AP Reports Truth About Narco-Terrorist Boats Is More ‘Nuanced’ Than Trump Says (Then Proves Him Right) – Twitchy

November 8, 2025

When it comes to fact checks from outlets like The Associated Press, Byron York has pointed out that whenever you see the word “nuanced” used in a story about something the Trump administration is doing, that is very telling.

In this case the AP fact check is about who and what is on the boats that have been destroyed:

“He was not a narco terrorist. He was merely narco terrorist-adjacent.”

Nobody said they were ‘leaders’ of a cartel.

What a nonsense red herring

“Nonsense red herring” is the AP’s middle name!
