CNN Chyron Fact Checks Eric Trump!

Eric Trump, son of Donald, was on CBS Morning News and was asked by Nora O'Donnell if his father was willing to apologize to the Khan family.

Eric responded by saying his father had apologized already, "I think he has by calling him a hero, you know." He then said the situation "was honestly blown out of proportion."

Bravo! Molto bello!

Now if we could get those chyrons to do the same for Donald Trump during one of his rallies. They did during this segment two months ago:
