"Anderson Cooper traveled to South Africa to get to the bottom of President Donald Trump's claim of a genocide of white, predominantly Afrikaner farmers in the latest episode of 60 Minutes on Sunday evening. Last year, Trump signed an executive order expediting the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees to the United States. Cooper said he visited the farm of a man named Darrel Brown because of what President Trump said last May about the murders of South African farmers."
"We found the spot where those white crosses were once planted, Cooper continued. It's a lonely pothole road, not far from Brown's ranch. It definitely wasn't a burial site, Brown told Cooper. I mean those crosses were there for less than 48 hours. It was purely an avenue of crosses we planted there in honor of commercial farmers in South Africa that had lost their lives."
Anderson Cooper traveled to South Africa to investigate President Donald Trump's claim of a genocide of white, predominantly Afrikaner farmers. Trump previously signed an executive order to expedite resettlement of Afrikaner refugees to the United States and repeatedly described the killings as a genocide. Cooper visited Darrel Brown's farm and found the crosses that Trump pointed to were a short-lived memorial display, not burial sites. Brown said he and others planted the crosses in honor of commercial farmers who lost their lives, including friends Glen and Vida and his best friend Tollly Nell. Multiple violent incidents were described, and no arrests had been made in at least one case.
