New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman accused President Trump of attacking LGBTQ rights during his entire term in the White House, but it was soon revealed that she did not always feel that way.
Haberman’s latest story, “After three years of attacking LGBTQ rights, Trump suddenly tries to run away,” Trump said “was almost completely silent” about important LGBTQ achievements that have occurred recently, such as a Supreme Court ruling offering workplace protection for gays and transgender people, the fifth anniversary of a marriage equality ruling, and a rally in Brooklyn in support of Black transgender people.

“There was no tweet in honor of Pride Month, despite suggestions from several assistants to Mr. Trump that he write one,” Haberman added.
‘This is a lie and Maggie knows it’s a lie. Trump’s history of being pro-gay goes back to long before Biden thought he was a political winner, ”conservative strategist Chris Barron, who is openly gay, responded on Twitter when he shared Haberman’s latest piece.
Journalist Chad Felix Greene then responded with a story that the same reporter wrote not too long ago.
In 2016, before Trump won the GOP nomination, Haberman wrote a story that was discovered to point out the hypocrisy of her latest piece. Headlined, “Donald Trump’s more accepting views on gay issues distinguished him in GOP,” Haberman wrote as “Trump is much more accepting of sexual minorities” than former Republican leaders.

“It is his views on gay rights and gay people that distinguish Mr. Trump most from former Republican standard bearers. He has cherished long friendships with gay people, employed gay workers in prominent positions, and moved easily into sectors where.” Homosexuals have long had an influence, such as entertainment, “Haberman wrote in April 2016.
In the four-year report, Trump’s “history with the gay community lasted a long time. He donated to charity focused on the AIDS crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s,” and that living in New York City put him on ‘convenience on homosexual people.’
Barron told Fox News that Haberman is throwing up readers when asked to elaborate on his first tweet.

“In 2016, she wrote a story about how good Trump was about LGBT issues because she thought that story hurt him in the GOP primary. Now she hosts readers and pretends she never wrote that story, to “she thinks this new story hurts Trump,” Barron said. “The only thing that is consistent here is her desire to harm Trump.”
“She calls Trump transaction on LGBT rights. Transactional is what Biden, Obama and Hillary did about LGBT rights. Against them opposed when it was a political winner,” Barron added. “Switch to support them when. it was politically beneficial to do so. “
Haberman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
