Oops? Trump retweets critic saying ‘he’s a fascist’
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump appears to have mistakenly retweeted a message from one of his critics saying “he’s a fascist.”
Trump deleted his retweet Tuesday after about five minutes, but not before the message sent to his 35 million followers racked up a big response.
Trump seems to have been trying to draw attention to a Fox & Friends article on a possible presidential pardon for former Phoenix-area Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of a crime for ignoring a U.S. court order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.
A Twitter handle identified as “@MikeHolden42” tweeted to Trump “He’s a fascist, so not unusual.” The user suggested in subsequent tweets that he was calling Trump a facist, not Arpaio.
