  • On 16 January 2017, Politicops.com, a fake news web site associated with the hybrid news/satire platform Newslo, posted a report stating that Rep. Chris Collins (R-New York), a member of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, had compared Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia), a hero of the civil rights movement who has suggested that Trump's presidency may not be legitimate, to a spoiled chimp that got too many bananas and rights: None of these blatantly racist remarks were actually uttered by Collins, however. The majority of the Politicops article is a satirical (i.e., fabricated) spoof of statements Collins did make during a television interview in which he characterized Lewis as a spoiled child who was only pouting because Trump won the election: Per the standard operating procedure of Newslo and related sites, only the first paragraph of the Politicops article (not quoted above) contains any factual information.
