French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech to Congress on Wednesday and pretty much dragged Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ philosophy and nationalism while the country watched. Trump was watching, too. Also watching was a Republican congressman and he responded on Twitter after apparently not paying attention to the riveting speech. After Macron’s speech which garnered standing ovations, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) tweeted, “French President is a socialist militarist globalist science-alarmist… the dark future of the American Democratic Party.” Even though he was repeatedly corrected on Twitter, he did not delete another tweet which falsely quoted Macron.
French President is a socialist militarist globalist science-alarmist… the dark future of the American Democratic Party.

A Twitter user called the GOP lawmaker out.
None of this is true, using fear rhetoric is not the answer.

Then, he falsely quoted Macron.
“I will advocate for militarism in front of the Congress,” Macron said.

That is fake news. Macron said during an interview on Fox News Sunday, “I will advocate for multilateralism.” Well, both words start with an M so he was close!
The word was Multilateralism….. boy this is awkward

Massie was corrected over and over again, but the tweet remains active.
Multilateralism not milataralism. Dumbshit

All Massie had to do was have a glimpse at Macron’s Twitter timeline.
The United States were among the inventors of multilateralism. You are the ones now who have to stand up and reinvent it.https://t.co/QiFPrthSeS
