Trudeau caught spreading disinformation on Twitter …

Trudeau deletes tweet falsely claiming Iran has sentenced 15,000 protesters to death

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deleted a tweet containing false information on mass death sentences in Iran, after a viral campaign on social media circulated the fake news.

Celebrities and users shared a picture on Instagram showing a woman holding an Iranian flag with the caption “Iran sentences 15,000 protesters to death — as a ‘hard lesson’ for all rebels.”

Instagram has since tagged the post as “False Information” and said “Independent fact-checkers say this information has no basis in fact.”

Everything Trudeau tweets, says, writes, thinks is a lie.
