Kellyanne Conway Fabricated A Massacre To Justify Trump’s Immigration Ban

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 its 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 dont know that because it didnt get covered.

It also never happened.

Conway, who last month described the Trump administrations 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 screeningmeasures; 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:

Trumpites. Nothing else to add....

Kellyanne Conway made up the terrorist attack in Kentucky to justify the President's travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries More than half of Donald Trump supporters think a made-up massacre actually happened, even after the fabricated story was widely debunked. In a new poll, 51 per cent of Trump voters agreed that "the Bowling Green Massacre shows why Mr Trump’s immigration policy is needed".

The lies just keep getting bigger because Conway and Bannon are conducting an experiment to find the limit of Trump supporter gullibility. So far, the limit has not been determined.

This is a prime example of blatant fear-mongering. This is the type of thing I would love to see from Frank Underwood, not from a real life sitting presidents staff.

Kellyanne Conway Fabricates Bowling Green Massacre

Kellyanne Conway Fabricates Bowling Green Massacre:  In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway fabricated a “Bowling Green massacre” in an attempt to justify Donald Trump’s new immigration ban.  Oh sure, the Bowling Green massacre?  What crazy stories will these people come up with next - cats in the Westminster Dog Show?  Hell, is it any wonder Trump lost the popular vote with so many of his supporters wiped out in the “Bowling Green massacre?”

Smokeless Tobacco Co Issues Recall Over Metal Fragments:  Altria, the company behind popular smokeless tobacco brands such as Skoal, Copenhagen, Cope and Husky, has issued a voluntary recall across six states after consumers complained of sharp metal objects in cans of their product.  Only a six state recall?  I’m guessing that means everyone else in the other 44 states are OK with chewing shrapnel.

Texas Boy Finds Rattlesnake in Toilet Bowl:  A Texas boy got quite a shock after opening up the toilet bowl and seeing a full grown rattlesnake in there - which then was able to slip out onto the floor before his mom killed it with a garden hoe.  You mean a rattlesnake can crawl into your toilet bowl?  Guess I don’t know shit about rattlesnakes.  This should also serve as a warning for that rattlesnake we have in the White House to keep away from the ho’s while Melania’s off somewhere in New York doing whatever people like her do.
