Donald Trump spread a story about a helicopter making an “emergency landing” that was immediately dismissed by several Democrats following the former president’s wild press conference on Thursday, which was riddled with false claims.

When asked about Vice President Kamala Harris’s past relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, the Republican presidential candidate said he knew Brown “very well” before telling a story about “crashing in a helicopter” with him.

“We thought, ‘Maybe this is the end.’ We were in a helicopter together going to a certain place and there was an emergency landing,” Trump claimed, speaking to reporters during the rambling press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

He continued: “It wasn’t a pleasant landing and Willie was, he was a little worried. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven’t seen him in years.”

Brown, a longtime leading Democrat in California, was once on board a helicopter without Trump when it made a “harrowing emergency landing” in 2004.

But he never had such an experience with the former president, he told the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN on Thursday, calling him “obviously in the wrong.”

“They would have known if I had flown in a helicopter with Trump,” Brown told the Chronicle, also denying Trump’s claim that he had disparaged Harris, whom he dated for about a year. “I never flew in a helicopter with Trump.”

Brown told KRON-TV in San Francisco that the Republican candidate did what he does best with his “fictional” creativity.

NBC News noted that Trump apparently confused the name of the former San Francisco mayor with that of former California governor Jerry Brown.

Jerry Brown and the state’s then-governor-elect, Gavin Newsom, shared a helicopter with Trump in 2018 as they toured the damage caused by wildfires in the state.

The former California governor’s spokesman told the New York Times there was no emergency landing and Harris was not discussed, while Newsom said the plane “did not crash.”

“I say this is complete nonsense,” Newsom said of the helicopter story.
