AOC has warned the public about false information
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has warned the public: "If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources,"
Good advice!
But less than a week later, Ilhan Omar posted a picture of dead children she claimed were killed by the Israeli bombings of Gaza.
The
image that was reposted
by Ilhan Omar showed children
killed 10 years ago after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar
al-Assad. Omar claimed they were children in Gaza killed by the Israeli
bombings.
Omar appeared at a press conference outside Capitol Hill where she accused Israel of committing a war crime alongside other members of the 'Squad' including Representatives Ayanna Pressley (left) and Summer Lee (right)
Actually, the picture Omar posted was not of children killed in Gaza. It was a picture of children killed 10 years ago in Syria after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Omar labeled her false post "Child Genocide in Palestine."
After it became known that the image was actually taken 10 years ago ... guess what ... Omar removed the picture.
Omar has not apologized or made any comment about posting the false information.
