Another fake attack: Sean Spicer referenced nonexistent Atlanta attack three times
President Trump’s bellicose press secretary, Sean Spicer, is taking a page from the Kellyanne Conway playbook when it comes to mentioning terrorist attacks that never happened.
In his ongoing bid to defend Trump’s travel ban on Muslims, Spicer has on three separate occasions referred to a terrorist attack in Atlanta. The first was on Jan. 29, when he asked “What do we say to the family who loses somebody over a terroristic (sic) — to whether it’s Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber? Those people, each of whom had gone out to a country and then come back.”
The comment about Atlanta was overlooked at first — he could have meant Orlando — but on the next day, he brought up the city again.
“There was a very short period of time in which we had something to execute that ensured that the people of the United States were safe. Everybody’s been protected,” Spicer said on Jan. 30. What happened if we didn’t act and somebody was killed? . . . Too many of these cases that have happened — whether you’re talking about San Bernardino, Atlanta . . . Boston . . . would you wait until you do? The answer is we act now to protect the future.”
