CNN Steps On A Rake After ‘Fact-Checking’ Trump’s ‘
Transgender Mice’ Funding Claim
CNN issued a correction after the network inaccurately asserted (LIED) that President Donald Trump “falsely claimed” the Biden administration spent $8 million to make mice transgender.
During his joint address to Congress on Tuesday, Trump cited several examples of “appalling waste” he had cut, including $8.2 million in NIH-funded studies on “gender-affirming” hormone treatments mice. CNN’s Deidre McPhillips initially
tried to dispute the claim, arguing only about $500,000 had been allocated for similar research in monkeys — she was later forced to issue a
correction after the White House proved CNN’s “fact check” inaccurate in a
statement.
