Freddy, the German superfan who stole Americans’ hearts by live-tweeting his experience in the US for the first time, will still be heading to the White House despite receiving backlash that ultimately led to him deactivating social media.
Ambassador Nick Adams, who is the special presidential envoy for Americans, tourism, exceptionalism and values in the Trump administration, confirmed to Pakinomist Digital last month that Freddy had been invited to the White House.
Now, Adams released a statement to Pakinomist Digital saying that “despite the vicious attempts of the hateful and angry radical left to frame Freddy,” he will still attend his visit to the West Wing.
“Freddy’s only ‘crime’ was loving America and documenting his travels in a completely unbiased way. That’s what they’re doing. They’re trying to intimidate and silence anyone who disagrees,” Adams’ statement read. “As the Special Presidential Envoy for Tourism, I am proud that Freddy enjoyed his trip here. I refused to let the radical left turn something positive for our country into another victory for their politics of hate.
“In the true spirit of 250, I lifted Freddy up and made sure their mob tactics would not win. The visit will go ahead as planned. America remains open for business and open for visitors who simply want to experience the greatest country on Earth. We will never let the mob dictate who gets to enjoy it.”
This is a development story. More to come.
