Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

No. Trump is an inveterate liar. His statements should never be put in headlines. News outlets must find out what actually occurred, put that in the headline, and then put Trump statements, with fact checks, at the end of the article. apple.news/AGkI8kRVEQC6...
