In order to lend credibility to Trump’s Muslim ban, Kellyanne Conway aka Baghdad Barbie “has blamed two Iraqi refugees for a massacre that never happened,” according to AOL News.
“Conway is building a reputation for citing falsehoods, untruths and outright lies as ‘alternative facts.’ The latest such example of this is an interview she did with MSNBC where she spoke about the ‘Bowling Green massacre’ in an effort to defend Trump’s controversial travel ban. The trouble is there was no such massacre.
“‘I bet it’s brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalised and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre,’ Conway told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball programme. ‘Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered,’ she continued.”
She’s right, it didn’t get covered. That’s because it’s a figment of her confusion. Watch video below and read story here.
Update: Just hours after the story broke of Conway’s latest foot-in-mouth escapade, she walked back her assertions, calling them an “honest mistake.” The problem is, a lot of dittoheads who saw this interview on Fox now believe it’s true, and will never believe otherwise. The damage is done and can’t be undone. When you speak for the President of the United States, you need to fact-check and what you say has to be right. Conway has repeatedly played fast and loose with facts. It’s time for you to quit, Barbie. Nobody believes you anymore. Sadly, this is the kind of people Trump surrounds himself with.
