    My recollection is that Trump *immediately* rebranded "fake news," but Rs have fumbled around trying to rebrand "Big Lie." Josh Hawley tried to call criticism of the Georgia voting law "the Big Lie" and I bet this is the first you're hearing about it.https://twitter.com/KagroX/status/1397600261368057863 …

    This is exactly what Trump did with “Fake News.” The term originally referred to the websites run by various Eastern Europeans, which fabricated pro-Trump (and anti-Clinton) news as clickbait. But then Trump started adopting the term, and applied it to… actual news. https://twitter.com/tzimmer_history/status/1397185665155190787 …

        When the ADL ordered its branches to coordinate a tweet campaign against me and sent out sample tweets for them to copy, they were told to call me 'fake news.' Ppl have memory-holed a lot of this.

        Hawley just needs to say “They’re calling it the big lie” 10,000 times - that’s what Trump would do

        I don't think it was quite "immediate" but it was very fast. Probably over the course of a couple months, if that.

        Trump trying to rebrand big lie as being about how the media claims the election wasn't stolen (as opposed to his actual lie about it being stolen) was the thing that set off the back and forth that led to the Liz Cheney vote.

        Also, Trump might have had a bigger platform then because of Twitter and the MSM was amplifying him to a greater extent than they are now? Not sure if this is right but think so?

        I mean, I'm pretty sure @ArthurDelaneyHP did a story on it. But fair point for those that don't follow Delaney.

        Hawley and others tried to call incorrect statements about the Georgia voting law a big lie and this is a helpful reminder that that didn’t catch on. It was a deliberate effort by Big Lie propagates to trivialize the criticism of them. I don’t think it worked!

        Not at the top of their game. Grade school smart alecks would have been calling Biden an insurrectionist and a cultist by January 10th.
