Fake News: Media Reports That Muslim Olympian Was Detained Because of Trump's Travel Ban

[Geee]

PJ Media:

Nothing triggers liberal mainstream media types more than being accused of being purveyors of "fake news." But stunningly enough, that hasn't stopped them from...well...being purveyors of fake news.

 

The latest example features Ibtihaj Muhammad, the New Jersey native who recently became the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal for the United States. Muhammad, a vocal Trump critic, answered a journalist's question with so much ambiguity it seemed designed to be deceptive. Regardless, several major media outlets jumped on her story without verifying it and now have egg all over their faces.

 

Via the Washington Examiner:

 

Muhammad, a lifelong American citizen, claimed in an interview Tuesday that she was detained "just a few weeks ago" by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. She said she was held for a few hours without explanation.
