Ilhan Omar has been caught today spreading horrible misinformation about a ‘child genocide’ she claimed was being perpetrated by the IDF in Gaza.
Below is a screenshot of Omar retweeting a phony story about this so-called ‘child genocide’:
As you can see, this has nothing to do with Gaza at all. Not this year and not in 2013 when it actually happened.
Omar appears to have deleted the retweet, but what’s so problematic about this is that she’s so anti-Israel that she’ll just believe fake crap people post on Twitter and then promote it herself.
I think someone needs to send this to AOC so she can talk to her friend about it. LOL.
The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform.
If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.
