National Security Adviser, John Bolton Chaired Non-profit That Spread Anti-Muslim Conspiracy Theorie

NBC reported this morning that until last month Bolton served as Chairman of the Gatestone Institute, a New York-based organization that releases stories that warn of a looming “jihadist takeover” of Europe and claimed Muslim immigrants in Sweden were turning the country into the “Rape Capital of the West.”

Alina Polyakova, a Brookings Institution fellow who studies far-right populism and disinformation campaigns in the European Union, said Gatestone is “putting out content that was clearly anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and was echoing some of the Russian disinformation propaganda” being spread by internet trolls and on social media.
