Don’t Let Donald Trump Get Away With This Sick Lie About The Orlando Shooting [View all]

The gunman lived in the U.S. his whole life. This is not about refugees.

As part of that mission, Trump is working to portray gunman Omar Mateen as an immigrant, a refugee and a foreign menace. Mateen never would have been in the U.S., Trump argues, if we had listened to him and enacted a ban on all Muslims entering the country.

In a national security address on Monday, Trump even said, seemingly in error, that the shooter was born “in Afghan,” a statement that makes such little sense that it wasn’t technically a lie. But his intention is clear.
