Rather, the rumor appeared to originate as satirical content to generate engagement from social media users.The Facebook account (archived) that appeared to originate the story belonged to a self-described comedian named Jonathan Gregory who also claimed he was a "Digital Content Creator for the Trump Administration" employed at conservative media outlet Newsmax. Gregory has not yet responded to Snopes' request for comment on his post about Nick Reiner, but we have reported on past posts from the same account that indicated satirical origins.
