Newsmax readers went ballistic Tuesday after the far-right channel shared a link on X, the former Twitter, to an article that described Donald Trump s degrading rhetoric at a campaign stop.

The network, a staunch Trump ally , had published a Reuters wire story on its site about Trumps recent remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But the article appeared as if it were written by Newsmax, except for a tiny copyright line at the bottom that identified it as a Reuters story.

The first sentence of the Reuters article Donald Trump called immigrants illegally in the United States animals and not human in a speech in Michigan on Tuesday, resorting to the degrading rhetoric he has employed time and again on the campaign trail appeared nearly verbatim in Newsmaxs tweet (pictured below).

Right-wing readers reacted harshly to the tweet. Everyone block Newsmax, one person wrote. Newsmax is fake news trash, another declared.

Newsmax later deleted its tweet.
