re: #359 retired cynic

Sorry if already posted: Holy, cow. That “young intern” so brazenly attacked by Jim Acosta in that press conference, who also was seen cleaning up the crowd behind DT at a rally? She isn’t an intern. Surprise! She is Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters, with a salary of $130,000 a year. Amazing.

Not according to Snopes:

Claim: The intern who took away Jim Acosta’s microphone at a White House Press Conference was actually Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters.

Rating: False

This claim did not originate with a news report, a press release, or someone with firsthand knowledge of the incident; rather it was based solely on the observation that the woman who took the mic from Acosta bore a passing resemblance to Walters.
