White House defends silence on mosque bombing, says it might have been faked by liberals

The White House will not officially comment on the bombing of a Minnesota mosque because it may be a hate crime faked by a liberal, according to Trump national security adviser Sebastian Gorka.

An as-of-yet unidentified individual threw a makeshift bomb through the window of a mosque in Minnesota Saturday, and Gorka was asked on MSNBC Monday if the White House will comment. Gorka said that the White House will “absolutely” comment once there is a finalized investigation into the incident.

“There’s a great rule: All initial reports are false,” Gorka said. “You have to check them and find out who the perpetrators are. We’ve had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes by right wing individuals in the last six months that turned out to be prop propagated by the left. Let’s allow the local authorities to provide their assessment and then the White House will make its comments.”

But Trump has, in the past, commented on attacks without full information, including a recent June attack in the Philippines, which may have been a robbery gone wrong. He has not been so fast to cry terrorism after the Minnesota bombing, despite the fact that Minnesota’s governor called the attack terrorism.

1. I heard the POS say that.

2. The Pres.could have made a comment without placing blame. What a bunch of crap from the WH.

[Thrill]

3. Great leadership by Trump

Fox would be melting down if PBO had said some shit like this about a bombing

[gratuitous]

4. If it had been faked by liberals, wouldn't that be all the more reason for Trump to comment?

Nazi Gorka's bullshit comments don't even make internal sense. He claims there have been a series of hate crimes that turned out to be propagated by the left. Name one, you waddling toad.

I realize Gorka's gotta gork, but does MSNBC have to provide him a platform?

5. Stop. Which hate crimes are you referring to exactly??

Or just let him spew his lies unchallenged.

6. Are you fucking kidding me??????

8. This is a tried and true trick of RW media. Stall and wait for another story to pop up

Radio and Fox News do this all the time. Dylan Roof? Got very little mention on either. Something new came up - often created by the "news source" - and that takes center stage. When a Republican does or says anything that usually would be devastating the Hannity's soak up airtime with "does he have a RIGHT TO SAY IT?"

Their viewer knows nothing of some stories, or at least has has the correct spin on it, so they sound like "FAKE NEWS".

At least the FBI, and even DHS, know it's real. http://www.startribune.com/blast-investigated-at-bloomington-islamic-center/438715693/
