So NBC tried to spread fake news that Trump and SCOTUS Justice Kennedy ‘made a deal’ to appoint Brett Kavanaugh during a dinner date. This now deleted tweet by Leigh Caldwell of NBC (and formerly CNN) tried to imply a quid-pro-quo.

It’s not just Leigh Caldwell of NBC spreading fake news. Geoff Bennett is is NBC “News” White House Correspondent is also spreading the lie. Unlike Caldwell, Bennett hasn’t deleted his tweet (at the time of this post.)
Source familiar tells NBC that Justice Kennedy had been in negotiations with the Trump team for months over Kennedy’s replacement. Once Kennedy received assurances that it would be Kavanaugh (his former law clerk) Kennedy felt comfortable retiring – @LACaldwellDC & @frankthorp

Bennett’s tweet has over 14,000 retweets and 13,000 likes. Caldwell’s “mea culpa” has under a thousand retweets and likes. So, once again NBC has accomplished what they wanted with their fake news.
I’m really going to enjoy watching these lying media hacks at NBC and other networks lose it during Trump’s second term. By then, Ginsburgh will be in her ’90s and Breyer will be in his mid ’80s. They are next to go.
Imagine, replacing RBG with Amy Coney Barrett! It’s going to be awesome! FU NBC!
