pushing a false narrative

A phrase created by activist Reena Walker and first used in her group Progressive Black Thinkers on Facebook and then picked up by political writers and producers in the news media that were group members. It means to convey a story that isn't real but to characterize it as if it is by creating a false story behind the situation in order to make it factual, when the history itself never happened.

Donald Trump is pushing a false narrative that the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt created by the Democratic party, even though Mueller is a Republican.
