There is a case to be made that there is some sort of link between the refugee entry into Sweden and the rise in crime, argued the CNN contributor, who worked as a Trump surrogate during the campaign. Look, some people might dispute that and say its linked to changes in Swedish laws, but there has been an increase in violence.
She then cited terrorist attacks in other countries, including Germany, that have been linked to refugees.
He has a case to be made, and I understand the way he structured his sentence might have not made it clear to some but it was clear to others, McEnany said. I was at the rally, actually, and the person next to me said, Oh, hes talking about something that happened last night on Fox News. So, to some people it was clear, to others, it was not.
McEnany then referred to claims by filmmaker Ami Horowitz, whose work was featured in the Fox News report the president apparently cited, to claim that refugees were responsible for rapes and other violent crime in Sweden.

(9,670 posts)The spin doctors may attempt their sleight of hand to point this towards a (debunked) FOX news report generalizing the effects of immigration in Sweden, but THAT'S NOT WHAT TRUMP SAID.
The free press is indeed the enemy...of lies, distortions, and obfuscations.

"Some people" may dispute it...yeah those people being the Swedes...so please just can it sister.

(129,339 posts)You don't just make up nonsensical "ends" to justify the means. That's the same type of crap that they do for Voter ID laws claiming that "voter fraud" is a thing, which it isn't, but that is the reason they use to justify the laws.

(23,946 posts)the penny pudding brains of Fox viewers and their Great Leader. It is not false news, it is manufactured propaganda intended to incite hate against a particular minority group. It is hate news much like 1930's Germany and we not in the Fox bubble know it.

2. Report on their report saying "sources have reported..."
New twist...
3. Trump repeats bogus reporting citing "people are saying..." "I've seen reoports about..."
4. Fox News reports on Trump's statement based on their reporting on the initial Fox report.
5. Cute fellow traveler on legit news talk show strokes Fox viewers for knowing the "real story."
