Late Wednesday night, Donald Trump's presidential campaign released a list of speakers for next week's Republican National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Being the showman that he is, Trump's list unsurprisingly included a number of celebrities, like former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, who Trump's campaign team was confirming on various airwaves Thursday.
All of this was news to Tebow, however. Upon his return from the Philippines. The college football television analyst took to Facebook to dispel what he called "a rumor." Here's a look at the video Tebow posted, courtesy of News Express:
Trump's campaign has been accused of circulating disinformation in the past, but this has to be embarrassing. Tebow, an outspoken Christian, is a hero to the religious community, and Trump is banking on support from Evangelicals to win November's presidential election. So far, they haven't let Trump, turning out in big numbers for him in GOP primary elections, but this is surely disappointing for them.
