Disputed claimClaim by Donald Trump
“migrants, jihadists and communists who hate Christianity”
The claim: Migrants, jihadists and communists are behind the unrest in France.
What disputes it: The Independent and The Washington Times report that the claim is made without evidence, and the Washington Times fact focus describes it as unsubstantiated.
The evidence is reported by
The Independent, The Washington Times
Donald Trump’s words are reported by
New York Post, The Independent, PJ Media, The Washington Times
Hateful rhetoric
Some wording in this coverage attacks people for who they are. PJ Media uses such wording in its own words. See the words

A warning is about a claim or about words, and about whoever is behind them, not about an outlet that reports them. Mantle marks a claim only when the coverage reports evidence against it, or a fact established for years contradicts it. Most claims carry no mark; that does not mean they have been checked.

President Donald Trump told a campaign rally in Kansas for Sen. Roger Marshall that the unrest in France showed what is at stake in the November 3 midterm elections. Reports describe protests and riots in France with fires, looting and clashes with police. Trump said migrants, jihadists and communists were behind the unrest, a claim that The Independent and The Washington Times report is made without evidence. Reports give the rally location as either Park City or Wichita, Kansas. Trump also warned that Democratic control of Congress could bring similar chaos to the United States.
