Trump and MAGA Blame Migrants for New Orleans Attack … Falsely

A true leader is expected to embody qualities such as truth, honesty, and composure during challenging times, like the recent New Orleans Truck Attack.

However, what did Trump do? He immediately jumped on the bandwagon of spreading anti-immigrant misinformation, following a flawed report from Fox News. Instead of waiting for the facts to emerge, he blamed completely unrelated criminals supposedly crossing into the U.S. from abroad. Even after the suspect was identified as a U.S. citizen from Texas, Trump failed to correct his initial assertion.

And let’s not forget Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also decided to blame migrants for the New Orleans attack without any evidence to support her claim. Once again, the suspect turned out to be an American-born citizen.

It seems that Trump and his MAGA supporters are desperately trying to pin the New Orleans attack on the border, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. How surprising. According to the FBI, crime rates have decreased. However, politicians continue to selectively use statistics to support their own narratives.

Ah, the delightful right-wing propaganda machine, tirelessly working to pin all violence and societal issues on migrants and immigration. How original.
