Ami Horowitz videos attacking Dems... perhaps should familiarize ourselves with this "documentarian"

Last edited Sat Dec 23, 2017, 12:19 PM - Edit history (2)

I was appalled to see one of his videos posted.

Here is the short version from his WIKI page:
Ami Horowitz is an American documentary filmmaker.[1] He is the writer, producer, and director of Ami on the Streets, a satirical short film series made for Fox News. Horowitz co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in the 2009 documentary U.N. Me, a critical examination of the United Nations.

On edit, this is the asshole who disseminated the fake Swedish immigrant video. See the clash with CNN Don Lemon on that posted in thread down below...

Latest piece joins Ami Horowitz's controversial films on conditions in West Bank, Israeli flag on campuses



JTA — Pressed to explain his false claim that something terrible had happened in Sweden last week, President Donald Trump traced the canard back to the reporting of Ami Horowitz, a gonzo Jewish-American filmmaker who spoke about Sweden’s problem with Muslim immigrants on Fox News.

On Saturday, during a campaign-style speech in Florida on border security and immigrants, Trump urged listeners to “look at what’s happening last night in Sweden,” leading to widespread puzzlement and mockery from Swedes who said no terrorist attack had taken place there the previous day or even recently.
