Jeremy Konyndyk, the former Biden administration official who now leads Refugees International, said in a post on X that because USAID procures condoms for “around $0.05 apiece” the $50m figure quoted by the Trump officials and the president would amount to a purchase of one billion condoms.
Now you choose to fact check, after taking an absolute shit on one of your veteran reporters for telling the truth and firing others for doing so? After the sanewashing swill you forced everyone in your employ to parrot to please your ownership in the six months leading up to the elections?
Biggest waste of taxpayer money is demanding 'H U N D R E D S OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR "A I" WHICH IS DEVELOPED TO MAKE OUR FELLOW AMERICANS 'JOBLESS', VIA REPLACING THEM EVERYWHERE EVEN IN RADIO STATION HOSTING! They'd simply buy $50 MILLION worth food, instead of trying saving it for AI CRAP!
U can’t believe 1 word spoken by #DonaldTrump or from Press Secretary. These ppl say BS & it’s reported by mainstream press. Not 1 WH reporter challenges their absurd statement thus spreading their lies mainstream.
#WHPressCorpFailsAmerica
They’re #YellowJournalist & should not report WH lies!
They don’t care. They said it, the people who believe everything they say will rely on it, and anybody who tried to prove otherwise will be accused of using fake legacy media lies to disparage them.
It would cut ‘em to the core if after a stupid ass statements like that, the entire press group would just get up and walk out.
MSNBC or any other reputable news outlet would love to have you. Call it what it is, CNN.
A BIG LIE.
#dontgiveup
China and other countries will surely try to fill the void that the US is creating and the US will loose all credibility for the years to come. That is how empires disappear….
Why won't the media take the gloves off and call out LIES for LIES? Is it a liability concern? "Why to be skeptical?" We're not talking about the alcohol content of Chablis here.
CNN, you are a joke. No one believes you and your outrageous broadcasting. Of course, it's a lie! Trump is lying every time his mouth moves, and your reporting suggests that Americans be "skeptical". CNN should stand for cowards with no nuts!
Ok CNN
I watch the press secretary conference on your network. She said 50million for Condos
But Trump did say condoms. Then he said it would have been used for bombs. Now I guess you would need to ask Stormy Daniel’s how you can convert condoms into bombs.
I have a better question for you. Why are you repeating anything said at the White House press conference? Everything is lies. All of it. Stop spreading misinformation. We don’t need to know what BS was said. We really don’t need to know. Stop. For the love of god just stop.
CNN: In a speech to constituents, Immortan Joe warned onlookers not to “become addicted to water.” Here are 5 reasons to be skeptical that is possible.
Also never saw you fact check the big faucet that Canada turns off by turning a big wheel on the wall.
Yes, you know he said that while campaigning in california 2024.
🤦♀️
Yep. They give them a feel good headline that is typically a lie and then the article offers zero information that actually corroborates their point. It’s disgusting because usually they don’t even take time to read it. If you argue or present ANY evidence proving them wrong…they won’t read it.
Why can’t you just say that they’re lying? If it’s a lie, call it a lie. If you are trying to teach the public how to be skeptical of the things this administration will try to like to them about then say that. This is wishy washy and weird.
@cnn.com I had to report this post to the mods. I don't generally agree with the toxic spam in the comments here, but these bullshit fairytales belongs in The Onion, not the news. Don't help them blur the news by filling it with shit like this.
I should think this is the last thing on the minds of the Gazans, at the moment they are currently looking for dead members of their families and searching through the rubble looking in vain for their old life before they got invaded by psychopaths, not sure they ll be worrying about condoms!
Meanwhile one of the current rightwing Muslim panics is that they're "outbreeding" other religions and cultures with a plan to take over. So wouldn't condoms be a good thing?
"A former senior Biden official who worked on Gaza aid issues told CNN that Leavitt’s story abt a $50 million condom expenditure for Gaza was “imaginary.” The former official said: “It’s a lie, they are making s*** up.”
The lying trump cultists continue to lie unceasingly, grotesquely,& massively
CNN.....Who writes the headline. The content is great work and clearly establishes this as a pack of lies not "reasons to be skeptical". It matters!! many don't get beyond the headline.....
Dear CNN, Trump not only claimed the US was sending millions of dollars in condoms to Gaza, he wanted Americans to believe they were weaponized and turned into bombs…. If you can’t describe this for what it is, you are sane washing Trump’s craziness.
Fix your headline, 5 reasons this bat shit story is a lie! You all have to do better. Stop “both siding” things. Call them out when the lie! Stand up! Meet the moment!
It's an outright lie. Do your job. I thought y'all like using words such as disinformation. The White House literally lied, so you can say disinformation, it would be appropriate 😒
What’s with the bullshit framing of this? You know it’s emphatically not true. Just say it. Pretend Joe Biden is the President and frame it how you would for him.
Asking for several friends:
Is there any punishment/sanction for laughing out loud at a White House press conference?
Or do you just not get invited back ever again?
Skepticism is healthy, especially when it comes to billion-dollar decisions. It might be worthwhile to consider who benefits from the narrative. Transparency in funding and the impact of such an allocation should be the real focus—let's unpack the motives behind the headlines.
I personally have no evidence of fact to this report one way or the other. But if I just use my common sense, this looks and sounds like “fake news” or straight up propaganda to keep the maga base resentful/angry and they buy into this bullshit every time! Hence the regular “cult” references🤦🏻♂️
@CNN how about stating the truth. Are you afraid to admit it’s nonsense and that the “trump white house” is lying? Grow a pair. You owe it to the American people, and the world, to boldly state the truth. FACTS MATTER! TRUTH MATTERS!
Comments
“Falsehoods” or “skeptical” were fun for a week in 2016 at most. These are intentional, ignorant, lying subhumans.
Facts, evidence and reality is fun

Let's demonstrate the cross she wears is all for show.
Trump is a BIG FAT LIAR. He LIES like he breathes. He MAKES SHIT UP.
He's dumb as dirt and believes anything anyone tells him if they suck up enough. Oh wait, that's two reasons....
Get a fucking grip CNN.
Lather, rinse, repeat…
That’s what they are doing.
If you’d said that from the beginning, do you think we’d still be where we are now?
MSNBC or any other reputable news outlet would love to have you. Call it what it is, CNN.
A BIG LIE.

I’m not a bomb expert, can anyone describe how deadly a condom bomb is?
Mother of god!
Build it and ye shall come!
Thank you for attending.
There. I fixed your headline you useless oligarchy-owned media.

Any ideas anyone?
Recall fact checking on Harris and Trump’s acceptance speeches. Harris slammed for 12 misrepresentations, Trump 164!!
Stop with the false equivalency that all politicians lie.
Do better CNN.
The end
Is there any punishment/sanction for laughing out loud at a White House press conference?
Or do you just not get invited back ever again?
2. Because it’s a lie.
3. Because it’s a lie.
4. Because it’s a lie.
5. Because it’s a lie.
bunch of goddamn clowns masquerading as journalists
