A two minute search shows it's not true,
And that is the problem with everyone in the f***ing world now. Thanks to the f***ing internet and dumbf***s everywhere, no one checks anything before posting it. No one cares if something is the truth or not before sharing. And thus sh** like this can spread. Even hinting at it and putting a question mark at the end of it still implies a certain potential truth, even when a quick check makes it abundantly clear that something is false.
Think for you f***ing selves, people. You're destroying this country by not doing your homework.

Harsh way to put it but very true.
Think before you speak. Find reliable sources of information and then cross reference any info obtained with alternate reliable sources to vet the validity of "fact", "rumor".
Our country currently stands fractured and divided primarily due to the death of journalism and the rise of rumor and lies as facts pushed for the sake of increasing viewership, ratings and website traffic. People just don't think for themselves any longer or are too lazy to dig into an issue to arrive on a truth.
