Feb 2017

The Bowling Green massacre is a fictional incident referred to by Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway. Conway referenced the "massacre" in a February 2, 2017 interview on the television news program Hardball with Chris Matthews as justification for an immigration ban enacted by U.S. President Donald Trump.[1] The "massacre" was described by Conway as an attack that occurred within the United States by terrorists who pretended to be refugees.[2]

Conway said:

"I bet, there was very little coverage — I bet it's 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 they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. I mean, most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."[2][1]

I have had to listen all morning to the "all knowing" righty in the cube across from mine talk about how Kellyanne never said it, that it was only referenced on a fake website that was falsely attributed to her.

They never believe they are being lied to, and when confronted with undeniable evidence that they were, they construct a new lie to explain away the first lie.

I'm going to go bang my head against a wall for awhile....

How long until they pass a law that news has to cover things that didn't happen?

Sandy Hook was fake obviously , but can't you see that Bowling Green is as real as Trump's popular vote victory?

It's disturbing to know that Senator Rand Paul and Congressman Peter King have been spewing forth this lie before Conway. So she might have been influenced by the alternative facts given to her and just doesn't feel like verifying things.

Although his will not be based on race and a blond, blue eyed megyn...it will be based on his incompetence and stupidity with his invited, stupid, lying guests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Hitler falsely claimed the technique was used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist and antisemitic political leader in the Weimar Republic.

massacre was true or not, and some felt that it was an intentional part of a larger strategy by the Trump administration."

Yeah, a strategy to be the most dishonest presidential administrations in history, unchallenged by supporters who, while vociferously, screechingly objecting to perceived, unproven, inconsequential dishonestly by other politicians, are happy to see their dear leader and admin lie bit at every turn.
