Trump Clowned Over Big Boastful Reply To Michigan Voter's Job Question: 'I Was Honored'
HuffPost
Critics mocked the GOP nominee for getting hit with an "insane amount of fact checks" over his debunked claim at a town hall-style event.
Donald Trump boasted and turned to his baseless false claim that he won a “Man of the Year” award in Michigan after a voter in the state asked him how he plans to protect U.S. jobs at a town hall-style campaign event on Friday.
The GOP nominee, in an event moderated by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), remarked on himself after hearing from someone named Ashley who identified herself as an employee at a Chrysler auto plant in the battleground state.
“With many jobs being outsourced as we speak, what actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America so we can continue to build the best cars in the world here in Michigan,” asked the voter at the event in Warren, Michigan.
“So pretty much as we’ve been saying and what I want to do is that I want to be able to — look, your business — years ago, in this area, I was honored as the man of the year,” said Trump as he revived a long-debunked claim.
“It was maybe 20 years ago, oh, and the fake news heard about it, they said it never happened, it never happened.”
