Miami Airport Corrects WH Social Media Director's Fake Post About Irma

By NICOLE LAFOND Published SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 8:22 AM

White House Social Media Director Dan Scavino tweeted a video of an airplane moving through a flooded tarmac on Sunday, claiming it was the Miami International Airport, according to a Buzzfeed News reporter who got a screen shot of the tweet before it was deleted.

In his tweet, Scavino said he was sharing information about Hurricane Irma from social media with the President and Vice President, as the storm pummeled the Florida coastline Sunday.




Just 10 minutes after the tweet was shared, the Miami International Airport’s Twitter account corrected the White House official, saying the video was not from their airport, Buzzfeed was the first to report.




The video is apparently from the Mexico City Airport last month.

all these, stupid ignorant lying pigs can do is LIE. Everything said by this, the most unqualified administration, probably ever, is a goddamn lie. THIS is what ignorance and meanness in the american people has wrought. Anything disastrous is possible with these idiot, purposefully obfuscating pigs calling themselves leaders
