Fact Check: Did Queen Elizabeth Suggest Deporting Muslims ‘To Avoid Bloody Terrorist Attacks’?

Published



False quotes from famous folks are a favorite trope of misinformation sites across the internet. (Twain and Churchill being the front-runners for such misattributions.)

A blog post from the Phoenix Post claimed Wednesday that Queen Elizabeth, addressing the topic of immigration, said “Muslim refugees are dividing nationality, I fully agree with Donald Trump we should deport them to avoid bloody terrorist attacks.” (TWS Fact Check feels obligated to note that tossing “bloody” into an otherwise confused and rather incoherent sentence does not magically create a British tone.)
