his political opponents. https://t.co/viX8hpKM0g

Yep!

Community Notes correcting the @washingtonpost fact checker’s lies in real time is flat out amazing. pic.twitter.com/384O5KaYwK

I’ve not been a huge fan of the Community Notes, but to dunk on Mr Pinocchio is too much fun!! pic.twitter.com/z3v4RJG1bW

Another day, another Community Notes thrashing.
Dude is straight-up lying.
What they posted was a news article talking about how she worked for Kamala Harris. Is Kessler suggesting you can't post news articles now?
Community Notes, get to work. https://t.co/Pd5ESFo8R7

Washington Post's lead "fact checker" falsely claims Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. posted a photo of the judge's daughter.
Oh, the irony.
Fact check: They posted a link to a Breitbart article. We chose the photo, not them. Get over it. https://t.co/6KGZzUKsF4

Did they post photos or did they post links to the Daily Mail story, which in turn populated their posts with a photo?
— Tim Carney (@TPCarney) April 5, 2023
They just linked to the stories, but apparently for the “fact-checker” that’s the same thing as posting the pictures.
Here’s a great idea for Elon Musk to consider:
New Twitter Feature idea: If you get shamed by @CommunityNotes three times in a week like @GlennKesslerWP, your Verified Check becomes a Clown Emoji for Two weeks.
Thoughts?

Another day, another dishonest “fact-check”:
Did you really just deceptively edit these tweets in order to falsely portray the LINKING OF A NEWS STORY ABOUT A PUBLIC FIGURE as the posting of a private individual's photo? Wow, BANNER FREAKING WEEK, GLENN.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) April 4, 2023
Because “journalism,” or something.
(I removed the photos from their tweets so as not to spread the image further)
— Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) April 4, 2023
Uh-huh.
Hey, aren't you the WaPo 'fact checker' who was double community notes fact checked on All Fools Day (how apropos!)? Yes!😆 https://t.co/jFnDkX5Gjw

Yes, that was when the fact-checker’s fact-check got a Community Notes fact-checking and then Kessler’s reaction got fact-checked again. That’s got to be some sort of a record.
