During a White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confronted NBC reporter Yamiche Alcindor about President Trump's false claims regarding violence and genocide in South Africa. Trump had presented a video suggesting over 1,000 burial sites for murdered White farmers, a claim backed by little evidence. Alcindor challenged this narrative, asserting that the video was misrepresented. Leavitt insisted that the crosses shown in the video were memorials for farmers killed due to their race, highlighting the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the topic of violence in South Africa.
In the Oval Office, Trump falsely claimed that the memorial site contained more than 1,000 burial sites for murdered White South African farmers, directly contradicting reality.
Leavitt defended the video shown by Trump, insisting that it depicted memorial crosses for White farmers killed in South Africa, while denying the claim of it showing a burial site.
