I'm sorry I mean alternative facts.
Blatant false fear mongering by the White House.

Blatant false fear mongering by the White House.
quote:
(CNN)Kellyanne Conway seems to be confused. On Thursday night the Trump adviser appeared in a TV interview and made a statement that pricked the ears of fact-checkers everywhere.
She told MSNBC's Chris Matthews:
"I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a 6-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. It didn't get covered."
First of all, Obama didn't ban the Iraqi refugee program.
Second, there's no such thing as the Bowling Green massacre.
Conway could have been referencing two Iraqis -- Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi -- who lived in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Both were granted refugee status and entered the United States in 2009.
The two men were never planning on committing an act of terrorism on US soil. Instead, they were trying to help get weapons to al Qaeda in Iraq. They were terrorists who should not have been allowed in the country, but they weren't planning an attack in the United States. And they didn't kill anyone in Bowling Green (or anywhere else in the US).

Exclusive: US May Have Let 'Dozens' of Terrorists Into Country As Refugees
By JAMES GORDON MEEK, CINDY GALLI, and BRIAN ROSS
Nov. 20, 2013
Quantico, Virginia
Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The discovery in 2009 of two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists living as refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky -- who later admitted in court that they'd attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq -- prompted the bureau to assign hundreds of specialists to an around-the-clock effort aimed at checking its archive of 100,000 improvised explosive devices collected in the war zones, known as IEDs, for other suspected terrorists' fingerprints.
"We are currently supporting dozens of current counter-terrorism investigations like that," FBI Agent Gregory Carl, director of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), said in an ABC News interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News' "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline".
"I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more than that," said House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul. "And these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me."
As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News -

Not a trumpkin at all. I'm an American.

I agree with you in this case, but man your schtick is getting old. This is the equivalent of a grammar boom on someone.

I'm going to check snopes on this.
Whatever they say, I will believe the opposite

"""First of all, Obama didn't ban the Iraqi refugee program""" is CNN's quote. It is CNN's statement. It is CNN's Fake News.

Well in that case, let's just let them ALL in. Two terrorists were here and managed to not blow themselves up.

"Bowling Green Massacre" (fixed typo)
I'm sure I speak for all Americans when I say that none of us will ever forget where we were when the Bowling Green Massacre didn't happen, nor will we ever forget sitting glued to the TV screen waiting for updates from this guy, who was there dodging bullets and reporting live from the scene the whole time...
