Amid Donald Trumps bitter and long-running crusade against the media, and in some cases the truth, his official spokesman defended the presidents controversial travel ban by repeatedly citing an Islamic terror attack in Atlanta that never happened.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer mentioned the Georgia capital as the site of a terror attack three times in recent weeks. The first happened on Jan. 29, while defending the presidents travel ban in an ABC interview he asked, what do we say to the family who loses somebody over a terroristic [sic], to whether its Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber?
Referring to the attackers, Spicer added, each of whom had gone out to a country and then come back.
