Nikki Haley SLAMMED a Washington Post reporter so hard, I didn’t even have time to get a screenshot of the offending tweet.
Here was the SLAM in question:
Unfortunate when a reporter doesn’t follow through and I have to do this:@JStein_WaPo I never said this. My team has asked you to retract this and take down your tweets. I am now respectfully asking that you follow through with what you told my team you would do. Thank you.

Apparently, Jeff Stein tweeted out this story:
The White House has declared the War on Poverty “largely over and a success.” Except it’s not. w/@JStein_WaPo https://t.co/AMrHU5zr1f

Which has now issued the following correction:
Correction: An earlier version of this story misattributed a statement to Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, that no more than 250,000 Americans are in “extreme poverty.” The statement was made by the Permanent Mission of the United States to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva.
I’ve deleted earlier tweets indicating that Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., had said only 250,000 Americans are in “extreme poverty.” The U.S. Permanent Mission to the United Nations and International Organizations in Geneva had said this.

Just an “innocent mistake,” I’m sure.
…and listen, mistakes happen.
Why is it, though, that these “innocent mistakes” always seem to hurt Trump and his team and never any Democrats?
Hmm?
Will the leftist fake news reporters ever become real journalists? WAPO and others should promote real journalism standards and investigative reporting. Drive by reporting is misleading and dishonest. Follow up apologies are insincere.

Ambassador Haley you were too kind in calling @JStein_WaPo a reporter.
