Trump Adviser Suggests Minnesota Mosque Attack Could Have Been Faked By The Left

Source: Huffington Post

Sebastian Gorka, a White House national security adviser, defended President Donald Trump’s silence on an explosion at a Minnesota mosque by suggesting it could have been a fake hate crime “propagated by the left.”

When asked on MSNBC Tuesday why Trump had yet to publicly comment on the Saturday incident, Gorka said the president wants to wait until he learns more about it. Trump, though, often is quick to comment on other attacks, particularly those carried out by Muslims.

“When we have some kind of finalized investigation, absolutely,” Gorka said of whether Trump would respond to the bombing at the Dar al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington. He then suggested the attack could have been a “fake” hate crime.

“There’s a great rule: All initial reports are false,″ Gorka said. “You have to check them and find out who the perpetrators are. We’ve had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes, by right-wing individuals in the last six months, that turned out to actually have been propagated by the left.”

"Faked by the left."

Right.

They do have stupid followers, of course, the ones who can't even spell when they scrawl their protest signs. They are the ones their leaders are hoping to influence, even though there won't be too many of them watching MSNBC.

They could be counting on their trolls seeing this story and others like it when they daily swarm and infest Democratic message boards.

I immediately say to myself "Consider the source". Then when I go back and read it more thoroughly I know whether or not I should take it a certain way. Gorka is one of those names that I dismiss as nonsense BS right from the start.

his defense still doesn't make any sense. If the attack were a "false-flag" operation committed by liberals, Trump should BE EVEN QUICKER to condemn it!

Here is the timeline:

1.) Trump immediately condemns attack, looking almost like a human being in his compassion.
2.) Attack investigation finds that teh libruls did it.
3.) Trump AGAIN gets to condemn the attack AND condemn libruls at the same time!

"The German government made an immediate pronouncement that “the Jews” themselves were to blame for the pogrom and imposed a fine of one billion Reichsmark (some 400 million US dollars at 1938 rates) on the German Jewish community. The Reich government confiscated all insurance payouts to Jews whose businesses and homes were looted or destroyed, leaving the Jewish owners personally responsible for the cost of all repairs."

But this can be expected from a third generation Hungarian Nazi!!!!

right ignores this and continues down the
path of destroying this country.
