That twitter thing you just linked, did you read the replies under it?

I'm not 100% sure of the context. But it looks like it's fake.

@SRowntreeNews @WALTBACON Dude that's a fake account. Don't RT that garbage.

@aobrien7 good catch, thanks

@SRowntreeNews This is fake, @michaeldweiss. Part of disinfo network spreading false rumors. They were very active during Euro soccer riots.

If thats case aren't you just perpetuating a narrative about Trump supporters being a bunch of racist bigots, when in this case its made up BS????

This is exactly what pissed off a lot of regular people and got them to the polls IMO.

You are though.

> ...aren't you just perpetuating a narrative...

Uh, no. I wrote that something 'showed up on my twitter feed', implying it's unverified. Last night there wasn't a way to verify it, it merely seemed plausible. In any case, the Huffpost article sufficiently makes the case.
