Donald Trump tells Fox News he merely retweeted a tweet from an “expert.” Let’s meet this “expert.”
Donald Trump looked for support from “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night, and got Bill O’Reilly to stroke his ego and give him a platform to explain to a supportive ear the vile, false, and extremely racist graphic that apparently originated from a neo-Nazi supporter, that he posted to Twitter over the weekend:
Claiming, “I’m probably the least racist person on Earth,” Trump told O’Reilly, “Bill, I didn’t tweet. I retweeted somebody that was supposedly an expert and also a radio show.”

As is clear from the tweet Trump sent, the person whom he retweeted was @SeanSean252.
@SeanSean252, aka, “Sean,” has a bio that reads, “NEVER EVER VOTE RINO AGAIN! If you are not Conservative? Please don’t follow me as I will not Follow you back ever! I am done meeting in the Middle.”
That is Donald Trump’s expert on violent crime statistics, which should make Americans concerned who Trump would choose as Attorney General, who heads the DOJ, which oversees the FBI, which is in charge of crime statistics.
Trump also told O’Reilly, “All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me. And it did. It came out of radio show and other places, because you see all the names.”
“The names” are the people @SeanSean252 tweeted the false and vile graphic to: @WayneDupreeShow @Rockprincess818 @CheriJacobus.
They certainly are not responsible for the content of the tweet.
Trump, a voracious user of social media, especially Twitter, knows that all too well.
