Most Donald Trump supporters still think the 'Bowling Green Massacre' is real

Kellyanne Conway made up the terrorist attack in Kentucky to justify the President's travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries

More than half of Donald Trump supporters think a made-up massacre actually happened, even after the fabricated story was widely debunked.

In a new poll, 51 per cent of Trump voters agreed that "the Bowling Green Massacre shows why Mr Trump’s immigration policy is needed".

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway stated that two Iraqi refugees were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre in a televised interview — before having to clarify that the attack in Kentucky’s third most populous city never actually happened.

Ms Conway used the alleged massacre to justify Mr Trump's travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries.

A couple weeks ago drove by there on our way back home from Nashville. Got a good laugh from it. It really is quite amazing the things the Trumpers believe.

They live in Bazarro World where everything is the opposite (like his cabinet). Everything that IS real is "fake" to them and vice versa. What the media should do is actually tell the public that the real stuff is fake, then they will believe it.

CNN, "Today Mueller announced that there was no Russian meddling in the election and it was all Obama's fault".

Translation to the fake prez's cult/base, "The Russians did meddle and it wasn't Obama's fault".
