Trump’s Evidence Of South African “White Genocide” Shows Black Women Raped And Killed In The Congo

Agence France-Presse reports:

US President Donald Trump brandished a stack of printed articles at the White House Wednesday that he claimed documented a genocide taking place against white people in South Africa. “Death of people, death, death, death, horrible death, death,” Trump said as he flipped through the headlines, which he said were published in “the last few days.”

At the bilateral meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the US president held up a February article about tribalism in Africa from a little-known website called “American Thinker.” It featured a blown-up image showing Red Cross workers in protective gear handling body bags. “Look, here’s burial sites all over the place,” said Trump. “These are all white farmers that are being buried.”

But the image is a screengrab from a February YouTube video of Red Cross workers responding after women were raped and burned alive during a mass jailbreak in the Congolese city of Goma, according to its caption.
