This guy talking in front of @potus just repeated the story about the 20 year old who claimed to have bought an AR-15 in 5 minutes with an expired ID. That story is false. #ParklandStudentsSpeak pic.twitter.com/2apucDklXe

Are you proud of yourself, Chris Cuomo?
Incredible. This is what happens when you repeat lies enough times, @ChrisCuomo. https://t.co/fCVmqhbQ1K

I know. No one wanted to correct him. He was so emotional. This fake news crap is so destructive.
