Chelsea Clinton tweeted out two fake news stories in the past few days, one of which she later acknowledged was false while the other about an abortion law in Arkansas she continued to defend as fact.
Clinton sent out one story on Wednesday that described how climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is "disappearing" from its website, in an apparent swipe at President Donald Trump, who has questioned the existence of climate change.
The second story discussed a new law in Arkansas that would, according to Clinton's retweet from Saturday, allow rapists to sue victims who get an abortion.
Both stories have since been proven false, and the Daily Caller‘s Chuck Ross called out Clinton for promoting the stories.
The story that Clinton sent out on Twitter misrepresents the Arkansas law, according to the fact check.
Clinton retweeted the two fake news stories despite her mother, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, calling fake news an "epidemic" in December."Let me just mention briefly one threat in particular that should concern all Americans," Hillary Clinton said at an event honoring now retired Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.).
The "epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda" could have "real-world consequences," she said, adding that "this isn't about politics or partisanship."
