Two leading Swedish politicians have a message for President Trump’s critics: He’s right.
Per Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, both leaders of the Sweden Democrats, penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday supporting Trump’s characterization of a Muslim immigrant-led crime crisis in Sweden.
“Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “If anything, he understated them.”
Trump was ridiculed by many after he gave a speech Saturday citing Sweden among a list of European countries affected by the scourge of Islamic terror. Referring to the massive number of Middle Eastern refugees that have poured into the country, Trump said Sweden was “having problems like they never thought possible.” Some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump’s portrayal of the country – but riots in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery.
“Riots and social unrest have become a part of everyday life,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote. “Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked. Serious riots in 2013, involving many suburbs with large immigrant populations, lasted for almost a week. Gang violence is booming. Despite very strict firearms laws, gun violence is five times as common in Sweden, in total, as in the capital cities of our three Nordic neighbors combined.”
They added: “Anti-Semitism has risen. Jews in Malmo are threatened, harassed and assaulted in the streets. Many have left the city, becoming internal refugees in their country of birth.”
The Sweden Democrats duo ended the op-ed with a warning for the United States.
“For the sake of the American people,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote, “with whom we share so many strong historical and cultural ties, we can only hope that the leaders in Washington won’t make the same mistakes that our socialist and liberal politicians did.”
Fake news
Sweden Democrats or Swedish Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna, SD) is a nationalist political party in Sweden that was founded in 1988.[10] The party describes itself as social conservative with a nationalist foundation,[1][2]though it has been characterized by some as far-right,[11] right-wing populist,[3][12] national-conservative,[13] and anti-immigration.[14] The party had its roots in Swedish fascism[15] and was a part of the white supremacy movement;[16]

You struggle with the notion of what a news cycle is apparently.
fake rape
Is it anything like your menstrual cycle, old blocky script?
They want nothing to do with it now that they can't dispute it.
Who is "they"?
You're one of those idiots who think people will just take what you say at your word. Specially when it comes to politics.
You were proven wrong.
Proven wrong by who?

Funny nonetheless how the right is spinning this into oh no this is what Trump meant. It fits their narrative.
Explain how Splits post refutes the OP
Typical Reck: Gets educated by someone and responds with "nonetheless" before launching into something that illustrates he still won't admit he's wrong.
2 elected officials of a racist, nationalist party that gets 12% of the vote writes an op-ed in the WSJ
FAKE NEWS
Did he not post that these "democrats" are really conservative and are considered far right?
"democrats"
how is that fake news? are you suggesting that isn't their actual opinion?
I think he meant that this group is not really democratic by definition.
The "news" article is an op-ed. The op-ed obscures the fact that the authors are racist nationalists, and portrays them to be neutral arbiters by labeling them "Sweden Democrats". In the dumb ass American mind, they would say "oh hey, the Swedish left".
So yeah. Under those cir stances, it is fake news.
What did the racist nationals say that was fake news?
