An image shared Monday by the Facebook page Statist Zombies claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron said Notre Dame Cathedral would be rebuilt “in a way consistent with our modern diverse nation.”
Verdict: False
There is no evidence of Macron saying the quote attributed to him. The Facebook page shared what appears to be a fake tweet purportedly from a French news service.
Fact Check:
France 24 was one of the news outlets to watch as the fire at Notre Dame burned Monday. It tweeted many times throughout the day, updating the world about the attempts to stop the fire.
The supposed tweet posted on Statist Zombies’ Facebook page does not appear on its timeline, though, and does not appear to have been deleted. When The Daily Caller searched for the phrase attributed to Macron in the tweet, it appeared only on sites like Reddit and Kiwi Farms that were re-sharing the same image.
