Trump Retweets Doctored Video of Him Hitting Hillary Clinton with Golf Ball

HeadlineSep 18, 2017

President Trump was busy causing controversy Sunday morning by retweeting a doctored video edited to show him hitting a golf ball that appears to strike former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the back, knocking her over. Trump retweeted the doctored video from a Twitter user with a history of posting anti-Semitic and transphobic messages. Many condemned Trump for retweeting the video, including former Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub, who said, “The President of the United States just retweeted a video vignette that imagines him assaulting his political rival. The man is unfit.”
