Whelan: Attention Alexa Users

Recently I was able to successfully correct Alexa on the subject of Trump’s felony convictions (34 counts, New York State Court, May 2024) and, in civil court, liable for sexual abuse against a woman (E. Jean Carroll. Federal Court, New York, May 2023). Previously, Alexa had denied that Trump had ever been found guilty of a felony, or of sexual abuse. Alexa should have been ashamed of him/herself to begin with, but at least he/she accepts corrections based on facts when they are cited. Which is more than Trump does.
