Trump Wrongly Tying New Orleans Attack to Immigration |
| Donald Trump's Dangerous Immigration obsession |
In a Truly Lie-Social post, the president-elect wrongly tried to tie the truck attack on Bourbon Street—which was carried out by a Texas native and U.S. Army veteran, according to authorities—to migrants, who he has long targeted with hate-filled political rhetoric.
🤥🤥👖🔥 (pants on fire❗)
When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” Trump wrote.
“The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!”
Trump’s statement followed an erroneous Fox (Fake❗)News report—which the network has since retracted—that claimed the rental truck used by the suspect in the New Year’s Day attack crossed into Texas from Mexico two days earlier.
In fact, the vehicle entered the U.S. from Mexico on Nov.ember 16, driven by a man with no connection to Wednesday’s horrific events.
The FBI identified US-born Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, as the suspect who allegedly drove the truck into a crowd with deliberate intent, killing 15 and injuring dozens more. Authorities say Jabbar was killed after exchanging fire with police.
Officials said Wednesday afternoon there was no evidence tying the attack to the border, though Trump’s inflammatory posts trying to make a link between the two remain up.
He added to his screed at around 9 a.m. Thursday by specifically attacking President Joe Biden. “With the Biden ‘Open Border’s Policy’ I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe,” Trump wrote.
“That time has come, only worse than ever imagined. Joe Biden is the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER. What he and his group of Election Interfering ‘thugs’ have done to our Country will not soon be forgotten! MAGA.”
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said the FBI is investigating the incident as “an act of terrorism.”
The FBI said an ISIS flag was located on the vehicle and that the agency is “working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.”
