When one of Donald Trump’s most prominent mouthpieces came across an article she believed backed the government’s claim that left-wing terrorism is engulfing America, she didn’t miss the opportunity to share it online.
Unfortunately for the MAGA loyalist, who is at the heart of White House communications, the article cited didn’t say anything of the sort.
“Democrats, calling your political opponents Nazis has consequences,” White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson wrote on X on Sunday, adding, “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.”Jackson's tweet was widely mocked.
XThe piece by Axios did report that left-wing attacks have “outpaced” far-right incidents so far this year for the first time in three decades—but not that left-wing terrorism is at a 30-year high.
“This headline has been corrected to reflect that left-wing terrorism is outpacing far-right terrorism for the first time in 30 years (not that left-wing attacks overall are at a 30-year high),” the note read.
