  • On 26 October 2015, numerous African web sites published articles claiming Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a host of racist remarks at an unspecified event in Indianapolis. The first version appeared to be a 25 October 2015 article on the web site Politica (not to be confused with the U.S.-based political news site Politico), which reported that Trump made the comments in Indianapolis (but lacked a date, context, and the name or type of event at which Trump purportedly spoke): Trump indeed spoke publicly on 25 October 2015, when he appeared on CBS' Sunday morning political interview show Face the Nation. On Twitter, Trump detailed his movements throughout the day: We were unable to locate any instances in which Trump visited Indianapolis at any point in October 2015. Moreover, the comments attributed to Trump (purportedly spoken to an American audience in a U.S. city) by African web sites rated as far more offensive than prior controversial remarks made by the candidate in the past that were widely reported by the U.S. news media, yet for some reason this purported quote didn't attract the attention of a single U.S.-based political blog or web site. It beggared belief that Trump would say such things in the United States at what was ostensibly a campaign event, yet no American political web sites reported on the remarks. As with an earlier spurious Trump quote, rumors that the candidate described black people as lazy, sex-crazed thieves appeared to be a work of political fan fiction. (en)
