DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?
1. California governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have outlawed caste discrimination in the state.
2. After Donald Trump called Nikki Haley a “birdbrain,” a birdcage and bird food were delivered to Haley’s hotel room with a label that said “From Trump campaign.”
3. Trump denied that he ever appointed the “birdbrain” as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
4. An Indian American climate activist caused a50- minute disruption at a U.S. Open tennis match by gluing his feet to the stadium floor.
5. Congressman Shri Thanedar announced the formation of the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain American Congressional Caucus.
(1, 2, 4 and 5 really happened.)
