Associated Press Retracts False Report on Tulsi Gabbard's Comments

The AP admitted to erroneously attributing remarks about Trump and Putin to Gabbard, later clarifying her statement was about Trump and Modi.

The Associated Press published and later retracted a story falsely claiming Tulsi Gabbard referred to Trump and Putin as 'very good friends.'
Gabbard's actual comments, made during her trip to India, highlighted the strong relationship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The AP issued a correction, acknowledging the error and updating the story to reflect the accurate context of Gabbard's remarks.
Conservative media and officials criticized the AP's mistake as indicative of media bias and a broader pattern of errors targeting conservatives.
Despite the retraction, the original false story remains accessible on some syndicated platforms, raising concerns about the persistence of misinformation.
