“President Donald Trump pressed South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa to protect White Afrikaner farmers from violent attacks in an extraordinary Oval Office conversation in which Trump made no mention of the African nation’s long-standing epidemic of violence against both White and Black people, nor its violent and discriminatory history of White rule,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump amplified false claims that White Afrikaners have been victims of a genocide, even showing video footage of crosses and earthen mounds that he said represented more than a 1,000 grave sites of murdered farmers. The mounds were in fact part of a protest against the violence, not actual graves.”
