CNN Fact-Checker Flags 'Most Dangerous Part' Of Donald Trump's News Conference
HuffPost
There was "a lot of lying from the president-elect" but one comment stood out, said Daniel Dale.
There was “a lot of lying” from Donald Trump during the press conference the president-elect gave at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, said CNN fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale.
But one comment stood out as particularly perilous, Dale told colleague Dana Bash.
“I think the most dangerous part was an equivocation,” said Dale. “It wasn’t really a claim, but he was asked whether he thought there was a link between vaccines and autism and he equivocated. He said, ‘Well, we have some brilliant people looking at this,’ and he talked about the increased prevalence of autism diagnoses.”
Trump said that “right now you have some very brilliant people looking at it” and claimed that there was “something wrong” with a reported rise in autism rates and that “we’re going to find out about it.”
