Trump reposts quote falsely attributed to Sen. Kennedy accusing Obama of profiting from Obamacare

WBRZ is a local news outlet with staff attribution, and the story identifies the source of Kennedy’s denial. The short report offers limited evidence beyond the social media post and the outlet it quotes.
