Freddy, the viral German soccer fan, will still visit White House

Freddy, the Germany superfan who stole the hearts of Americans by live-tweeting his experience in the United States 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 American Tourism, Exceptionalism and Values in the Trump administration, confirmed to Fox News Digital last month that Freddy had been invited to the White House.

Now, Adams released a statement to Fox News Digital saying that, “despite the hateful and angry radical Left’s vicious attempts 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. This is what they do. They try to scare and silence anyone who doesn’t conform,” 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 to 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 developing story. More to come.
