New York Post and Washington Examiner fall for Tom Brady Twitter hoax
Cockburn doesn't pay all much attention to football, but he was surprised to read on Wednesday that former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he was 'tired' of people criticizing Donald Trump. 'The guy is doing his best to help the country. I'd like to see his critics try to do better in his position,' Brady supposedly said, according to reports in the New York Post and Washington Examiner. Cockburn saw several MAGA people sharing the quote victoriously on Twitter, but is at pains to inform them that it is a spoof. Brady, who is headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming NFL season (whenever that is), did give a candid interview about Trump to Howard Stern this morning.
