Here's the reality Troll:
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump told attendees at a rally in
Florida that there had been an “incident” involving Muslim immigrants
in Sweden late last week, despite the fact that no terrorist attack in
Sweden occurred at that time.
The source for the president’s claim was a segment on Tucker Carlson’s
Fox News show that featured filmmaker Ami Horowitz, who talked about
the purported rise in crime that has resulted from Sweden accepting
Syrian refugees.
Two Swedish police officers who were interviewed by Horowitz as part
of his recent film on Muslim immigration in Sweden now say, however,
that the filmmaker completely misconstrued their comments about crime
in their country.
In an interview with Swedish publication DN.se, Anders Göranzon and
Jacob Ekström described Horowitz as a “madman” who dishonestly edited
their words to make it appear as though Sweden is being overwhelmed by
a migrant crime wave.
“He has edited the answers,” Göranzon told the publication. “We were
answering completely different questions in the interview. This is bad
journalism.”
Horowitz interviewed the two officers while making a video report in
which he claimed Muslim immigrants have forced Swedish law enforcement
officials to designate some areas as “no-go zones” where they are too
afraid to enter.
The officers, however, say that Horowitz simply asked them about the
difficulties in policing high-crime areas — and that he never once
asked them anything specifically about Muslim refugees.
“The excerpt they showed doesn’t say anything, we answered a different
question,” said Göranzon. “We don’t stand behind what he says. He is a
madman.”
