There's not actually an RT America anymore. It's a joke. See: https://x.com/RTNewsAmerica/status/1869543884990345273

I am also suspicious of this account’s bio. I think it could be fake…

Yeah, that's clearly not trustworthy. I am the king of the gays, not this imposter.

Quite lucky. Don’t remedy this.

Imagine Ian Paisley but Muslim.

I wonder if it's false but started as a misunderstanding of a related story?

A few days ago, one of Farrakhan's close friends and fellow Nation of Islam minister, Don Muhammad, died aged 87.

One of the early obituaries mistakingly said he was 91 and it featured a picture of Farrakhan. The article in question was pulled, but it still appears on Google News when you search his name.

I reckon someone shared this misinformation then it spread like wildfire, with a troll Twitter account also taking advantage of it.

This makes much more sense. The Twitter posts in the main seemed to be from trolls, or at least a very biased ‘media’ perspective (like the one I shared). If it had only been those posts I would’ve chalked it up as a hoax, but there were cryptic Facebook posts from NoI followers but what you’ve said squares that circle.

But really so much worse.

Paisley's rhetoric had a more immediate impact, whereas Farrakhan's had more cultural than violent implications.
