Kermit gosnell as surprise dnc speaker

Claim: Incarcerated former abortion provider Kermit Gosnell made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention. On 28 July 2016, the fake news site _Babylon Bee_ published an

article claiming Kermit Gosnell (currently in prison for life) was a surprise speaker at the Democratic National Convention (DNC): > Rumors had been floating around the 2016 Democratic 

National > Convention all week about a “special surprise speaker” set to > address the crowd on its final day. That speaker turned out to be > Kermit Gosnell, infamous abortion

on three counts of first-degree murder and related charges, was not a speaker at the event due to the fact that he remained incarcerated. Prominent abortion opponent Jill Stanek boosted the

fallacious claim: Readers who bothered to click through and scroll down to the bottom of the article would have noted the disclaimer displayed on every page of the _Babylon Bee_: > The
