Kellyanne Conways Bowling Green massacre isnt the only case of a White House aide pointing to a terror attack that didnt happen to make the case for President Donald Trumps controversial executive order limiting travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer has repeatedly pointed to Atlanta, along with San Bernardino and Boston, as one of three U.S. cities that have been attacked by Islamist terrorists to argue that the Trump administration needed to act quickly to prevent another attack in the future.
While the Boston bombing and shootings in San Bernadino were both carried out by Islamist terrorists, neither involved foreign nationals from the seven countries in Trumps executive order. There has never been an Islamist terror attack in Atlanta.
In a Jan. 29 appearance on ABCs This Week, Spicer explained to Martha Raddatz that the White House needed to implement its executive order quickly, before another terror attack could take place. What do we say to the family that loses somebody over a terroristic (sic), to whether its Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber?
Never Remember Atlanta. Thoughts and prayers for the nonexistent victims of the Atlanta attack that happened only in Sean Spicer's imagination and got covered up by every law enforcement agency and media outlet to help Obama. The survivors have been silenced by socialism.

Trump's divisive violent rhetoric makes America great again?
Stop whining, snowflake?
It's disturbing how badly Trump's administration wants bad things to happen to Americans. It is very concerning.
