In a response to Lara Trump, Politico’s Jake Sherman wants everyone to know that after Richard Nixon’s landslide win in 1972 where he won 49 states and 60+% of the popular vote, he was impeached:

Nixon won 49 states and he was impeached. https://t.co/EyPHiQvKi9 — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) September 29, 2019

This is, of course, not true as Nixon was never impeached:

How the hell do reporters not know Nixon wasn't impeached? https://t.co/Z2IcZbjYST — Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) September 29, 2019

Hours later, Sherman issued this clarification:

To clarify: the house did not vote to impeach Nixon. They started the process and he resigned. — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) September 29, 2019

Just take the L:

That's not a clarification. You were just plain wrong. https://t.co/s4xVvBshXU — Hey, guys (@jtLOL) September 29, 2019

Hillary Clinton was elected president in 2016. To clarify: Hillary Clinton was not elected president in 2016. She ran for president and lost the election. — Jeff Dobbs (@jeffdobbs) September 29, 2019

Why is it so hard for “journalists” to get basic facts straight? Stupidity? Confirmation bias? All of the above? — sam henry (@gubanok) September 29, 2019

That’s called a correction, not a clarification. — Snowdog (@kmbinch) September 29, 2019

You tried to dunk on her and the ball bounced up and got stuck in the rafters. Just move on. — Hey, guys (@jtLOL) September 29, 2019
