PBS Journo Yamiche Alcindor Gaslights the Hell Out of Trump's Overnight Speech, Gets Called Out Big Time

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor has become infamous in conservative circles for being one of the most dishonest journalists in the White House press corps. She’s been repeatedly called out for her gotcha-style liberally biased “reporting” and performance journalism during press briefings, as well as for flat out altering quotes from President Trump to deliberately make it look like he said something he didn’t.

The latest instance of Alcindor lying to readers came in the overnight hours when President Trump gave his remarks on what was happening in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan where it seemed as though the ballot-counting had stopped at a certain point as Trump had the lead.

“We want all voting to stop,” Trump stated. “We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.”

But instead of reporting that Trump said he wanted the “all voting to stop”, Alcindor reported that he said he wanted “ALL vote counting” to stop:

President Trump says he will be going to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop ALL vote counting across the country.

“As far as I am concerned, we have already won,” Trump says.

*This is stunning and a nightmare scenario.*

I was half asleep at the time I watched the speech, but I was almost certain this was not what was said:

WTH? I thought he said he wanted to stop the post-election *voting*, not counting. Is Yamiche gaslighting here? https://t.co/IRgzwLIoiO

Other Twitter users including RS editor at large Kira Davis confirmed it as well:

This is a lie. @TwitterSupport we need a fact check. https://t.co/gMfCz5E0vT

No. He didn’t say that. https://t.co/IIkcdszTdW https://t.co/Y3wZOhNCpy

*Stop voting, not stop vote counting. @Yamiche is spreading dangerous lies. https://t.co/2r4hbO0vLb

This is a lie. He said all voting…stopping extraneous votes not vote counting.

This is too important to get wrong. https://t.co/4uGPCogfeE

That is literally the opposite of what he said. He'd go to SCOTUS to stop new votes from being added, not counting of the votes cast.

And not only was Alcindor spreading the lie that Trump said he would go to the SCOTUS to “stop ALL vote counting“, but Biden officials were doing so as well:

Statement from Biden campaign manager @jomalleydillon: "The president’s statement tonight about trying to shut down the counting of duly cast ballots was outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect."

— Henry J. Gomez (@HenryJGomez) November 4, 2020

"If the president makes good on his threat to go to court to try to prevent the proper tabulation of votes, we have legal teams standing by ready to deploy to resist that effort," @jomalleydillon adds. "And they will prevail."

— Henry J. Gomez (@HenryJGomez) November 4, 2020

Except, again, Trump wasn’t talking about stopping votes from being counted. He didn’t want any added after they shouldn’t be, as Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro emphasized:

That is a lie. He said, "We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list, okay?" In other words, he doesn't want people VOTING after election day, or fraudulent ballots delivered. Which is the law. https://t.co/hlIGtHkm89

As of this writing, Alcindor’s tweet is still up – because she never deletes tweets even when she’s been shown to be straight-up lying. So much for journalistic integrity.

For all the talk from media figures and political analysts about how Trump allegedly lit a powder keg with his overnight speech, it’s kinda odd that not a single MSM reporter saw fit to correct Alcindor’s false tweet and the Biden campaign’s equally dishonest claims, both of which fueled the fire far more than anything Trump could possibly say about the Democratic shenanigans that took place last night.
