The Queen of "Alternative Facts" Invents Massacre

So many lies told that she can't keep track. These people are armature scumbags. They lie and lie and lie and lie and lie until they can't keep their own lies straight. You'd have to be a moron to support this dumpster fire of an administration.

Um, the “Bowling Green Massacre” never happened.

.@KellyannePolls says that 2 Iraqi refugees "were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre."
(There was no such massacre.)​

Kellyanne Conway, an adviser to President Donald Trump, cited a nonexistent massacre to justify his highly controversial immigration ban.

Speaking to Chris Matthews on MSNBC on Thursday night, Conway said:

“I bet it’s brand-new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered.”

It also never happened.

Conway, who last month described the Trump administration’s spin as “alternative facts,” appears to be referring to an incident in 2011 when two Iraqi refugees were arrested in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Mohanad Shareef Hammadi and Waad Ramadan Alwan believed they were sending money and weapons to al Qaeda in Iraq when in fact, they were caught in an FBI sting operation.

While Hammadi and Alwan were convicted in 2013 of terrorism and are currently imprisoned, there was no massacre in Bowling Green nor were they accused of planning or attempting one.

There was also no “ban” on the refugee program. As Business Insider reported, the Obama administration delayed processing refugees as it expanded screening measures; refugees already in the country were re-screened. Iraqi refugees continued to enter the country, just at a slower pace.

Soon after Conway cited it, “Bowling Green Massacre” began trending on Twitter:

 

I wonder if that were the same people who contrived that story about Gorsuch and fascism!

 

Poorly chosen words, but the intent of her message still communicates the fact that the referenced foreign nationals planned and participated in efforts to harm Americans.

 

"Poorly chosen words"? Or simply intentionally chosen lies? It's hard to come up with so many details of an incident that never happened just choosing your words poorly. But thanks for giving her a pass. You're going to be doing that a lot.

 

Liar in person!

 

What lie? You can't take Conway in her own words?

 

I guess it is more that I can't take you at your own words.

 

Go fuck yourself, you free-speech-hating liberal.

 

I think that is why you cannot hold a job!

 

Yeah . . . you're protesters and . . .

. . . WE'RE WORKING
