Did Jamie Raskin Call to Destroy ‘Christian’ Russia by Jihad?
False. Jamie Raskin did not say that the U.S. should try to destroy Russia nor that America should engage in jihad against the country’s “Christian…traditional values.”
Posts on Russian social media and Twitter have incorrectly taken Carlson’s words as a verbatim quote from Raskin.
Was ‘Fired’ Russian General’s Body Found in Moscow River?
False. The claim that Lapin’s body was discovered in a river is unsubstantiated. The original reports were based on a misleading tweet and were later retracted.
While there are numerous and, so far, unverified reports, including those from by pro-Kremlin outlets, suggesting that Lapin resigned or was removed from his command, there is no evidence to suggest that he is no longer alive.
