Trump Campaign Staffer Claims 'Twitter Is Lying,' Says President Never Tweeted 'Go Back'

A Trump 2020 campaign director claimed the president did not tell several U.S.-born Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to their native countries — by re-sharing the exact tweet in which the president wrote those very words.

Matt Wolking ,Deputy Director of Communications at Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., claimed Sunday afternoon that Twitter was "lying" and that President Donald Trump had not, in fact, suggested just hours earlier that several progressive House Democrats should go back to their "crime infested" countries of origin. Trump administration critics immediately called out what appears to be a blatant attempt by a staffer to cover up Trump's own very public, harsh words.

"Anyone who says the president told members of Congress to go back to where they came from is lying. He told them to, 'Then come back and show us how it is done,'" Wolking tweeted Sunday, showing a screenshot of Trump's earlier Sunday tweets.

"So @TwitterMoments is lying," Wolking continued, claiming the social media platform's news feature was surfacing words other than the president's own. "Fake news @pbump wrong again," he tweeted later Sunday afternoon.

Because Trump's tweet couldn't have said what you are trying to make other people think it said. The progressive congresswomen are indeed showing your boss how to govern in a more equitable, constitutional, and just fashion. Your boss just doesn't want to hear it, so he told them to go back where they came from. Your attempt at gaslighting was pretty pathetic. Next time ask Trump directly how to do it, so you don't embarrass yourself like you are embarrassing yourself today.

Sad!
