One Nation lies about Trump invite, gets caught out, cries 'fake news' [View all]

Australia's very own Trumpette, bogan Pauline Hanson, has been caught out lying outright about One Nation's invitation to Trump's Inauguration.

"After the Department of Foreign Affairs revealed One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts had begged the Australian embassy for tickets to Donald Trump’s inauguration, One Nation senators declared they had never claimed to have been invited (despite several times boasting they had been invited on social media posts that have not been removed).

The news came in a tweet from Pauline Hanson on Monday, where she said she had been “gifted tickets to the Presidential Inauguration Ceremony” of Donald Trump.

“What an honour!” she tweeted.

"Sovereign Citizen and Trump fanboy Senator Malcolm Roberts tweeted gloatingly that he and Hanson “received an invitation but not the Prime Minister. OUCH”.

"When it became known that Roberts had not, in fact, been invited to attend but had begged to go, Roberts cried “fake news” at any outlet reporting it, further devaluing an already overused phrase. Roberts, who one person on Twitter suggested was supposed to hold anti-semantic views, mounted an argument of semantics, claiming “received an invite” and “invited” were two different things, even though the empirical evidence confirms One Nation had initially claimed both."
