SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYCrooks and Liars is a blog with an attributed author, but this piece is highly opinionated and relies largely on social media posts rather than reported sourcing. Its presentation offers little evidence of the editorial safeguards associated with established newsrooms.
- Source type — Blog publisher; editorial credibility is less established than that of a major newsroom.
- Editorial standards — The article uses strongly opinionated language and provides little evidence of independent reporting.
- Author attribution — The post is attributed to NewsHound Ellen.
The article reproduces the relevant social media statements and points out factual inconsistencies, but its commentary is openly derisive and it offers little independent sourcing or substantive context.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The piece is a critical commentary that emphasizes perceived errors and contradiction in Trump’s post, without seeking his explanation or including an independent counterperspective.
- Loaded language — The author calls the post crazy, nonsensical, and inexplicable.
- Opinion vs reporting — Personal judgments and rhetorical speculation frame the account.
- Source diversity — The account centers on social media posts and does not include a response or explanation from Trump.
The author repeatedly describes Trump’s post as crazy or nonsensical and closes with a personal suggestion that he has “lost his last marble.” The framing is strongly critical of Trump.
- Language tone — Uses disparaging descriptions, including “crazy” and “nonsensical.”
- Framing — Frames the post as inexplicable and absurd, with no countervailing interpretation.
- Headline — The headline presents the praise as noteworthy because Crockett’s last name apparently rings a bell.
Donald Trump praised Representative Jasmine Crockett in a Truth Social post, despite having criticized her previously. Crockett responded that she would remain in office and continue her work for the American people.
Trump’s post described Davy Crockett as a distant relative of Jasmine Crockett and said he would be proud of her political success. The article questions the post’s accuracy, noting that the image showed actor Fess Parker playing Daniel Boone and that no documented genealogical connection between the two Crocketts was identified. It also recalls Trump’s earlier insults about the congresswoman.
Crockett responded that Trump was “clearly already missing me” and said she would remain in office until January and continue working on behalf of the American people. The author characterizes Trump’s post as nonsensical and speculates about why he praised Crockett.
