Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said that President Donald Trump had used a false quote to push a baseless claim about former President Barack Obama making money off of his signature health care legislation.

In a Truth Social post on Monday night, Trump shared the claim that Kennedy was "now publicly demanding that Barack Hussein Obama return $120 million that he allegedly earned through ownership related to 'Obamacare.'"

"He allocated money under his own laws using taxpayer-generated prestige," the fake quote said. "There's nothing ethical or legal about this."

Is it possible Raw story is getting cyber attacked?

3. CNN finally had a story on this tweet a thon but you have to scroll down for a long time.

It's on the website so I have no idea if dear Jake and Co. have mentioned it. Why have libel laws that allow for this sludge? I could see President Obama saying "Thanks for the compliment." every time djt spits out HUSSEIN.
