CNN senior political commentator and former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger fell for a fake social media post on Wednesday that purported to show former President Donald Trump raging at his ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

“OH MEADOWS TURNED,” tweeted Kinzinger, who posted a screenshot of the supposed Trump submit:

WHEN MARK MEADOWS CAME CRAWLING TO ME WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES, SAYING SIR I NEED A JOB PLEASE HELP ME, I FELT VERY SORRY FOR HIM. I KNEW HE WAS STRONGLY HATED BY MOST OF HIS FELLOW CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS, BUT I HAD JUST FIRED MY PREVIOUS CHIEF OF STAFF, LIKE A DOG, SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MARK AUDITION FOR THE JOB, APPRENTICE STYLE. HOW DID HE THANK ME? BY HIRING VISCOUS RINOS & RATS WHO TURNED AND THROUGH ME UNDER THE BUS WITH THE RADICAL COMMUNISTS OF THE J6 COMMITTEE AND THEN A MAD DOG LEFTIST PROSECUTOR. I WAS GOING TO FIRE MARK IN 2021 BUT THE ELECTION WAS STOLLEN FROM ME!

Kinzinger posted the rant on Twitter:

Whereas a snappy perusal of Trump’s Actuality Social page on Wednesday showed other rants in all-caps, together with an edited video of rival Chris Christie launching his presidential marketing campaign at an all-you-can-eat buffet, the supposed diatribe put up may no longer be seen and seems pretend.

After social media users cited that the alleged Trump rant looked to be faux, Kinzinger deleted his post.

Sir, I’m lovely positive that’s faux

“Deleted the very believable however possibly false truth social put up by way of Trump,” wrote Kinzinger in a follow up submit. “We can have to look if Meadows became or now not.”

Deleted the very believable but presumably false fact social put up by Trump.

We will be able to have to see if Meadows became or now not.

Alternatively, afterward Wednesday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough also posted the identical pretend Trump rant.

Kinzinger — who accused billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk of spreading “absolute misinformation” in February — has prior to now amplified faux news on the social community.

In February 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kinzinger fell for a parody publish which falsely identified American comedian Sam Hyde because the “Ukrainian Ace-fighter Pilot often called the ‘Ghost of Kyiv.’” For years, pranksters have jokingly recognized Hyde because the perpetrator in the back of a few shootings and terrorist attacks — pranks which participants of the media and even lawmakers have repeatedly fallen for.
