Don Jr., Ted Cruz shared Russian misinformation on Black Lives Matter - Business Insider

Donald Trump Jr., Sen. Ted Cruz, and other high-profile Republicans shared a viral news story in early August about Black Lives Matter protesters burning "a stack of Bibles" in front of a courthouse in Portland.

In his tweet sharing the story, Trump Jr. implied "book burning" was common to activists. Cruz wrote: "This is who they are."Russia looks to have succeded in seeding one of its first viral misinformation hits in the runup to the presidential election. Trump Jr. wrote in his own tweet: "Now we move to the book burning phase. I'm pretty sure Antifa doesn't actually stand for what they say it stands for. Maybe just remove the anti part of them name and it's perfect."And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote: "Leftwing barbarians in Portland throwing Bibles into a fire reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusade scene in Nazi Germany where Hitler's followers are burning Bibles and other books.

SAI So one side gets away with outright lies while the other gets picked apart 4 a couple tweets about something that ACTUALLY HAPPENED? What of bibles is unacceptable? Maybe 5 or more is over the line? But 2 is fine? What is the number? And what does this have to do with Business?

SAI Blaming stories you don’t like on “Russian Misinformation” is the height of lazy journalism, but then again you are not a journalist.
