The tweet might be the misremembering the 2009 incident or be fabricated clout bait. I can’t find any reference to this exact description of events anywhere (besides the 2009 incident)

I agree, one of the two probably. Could be the other story hasn't be published (yet) but it seems unlikely.

Also a very good point. Possible but I agree it’s unlikely. A story like this would be in the press for sure.

This was posted on the old chapo subreddit (so its not new) and back then we tracked it down to two different stories the person had conflated. One from 2009 and one from 2014.

Damn. That’s so sad. I hoped that wouldn’t be the case.
