Trump Insists Clearly Edited Pic of Abrego Garcia's Tats Is Real in Testy Interview
The convicted felon criminal traitor is flat out LYING again.
Donald Trump has been on quite a press tour around his first 100 days in office, the latest stop of which was a sit-down interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday night. It wasn't always cordial between the president and correspondent Terry Moran - particularly as Moran tried to tell Trump that an obviously edited image of "MS-13" appearing across the knuckles of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not, in fact, real.
"On his knuckles he had MS-13," Trump said of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate his return. Trump and his allies have baselessly tried to cast Abrego Garcia as a terrorist gang member they were justified in expelling from the country without due process (even though the administration itself has admitted in court his deportation was due to an "administrative error").
"He had some tattoos that were interpreted that way," Moran replied.
Abrego Garcia has four symbols tattooed across his knuckles, and the White House has been circulating an image onto which someone Photoshopped - or just superimposed with a basic paint app, really - "MS13," purporting that it's what Abrego Garcia's actual tattoos represent. Trump even posed with a printout of the photo in the Oval Office.
Trump kept insisting the text overlaid across Abrego Garcia's knuckles were the actual tattoos. "Wait a minute. Terry, Terry, Terry. Don't do that. It says ‘MS13.'"
"That was Photoshopped," Moran said.
Trump then started mocking Moran. "That was Photoshopped? Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I'd never heard of you, but that's OK," Trump said. "You're not being very nice."
Moran again tried to move to another question, but Trump wasn't having it.
"Terry, do you want me to show you the picture?"
"I saw the picture."
Moran kept trying to move on - even saying "agree to disagree" - but Trump kept insisting: "No, no: He had ‘MS' as clear as you can be, not ‘interpreted.' This is why people no longer believe the news, because it's fake news."
