Martha Stewart mistakenly referred to journalist Andrea Peyser as "dead" during her Netflix documentary, despite Peyser being alive. Peyser, who covered Stewart's 2004 trial, responded humorously to the error, expressing sadness over Stewart's apparent bitterness. The reason behind Stewart's misstatement remains unclear.
President Joe Biden misstated key details about his uncle's death in World War II while honoring his wartime service and criticizing Donald Trump's fitness to lead the military. Biden's account of his uncle's death and the circumstances surrounding it did not align with the U.S. government's records, and he also misstated when his uncles enlisted in the military. The misstatements came as Biden aimed to draw a contrast with reports of Trump disparaging fallen service members, which Trump has denied.
Former US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, stated that US forces "need to align" with Russia and other countries in order to combat terrorism and other global threats.
