Summary
Donald Trump falsely linked the New Orleans truck attack, carried out by U.S. Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, to immigration, despite authorities confirming no connection to the border.
Trump’s claims followed a retracted Fox News report and contradicted FBI findings that Jabbar, a U.S. citizen, acted alone in what is being investigated as terrorism.
Trump doubled down on Truth Social, blaming Biden’s border policies and proclaiming, “Trump was right about everything.”
An ISIS flag was found on the vehicle, with the FBI probing potential ties to terrorist organizations.
Here’s how Fox News propaganda works: They will repeat the man’s name, non-stop. There will be no mention of him being a U.S. Army veteran, certainly no mention of his citizen status. They’ll likely throw a few offhand questions about how he got to America, even if he was born here.
I’ve watched Fox more than I ever wanted to. They rarely tell an outright lie, though they don’t question guests who do so. The brainwashing techniques are in your face, no subtlety. Hell, after a week I hated Obama, never wanted to hear the name gain.
