19. Fake news. No such meeting was scheduled between Dalai Lama and JD Vance. Also, The Babylon Bee is a RW satire site.

Fact check

The claim made above is fake. No such meeting was scheduled between Dalai Lama and JD Vance.

Moreover, The Babylon Bee is a satirical news website, that sometimes post fake news as per its satirical take on events.

“The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life," The Babylon Bee wrote in its About section.

“If you would like to complain about something on our site, take it up with God,” it added.
