        You have to love what South Africa has turned into. A racist, land grabbing, women assaulting, thieving nation. Congrats to Mandela. @FoxNews @seanhannity @TuckerCarlson #MAGA

        How about "freedom-fighter-turned-president" I think that better describes the breadth of his life - his activism made his government imprison him - his faith kept him strong during 27 years of captivity and his vision led him to forgive and work to make South Africa better.

        Let's not forget that the lung infection that killed him was from South Africa's wretchedly inhuman apartheid prison. His death never should have come so soon. #NelsonMandela
