Donald Trump Jr. liked a post on Twitter extolling the tremendous spike in political capital his father, President Donald Trump, will receive once its revealed that the Quebec Shooting terrorists are Muslims.The original tweet was posted Monday by John Cardillo, a former NYPD officer and syndicated radio host, who incorrectly posited that the attacker was a Muslim. In fact, 27-year-old Alexandre Bissonnette, the lone suspect in the attack that left six people dead and eight wounded Sunday night, is an anti-Muslim, far-right Trump supporter.
Link to tweet
Carrillos tweet links the Sunday night Mosque massacre to Trumps executive order restricting immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries. The Trump administration has continuously insisted the order is not a ban and does not target one religion, despite the presidents own use of the word ban.
Though the Trump administration sought to alleviate fears of conflicts of interest pertaining to the presidents global business empire by passing control of the Trump Organization to his sons, questions remain over whether the role the presidents children will play in the White House. According to CNN, Trumps sons were actively involved in vetting candidates for their fathers cabinet, and were present Tuesday evening with Trump announced his Supreme Court nominee.
Los Angeles Times national reporter Matt Pearce first noticed the like on Tuesday evening. As of this time, Don Jr. has yet to unlike the inaccurate tweet championing the political expediency of a terror attack.
