Detroit Free Press refutes Stephen Colbert's claim Tudor Dixon 'made up' person cited in debate: 'He's real'
CBS host Stephen Colbert was hit with a fact-check after he mocked Republican Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon for alleging she had "made up" a story she shared at a debate.
"Colbert then played a clip of Dixon saying, "I had a gentleman come up to me just a few nights ago and he said, ‘I found content in my school library describing how to have sex to my son.’"
"Okay, fine, ‘that happened,’" Colbert quipped using air quotes."
All his staff had to do was perform a search and they would have known it's the truth. Now they have egg on their face.
"Except that did happen, according to the Free Press.
"A Dearborn resident whose existence was doubted by comedian Stephen Colbert during a monologue last week has a message for the CBS late night host: I am real and so is my switch to the Republican Party," Free Press reporter Niraj Warikoo began his report Wednesday."
Talk about disinformation...
