The next question should have been:

"What the fuck are you talking about? What massacre are you talking about?"

...What Conway was likely referring to was an incident in 2011 in which two Iraqi nationals were indicted for allegedly having ties to IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq.

According to a 2013 release from the Department of Justice pertaining to their sentencing for terrorist activities, “Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 25, a former resident of Iraq, was sentenced to life in federal prison, and Waad Ramadan Alwan, 31, a former resident of Iraq, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison.” The two men lived in Bowling Green, Kentucky and according to the release “admitted using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) against U.S. soldiers in Iraq and who attempted to send weapons and money to Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) for the purpose of killing U.S. soldiers.”

There is no information about the men having committed violent offenses in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Conway’s reference to a “ban” from Obama likely alludes to a review of vetting procedures for individuals coming from Iraq which did occur in 2011 as a result of the Bowling Green arrests. It was not a ban though...


ADD: There is/was a "Bowling Green Massacre" - it was a haunted house attraction.

Have these people never heard of search engines? It takes literally seconds to look it up and see that she yanked it out of her ass like everything else.

There is even a Facebook page for the Bowling Green Massacre! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Massacre-Haunted-House/153955184640213 Unfortunately it has not been operating since 2011.

I wonder if it was run by two Iraqi refugees? Maybe that is what Kellyann CONway is referring to - how refugees build our economy by starting small businesses.

16. She is a TERRIBLE liar!

It's always so obvious when she's lying. She has a tell. Every damn time she is about to tell a whopper she pauses, swallows hard, looks down, and then erupts in a lie delivered emotionlessly in quick pace. It's the pause, the swallow, and the look down that's the tell.

After the 'fact check' if it turns out to be false - I call it a 'verifiable lie'.

KellyAnne is really racking up 'verifiable lies'.
