Here's the reality Troll:
>
> Over the weekend, President Donald Trump told attendees at a rally in
> Florida that there had been an “incident” involving Muslim immigrants
> in Sweden late last week, despite the fact that no terrorist attack in
> Sweden occurred at that time.
>
> The source for the president’s claim was a segment on Tucker Carlson’s
> Fox News show that featured filmmaker Ami Horowitz, who talked about
> the purported rise in crime that has resulted from Sweden accepting
> Syrian refugees.
>
> Two Swedish police officers who were interviewed by Horowitz as part
> of his recent film on Muslim immigration in Sweden now say, however,
> that the filmmaker completely misconstrued their comments about crime
> in their country.
>
> In an interview with Swedish publication DN.se, Anders Göranzon and
> Jacob Ekström described Horowitz as a “madman” who dishonestly edited
> their words to make it appear as though Sweden is being overwhelmed by
> a migrant crime wave.
>
> “He has edited the answers,” Göranzon told the publication. “We were
> answering completely different questions in the interview. This is bad
> journalism.”
>
> Horowitz interviewed the two officers while making a video report in
> which he claimed Muslim immigrants have forced Swedish law enforcement
> officials to designate some areas as “no-go zones” where they are too
> afraid to enter.
>
> The officers, however, say that Horowitz simply asked them about the
> difficulties in policing high-crime areas — and that he never once
> asked them anything specifically about Muslim refugees.
>
> “The excerpt they showed doesn’t say anything, we answered a different
> question,” said Göranzon. “We don’t stand behind what he says. He is a
> madman.”
