Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump is facing criticism for an over-the-top claim about her father-in-law, Donald Trump.
Speaking on Newsmax on Wednesday, Trump said the former president has been under fire every day of his presidency.
“There’s never been anyone in history I don’t think that has taken as much incoming as Donald Trump,” she said, then claimed incorrectly that the former president has been “vindicated.”
Trump also claimed her father-in-law faces “nothing but misinformation and disinformation” every day, despite his own history of making 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidency, according to a Washington Post tally.
But it was her claim that no one “has taken as much incoming” as Trump that lit up social media:
Barack Obama had to release his long-form birth certificate because some racist asshole claimed he was born in Kenya. https://t.co/mTmFcvx0QI

Don’t say it, plagiarize it in a song instead.

Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy would probably disagree with this statement. https://t.co/XcwrMoNn5a

Republicans throw a pity party for Donald Trump every day! Misunderstood. Persecuted. Vilified. Some of the true believers really think he’s pure as the driven snow. It’s why we need to defeat him in a landslide. Give MAGA a beating that will knock the scales off their eyes. https://t.co/g4MjE5WnoZ
