Former President Donald Trump made misleading claims in his CNN town hall event Wednesday night, and host Kaitlan Collins also made a misleading remark. See potential biases and similarities in reports from cnn, breitbart and factcheckdotorg:
CLAIM: During CNN’s Wednesday town hall with Donald Trump, moderator Kaitlan Collins claimed there have been “more than 200 mass shootings in 2023.”
VERDICT: False, as long as one adheres to the standard definition of a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more individuals were killed by one attacker in one incident. On May 7, 2023, Breitbart News noted that President Joe Biden made the same claim as Collins, and on May 8, 2023, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeated it.
