Trump's Helicopter Tale: Fact-Check and Confusion

Former President Donald Trump mistakenly recounted a helicopter ride incident involving Willie Brown during a press conference. Trump's tale, meant to connect to Vice President Kamala Harris, was incorrect as it was former Governor Jerry Brown in the helicopter. No emergency landing or disparaging remarks about Harris occurred.

Former President Donald Trump erroneously attributed a helicopter ride experience to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown during a recent press conference.

Trump's story, filled with inaccuracies, claimed an emergency landing in a chopper ride with Brown, which never happened. In truth, it was former California Governor Jerry Brown who accompanied Trump in a 2018 helicopter journey to survey wildfire damage, with no reported issues.

The mix-up fueled discussions about Harris's past and Trump's political tactics. However, Brown firmly denied any helicopter ride or negative commentary on Harris, emphasizing his respect for her.
