Fmr GOP Rep. Tom Tancredo, who ran for Governor + President, defended this anti-Muslim meme claiming a photo from Afghanistan is actually from Dearborn, Michigan. "Have you ever been to Dearborn?" @RealTomTancredo told me. "I have. Seemed perfectly plausible." #copolitics #9NEWS 
Tancredo also told me, "Since the photo is done as sarcasm and derision, what difference does it make where it was really taken?" (A quick Google search shows the photo was taken in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2009) #copolitics #9NEWS
I asked Tancredo whether he should avoid spreading obviously false information on social media because of his prominent public profile (he was the leading GOP #cogov candidate earlier this year). #copolitics #9NEWS
Tancredo dismissed any concerns, telling me, "What in the world makes this newsworthy except for the fact that a bunch of snowflakes think you should run a story about it?" #copolitics #9NEWS
