No surprise that one liar would spread the lies of another one
Trump probably doesn’t care if it’s true or not – he just wants to make Obama look bad
This unfounded claim came up early in Trump admin. British officials angrily denied it. WH officials reportedly apologized, something Spicer denied at the briefing when he told me "I don't think we regret anything… we were just passing on news reports."https://t.co/JkWn67l48R https://t.co/yjE8XjNXdo

Wow. Just wow. Larry Johnson is the source of 3 major fake stories in the last 12 years. Now being cited as an authority by @POTUS. https://t.co/No5P594VUC

The part of this insanity that won’t get enough attention, & will go right over the heads of #Cult45 is this…

He is president of the United States. If this nonsensical allegation was remotely true, he would have access to FAR better evidence/sourcing than Larry Johnson on OANN https://t.co/i9tR5a9N3E
Larry Johnson is the guy who pushed the lie that there was a Michelle Obama “whitey” tape back in 2008. https://t.co/y2TCQkT6Iv https://t.co/8wpSu3Lxsb

Considering Larry Johnson's track record of hoaxes, is this really who the president should be quoting? https://t.co/lZZXqsdNtS

This is the same conspiracy theory that spawned an international incident with the UK when Sean Spicer falsely said they helped Obama illegally spy on Trump, because he heard Andrew Napolitano say it on Fox News, who heard it from Larry Johnson on an RT clip. pic.twitter.com/d3F2YNWsTX

Here's how Twitter uses its platform a day after Trump summoned @jack to the White House to whine about his follower count. This debunked, fabricated conspiracy theory caused an international incident in 2017, and Larry Johnson is the racist sleaze behind the "whitey tape" lie. pic.twitter.com/DoOL4FpUHE
