Katy Tur’s false tweet goes viral

Published September 28, 2018 3:29pm ET



Katy Tur, the MSNBC anchor whose elevation to know-nothing cable news pundit is apparently attributable to President Trump being mean to her during the 2016 presidential election, claimed falsely this week that not a single Republican senator extended a kind or thoughtful word to Christine Blasey Ford when she testified before Congress.

“It will no doubt resonate that each GOP Senator starts his time by apologizing to Kavanaugh for what he is going through, while none took their time to apologize to Dr Ford what she has been through,” Tur tweeted Thursday to her more than 560,000 Twitter followers.
