Hey ‘Fact-Checkers’ – CRAWL OUT

We’ve been talking a lot about President Trump’s fast food spread and the Clemson players’ reactions to it. Earlier today, I wrote about how Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence said it was “awesome.”

“It was awesome,” he said. “We had McDonalds and everything. It was good!”

There’s a video of him saying that exact thing. You can find it here. I put it in the original post.

Remember that.

Since then, I’ve been scrolling Twitter and noticed that someone sent me this meme:

I knew it was a fake quote the minute I read it. We all did.

Please stop spreading this around. He didn’t say it, has already SAID he didn’t say it, and I have no idea why anyone created this in the first place.

Stop spreading this. It’s fake, and he has already said it’s fake.

Is there an actual source for this quote?

For crying out loud, STOP SHARING THAT MEME PEOPLE.

I was curious to see where this OBVIOUSLY FAKE meme came from, so started doing a little research on the almighty Google machine. That’s when I ran into this article from the “fact-checking” website Truth or Fiction. Imagine my surprise upon seeing them subtly implicating COTR in spreading the fake quote. Look at the way they phrased this:

News outlets that led with news of Lawrence’s praise and a tone similar to the meme did not pick up the purported quote. Chicks on the Right and the Daily Callerreported respectively:

Butthurt resisters tried to act all offended and embarrassed. They mocked the spread, but the joke’s on them because the team LOVED IT! Clemson’s QB Trevor Lawrence said it was “awesome.”

“It was awesome,” Lawrence told us while taking pics with Clemson fans … “We had McDonalds and everything. It was good!”

Another fan asked Lawrence how many times he plans on returning to the White House — to which he replied, “Hopefully, a few more!”

Fast food FTW.

For the record, McDonald Trump is trending right now (libs are trying to act like it’s a bad, embarrassing thing) but I love it. OWN IT DONALD.

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence was all in on President Donald Trump’s choice of fast food at the White House [on January 14 2019].

The Tigers visited the president at the White House after winning the national championship, and were served a variety of fast food.

Now, that seems like an interesting decision considering how closely watched the diets of elite athletes are watched. Lawrence didn’t seem to mind at all.

“It was awesome. We had McDonald’s and everything. It was good,” Lawrence told TMZ in a video posted [the following] morning.

Although Clemson quarterback Lawrence did praise the choice of fare served at the White House during the team’s visit, the verbose quote attributed to him so far appears to exist only on one meme being passed around social media. Quotes used by Daily Caller (above) were accurate, but the meme’s quote appeared to be fabricated. We were not able to find its source.

Back it freaking UP. “News outlets that led with news of Lawrence’s praise and a tone similar to the meme did not pick up the purported quote.”

Do you see the way they worded that? I clearly didn’t use that stupid meme (I didn’t even KNOW about it until after I published the post), but I used a tone “similar to the meme” so SAME THING?

Dude. I QUOTED HIM VERBATIM. Do I need to provide a screenshot of my own post for you geniuses?

What’s the issue? What was misleading about that. I quoted him directly. There’s a VIDEO of him saying it was awesome. And if you don’t think that the team “loved” it, tell that to Clemson’s offensive lineman. I’m pretty sure we can conclude that he was “lovin’ it.”

I mean you’re not just gonna NOT eat the Big Macs stacked in a pile right? https://t.co/nsWC0ptCvi

I’m so sorry for quoting those guys DIRECTLY and NOT using that ridiculous meme, Truth or Fiction. I apologize that you feel that their DIRECT QUOTES have a tone
“similar” to the obviously fake meme. I’m also sorry you suck.
