'Came through Canada': Trump official bizarrely defends lie about New Orleans killer

[LiberalArkie]

Trump 2024 campaign official Corey Lewandowski defended President-elect Donald Trump for falsely suggesting a man killed over a dozen people in New Orleans after crossing an open border into the United States.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Howard Kurtz pressed Lewandowski on Trump's false claim.

"Why, the day after we all learned that the New Orleans mass murderer was an American citizen and had served in the Army, did Donald Trump put this up on Truth Social? 'This is what happens when you have open borders with weak, ineffective, and virtually non-existent leadership,'" Kurtz Wondered. "What has that got to do with the Bourbon Street killer?"

"Well, Howie, what we know or what we seem to have known about this individual was, yes, he served in the U.S. military, but he also went overseas, I think, to the Middle East, where many think he was radicalized over there and then came through Canada before he came back into the United States," Lewandowski replied deceptively.

Comment: He came though Canada 15 years ago coming back from Afghanistan in 2010 .

What I find interesting is that Trump and others have been harping about Canada and here weeks later an American killer is found to have come through Canada. Conspiracy hat ON. Another planned event. Reminds me of the Ear shooting incident. Are we going to have a "Reichstag fire"? This is getting too weird even for me.

1. Republicans bullying....

they really want to start a war.

2. Being an American citizen, he couldn't have come into the country illegally, duh

[Disaffected]

3. The brazenness of these characters is astounding.

If he was an American citizen and, re-entered the US via Canada, how on earth does that equate to an unprotected boarder??

4. Um yes...

Canada lets people out and then the US border patrol agent decides who comes in. How stupid are these people? If there is an unprotected border involved that would be ours!

6. They are not stupid. They rely on the stupidity of their followers

to believe their absurdities. Thats the problem. Too many stupid people.

5. Lying works for them. Lying all the time works even better for them. What a sad state of affairs.

7. A Trump courtier must always defend what the God-Emperor said, whether it makes sense or not

Trump cannot fail; he can only be failed. And if you fail him, you will be thrown out of the coach for the following hordes to devour.

If Lewandowski hadn't been handed an official excuse by another Trump acolyte, he had to make one up himself. Can you think of one that would have pleased the God-Emperor more?
