Freddy, the German superfan who stole Americans’ hearts by live-tweeting his experience in the United States for the first time, will still visit the White House despite the backlash that ultimately led him to deactivate social media.
Ambassador Nick Adams, who serves as the President’s Special Envoy for America, Tourism, Exception and Values in the Trump administration, confirmed to PK Press Club Digital last month that Freddy had been invited to the White House.
Now, Adams has released a statement to PK Press Club Digital saying that, “despite the vicious attempts by the hateful and angry radical left to doxx 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 non-partisan way. That’s what they’re doing. They’re trying to scare and silence anyone who doesn’t comply,” Adams’ statement read. “As the President’s Special 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 raised Freddy and made sure their mob tactics would not win. The tour will go ahead as planned. America remains open for business and open to visitors who simply want to experience the greatest country on earth. We will never let the crowds dictate who gets to enjoy it.”
This is a developing story. More to come.
