Fake News: Golden State Warriors Have Not Refused White House Visit
I’ve seen this repeated countless times today on social media from verified, and unverified accounts alike.
A tweet claiming that the NBA champion Golden State Warriors would refuse to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House went viral Tuesday, despite presenting zero evidence.

The problem is, no one knows where the story originates from. Who’s the source?
KPIX 5 got a press release from the Warriors saying that they hadn’t even received an invite yet.
