MAGA Influencers Falsely Claim Trump Paid Mortgage for Slain NYPD Officer's Family
David Zere, host of the MAGA Real America's Voice show Breaking Point, kicked off a firestorm of social media misinformation Friday when he falsely claimed that disgraced former President Donald Trump had paid off the mortgage for the family of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
Trump used the wake for Officer Diller, who was killed at a traffic stop on Monday, as a photo op, posing for cameras in front of a line of NYPD officers and railing against crime in the U.S.
Zere said in an interview with Jack Posobiec prior to the wake, "The story here is that Trump gave a donation to Tunnels to Towers, I believe he paid off the mortgage for this family."
Trump himself never claimed he would be donating to pay off Diller's mortgage, but the lie quickly spread on social media following Zere's interview. Students for Trump Chair Ryan Fournier posted, "[Trump] has a huge heart and I've seen it time and time again."
Other MAGA accounts chimed in to praise the former President for his supposed act of charity for the fallen officer's family, calling him a "man of the people" and saying "this is our President who cares."
In reality, Tunnels to Towers Foundation, a non profit that provides "mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children, and [builds] specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders," quickly announced it would be paying off Diller's mortgage to provide relief for his family.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
