White House Scrubs Translation of French President Saying ‘Islamist Terrorism’
White House Scrubs Translation of French President Saying ‘Islamist Terrorism’ Breitbart, Charlie Spiering, April 1, 2016
White House staffers appear to have scrubbed the mention of “Islamist terrorism” from a video of a speech delivered by French President Francois Hollande at a bilateral meeting with President Obama.
According to the White House translation of Francois’ speech, he said the following:
We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination. But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism, Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We, therefore, have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition. And we note that Daesh is losing ground, thanks to the strikes we’ve been able to launch with the coalition.
But in the White House video, the translated portion of his remarks about Islamist terrorism is muted, starting at 4:48 in this video, according to a report posted by the Media Research Center.

In the White House video, starting at 4:48, Hollande’s female translator goes silent, while he continues speaking for about 15 seconds before the translation restarts.
Hollande’s reference to Islamist terror also appears to have been muted in the White House video.
The White House’s edited version of the video also has Hollande saying the following: “But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism–and we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we’ve been able to launch with the coalition.”
The edit excludes this passage; “Islamist terrorism is in Syria and in Iraq. We, therefore, have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition.”
The official video of the remarks posted by the Nuclear Security Summit was not edited, and includes the translation of Hollande’s remarks referring to “Islamist” terror.

That makes sense when taking into account that the US – ”president” is a muslim ( which he stated himself several times….) Looking at his actions is the cllear confirmation……The tragedy in all of this betrayal , or treason by the US – ”president” is that US-citizens dont care, they remain passive instead of removing the lethal threat from the WH…..
