MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle was forced to apologize to Tulsi Gabbard
after falsely claiming the Director of National Intelligence praised the
'good friendship' between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Appearing on her 11th Hour show on Tuesday, Ruhle delivered the apology
live on air after repeating what Gabbard's office called 'literal fake
news' during the previous episode.
'Last night we reported on excerpts of an interview between the Director
of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and an Indian TV news network
in which she said that Trump was good friends with a world leader,'
Ruhle said.
'We said that world leader was Vladimir Putin. The full interview shows
that Gabbard was referring to Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi.
We've cleared that up.'
Guest host Ali Velshi made a similar apology during an episode of The
Last Word.
Their apologies followed the Associated Press deleting 'erroneous
reporting' in a story by David Klepper titled: 'Gabbard Says Trump and
Putin are "Very Good Friends" Focused on Strengthening Ties'.
The report was changed to remove the false statement with the editor's
note: 'This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous
reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “are very
good friends".'
'Gabbard was actually talking about Trump and Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi,' the outlet has since added to the bottom of the article.
The headline has since been changed to: 'Gabbard says Trump is "looking
forward to success" ahead of talk with Putin.'
