President Donald Trump assaulted the media’s narrative denying the legitimacy of South Africans’ refugee claims on Wednesday, playing video evidence that detailed the ongoing racial violence and threats against white South African farmers.
During a meeting in the Oval Office, Trump ordered the lights dimmed before airing a five-minute video showing, in part, populist leader Julius Malema calling for the murder of South Africa’s white community.
“Revolution demands at some point there must be killing,” Malema said. Other clips showed so-called Economic Freedom Fighters dancing and chanting, “Kill the Boer, the farmer!”
The video also showed a memorial of hundreds of white crosses reportedly erected to honor murdered white farmers.
