White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to an NBC writer who raised questions about the accuracy of a movie that US President Donald Trump purportedly played that depicted white farmers burying their land in South Africa. Additionally, read: Donald Trump demonstrates data of” white genocide” against Cyril Ramaphosa during an explosive Oval Office meeting. While addressing his South American counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump aired a video that depicted white crosses in the Oval Office. Trump claimed that the passes were about” 1,000 South African farmers ‘ burial sites” in white. White West African producers are being “killed and forced off their land,” according to Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News, who questioned Leavitt about the picture despite reports that the passes were from a memorial show following the killing of a Light gardening partners and no actual burial grounds. At the White House press briefing on Thursday, Alcindor stated,” We know that the video wasn’t true and that that was not true.” The latter questioned” What protocols are in place when there is unsubstantiated information being released for the world and world leaders,” while the White House press secretary replied that the video was not unsubstantiated after the exchange ended. What about the video is unsubstantiated, exactly? Crosses that represent the dead bodies of people who were subject to racial persecution by their government are displayed there. In fact, Leavitt said,” Each cross marks a white farmer who has been killed in a farm murder,” which is exactly what The Associated Press has in its caption. It is supported, then. However, the evidence that everyone saw in the Oval Office, including that video and the physical evidence, is supported by another source, The Associated Press. Therefore, you should discuss it with them if you think the claim is unsupported. And that is a ridiculous line of questioning, she continued. According to The Associated Press, the crosses depicted were a part of a demonstration that took place after a white farming couple died in 2020, citing local news reports from South Africa. Trump informed Ramaphosa that those who want to “pay respects to their family member who was killed” visit the graveyards along the side of the road. Have they, Mr. President, given you the address, Mr. President? Ramaphosa inquired, adding,” I’d like to know where that is. Because of this, I’ve never seen it. Trump responded,” I mean, it’s in South Africa, that’s where.” We must discover, according to Ramaphosa.
