"Where is this river?" Kayleigh loses it when reporter asks about Trump story "ballots in a river"

“In this particular statement, who is ‘they’ who found those ballots and where is this river?” he asked.

“The local authorities and it was a ditch in Wisconsin!” she snapped back, before accusing him of “missing the forest through the trees” by asking her to verify the president’s claims.

“I like to report accurately in the news,” Decker shot back. “When the president says ‘they found a lot of ballots in a river,’ I simply want to know where the river is.”


"Missing the forest for the trees?" No Kayleigh, more like missing the river for the ditch!

ABC debunked several of Trump's debate lies including the one about ballots dumped in rivers. The incident Trump was referring to was case of mail being dumped in Wisconsin but ABC showed Wisconsin official verifying that there were no election ballots or ballot requests whatsoever in the improperly dumped mail.
