Sunday, January 29th, White Nationalist Alexandre Bissonette walked into the Quebec Islamic Cultural Center and opened fire, in a terrorist attack that left 6 Muslim men dead and 5 others wounded.
On Monday, January 30th, White House Press Secretary, the man who lied about the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration, twice posted his own twitter password, and recently shared an Onion article mocking him on Twitter, apparently not understanding that the Onion is satire, or that the article was mocking him, took to camera to state that the attacks supported Trump's 'policies' to prevent terror. While he did not state exactly which policy, it was strongly implied that the attacker was a Muslim (he was not) and the policy was the Muslim Ban (which has been stayed by numerous federal court Judges.)
The loose and free approach the White House and its representatives take to information should be disconcerting to even the most ardent Republican. To discredit reality is to create your own history book. And it is with this tapestry of lies, artfully woven together, Trump and Co are able to create justification for the most bizarre and unconstitutional of behavior.
