Representative Bill Johnson (R-Marietta) released the following statement regarding the recent “fake news” story about Donald Trump and Russia:
“It is deeply troubling that some news organizations chose to publish unverified and inflammatory reports on President-elect Trump’s relationship with Russia.
“We’ve heard a lot about ‘fake news’ recently; well, the recent story, published by the online, left-wing clickbait site BuzzFeed, is a prime example of ‘fake news.’ One of the major reasons that Donald Trump was elected is that the American people are tired of media bias and media sponsored character assassination. It is clear that some in the ‘mainstream media’ are willing to run with wild rumors intended to harm Mr. Trump.
“I’m looking forward to the Inauguration in nine days, and hearing a hopeful message from the President-elect.”
