As Twitchy reported, Newsweek came to AOC’s rescue after her ridiculous claim about the 22nd Amendment during her MSNBC Town Hall on the Green New Deal. She claimed Republicans passed the 22nd Amendment so they could stop FDR from running again.
Even though he was dead.
And the amendment didn’t pertain to sitting presidents.
Yeah, it was bad.
Welp, after they came to her defense it seems they decided to change the headline (that AOC actually used to defend herself) after getting dragged mercilessly.
Newsweek does AOC’s bidding. AOC uses Newsweek to defend her flub. Newsweek gets called out. Newsweek quietly changes their headline. pic.twitter.com/xgpwmHBFqY

Smooth move, Newsweek.
Gotta love a news outlet that stands by their reporting, right?
Wow, we’re almost embarrassed for Newsweek.
Almost.
This tweet contains the original headline. Spot the difference! pic.twitter.com/XF1OCRfbp4

HA!
Is this more of a slam on Newsweek or on AOC?
Didn’t Newsweek sell for a $1? That might’ve been too high

Imagine using @Newsweek as your defense

Two thoughts…AOC’s ignorance continues to be stunning and I had no idea Newsweek was still around.

We live in crazy times.
