On Wednesday, far-left comedian and actor Kevin Hart took to Twitter to share blatantly false information to his 100 million followers.
Hart shared a photo of the words, “When [T]rump was asked to address the KKK. THIS MAN SAID & I quote… ‘Stand back and stand by.”
The post, which was not even remotely close to being true, received over 1,000,000 likes.

In the description of the post, Hart wrote: “If this isn’t enough to make you go vote then I don’t know what is….Wake up!!!!! This man is promoting hate at the highest level. Blunt f***ing racism…..F***ING RACISM!!!!”
After realizing his post was fake, Hart added, “If you don’t see it this way then your apart of the f***ing problem!!!! I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I WILL STAND ON THAT S***!!!!!!”
Instagram has yet to fact check the post from Hart.
Read the transcript of the debate that Hart was referring to when he made his blatantly false comment:
[Debate moderator Chris] Wallace: “You have repeatedly criticized the Vice President for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups. But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacist and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities. As we’ve seen in Kenosha and as we’ve seen in Portland.”
Trump: “Sure I’m willing to do that.”
[Democratic nominee Joe] Biden: “Then do it.”
Wallace: “Go ahead, sir.”
Trump: “I would say, I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing not from the right.”
Wallace: “So what are you saying?”
Trump: “I’m willing to do anything — I want to see peace.”
Wallace: “Then do it, sir.”
Biden: “Say it. Do it. Say it.”
Trump: “Do you want to call them — what do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name. Go ahead, who would you like me to condemn?”
Wallace: “White supremacists and right wing militias.”
Biden: “Proud boys.”
Trump: “Proud boys, stand back and stand by…”
Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
Hart’s post suggests Tump’s “stand down and stand by” comment was directed at the “KKK,” when in fact it was directed at the Proud Boys, an all-male group that has expressly and routinely denounced white supremacy.
The Trump administration in April took a historic step to designate a white supremacist group known as the Russian Imperial Movement, or RIM, as a global terrorist organization and sanctioned three of its leaders, ABC News reported.
Moreover, last week, Trump announced the designation of the KKK as a terrorist organization, made lynching a national hate crime, and pledged $500 billion to black communities.
“For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken black voters for granted. They made you big promises before every election—and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,” said Trump. “The Democrats will always take black voters for granted until large numbers of black Americans vote Republican.”
The post from Hart remains up online and has amassed over 1 million “likes” and over 50,000 comments.
