IT’s FAKE, FOLKS....

A Bunch Of People Are Getting Duped By This Fake Twitter Account That’s Saying Syrian President Assad Is Dead

The Twitter account’s bio is: VLADIMIR KOLOKOLTSEV, Minister of Interior of Russian Federation. Official Twitter Account, but that means nothing. There have been several similar fakes over the past year or so spewing fake news (usually about the mideast).
