  • On 5 July 2016, the web site Behold a Pale Horse published an article reporting that President Obama had told the Washington Post that Americans would be better off under martial law: Predictably, no link was provided to the purported Washington Post article, nor was the reporter with whom the President was joking around named: According to Behold a Pale Horse, President Obama made additional comments that were unsuitable for print by any news outlet, but the martial law aspect of his purported remarks was sufficient to turn heads all by itself. However, the direct quote attributed to President Obama appeared only on Behold a Pale Horse and forum posts linking to that site, and no references the supposedly shocking statement issued by President Obama existed online prior to late June 2016. We searched the archives of the Washington Post to see if President Obama had made any comments about martial law in June or July of 2016 (or ever) that were published in that newspaper, but we were unable to find any content that even marginally matched the circulating report. According to a single-source claim, President Obama's martial law remarks appear[ed] in the Washington Post. However, no link to any such extraordinarily newsworthy statement was included in the claim, and a comprehensive search of the newspaper's archive reveals no relevant content suggesting the President said any such thing.
