President Trump is drawing criticism on social media on Tuesday after he retweeted a two-year-old video showing an airport security agent give a lengthy, invasive pat-down to a young boy.
‘Not a good situation!’ the president wrote in the caption of his tweet.
Trump was subtweeting a video posted by standup comedian and actor Larry The Cable Guy, whose real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitley.
Whitley tweeted: ‘Absolutely ridiculous! How many times do you have to feel a kid up to figure out he’s not a threat?
‘This is infuriating and hard to watch.’
Whitley shared the video which was posted by a Twitter account that goes by the name ‘Deep State Exposed.’
President Trump on Tuesday retweeted a two-year-old video of a disabled boy being aggressively patted down by a TSA agent at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport
'Not a good situation!' the president wrote in the caption of his tweet, which was a subtweet of comedian Larry the Cable Guy
Mom Jennifer Williamson filmed her son Aaron being patted down at DFW Airport in Dallas in March 2017. Aaron's disability mean he can't properly process the sensation of touch. The video went viral and sparked outrage
The Twitter account belongs to Jeremy Stone, who wrote a book promoting conspiracy theories about a ‘deep state’ that is out to bring down President Trump.
Stone apparently uploaded the video to bolster his argument that the federal government can’t be trusted.
Reaction on Tuesday to Trump's retweet was negative.
'This video is two years old [sic] and now you're posting it all over the Internet for people to see this kid!,' tweeted one Twitter user who called the president a 'f'n sicko.'
Another Twitter user tweeted: 'This video is two years old. Made the news and went viral then. Keep up.'
'The President of the United States just told the world he likes Larry the Cable Guy,' tweeted another Twitter user.
'This happened almost two years ago, but I'm sure now it's a national emergency to you!!!' tweeted Jennifer Witt.
This is not the first time that Trump has shared videos from questionable sources online.
He also tweeted information that turned out to be not true.
Trump said that the late Senator John McCain graduated ‘last in his class’ from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, when the truth is McCain graduated fifth from last, according to The Washington Post.
Trump also retweeted a tweet from Chuck Callesto, who writes for a little-known website.
Callesto, who has also claimed that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, claimed that the Democrats are seeking to remove House Rep. Ilhan Omar from Congress.
