Reporters have done it again.
The latest media misfire on the Trump administration involves Ibtihaj Muhammad, a New Jersey native who made headlines last year when she became the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal for the United States.
Muhammad, a lifelong American citizen, claimed in an interview last week that she was detained “just a few weeks ago” by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. She said she was held for two hours without explanation.
Her remarks on Feb. 7 earned her an entire news cycle, as several journalists ran with reports suggesting, and alleging outright, that the American Olympian had been ensnared in the president’s executive order temporarily barring immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries.
But Muhammad has since clarified crucial parts of her story, including the date on which she was detained. A Customs official with direct knowledge of the incident has also disputed much of how she characterized what happened.
“She comes and goes many times. She travels quite extensively. She has never been stopped before,” the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Monday in an interview with the Washington Examiner, confirming that she was indeed detained. “She wasn’t targeted. The checks are totally random; random checks that we all might be subject to.”
Muhammad was also not held for two hours, he said, adding that the entire ordeal wrapped up in under an hour.
It’s important to recognize from the get-go that in her Feb. 7 interview, Muhammad didn’t put a hard date on when she was detained by Customs. It’s also probably worth noting that she is an outspoken Trump critic, and that she is extremely displeased with his immigration order.

Freepers caught on to this a while ago....
Vicious lying scumbag POS. Made up a story to attack America, and dishonest churnalists couldn’t even be bothered checking it.
Hmmm...lying to the infidels to promote islam.
That is called something special in the koran
That photo looks like she’s in training to be a beheader. That’s one of the few occupations I am aware of of the muzzie world.

Since she told reporters on Feb. 7 that the incident happened “a few weeks ago” and the EO had been on Jan. 27, and reporter with a brain above room temperature should have realized that she was surely talking about something that happened before the EO and most likely before Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. “A few weeks” would always mean more than two, which means at least 3-4, which means in this case before Jan. 20 and long before the EO.
But ofc MSM scumbags are not honest journalists, they did not want to report honestly, they wanted to report their propaganda.
So, she lied.
And the news media were falling all over themselves to get the story, lie or not, because it fit their agenda, their narrative. They ran with it.
She lied, and her lie was intentional, because the event actually happened in 2016 — weeks before Trump was even sworn in as President.
Anyone who reads history and studies Islam would see it’s a problem.
Islam is a war plan.
That is called something special in the Koran
Is it "Taqqiyah" or "Al-Taqiyah"?
What she meant was that it triggered her into a post traumatic reaction to all previous TSA checks
I knew that she was bad news a while ago:

The US Olympic Committee needs to stop paying her salary and for her travel, at the very least!
Nasty biatch looking for another 15 minutes. Go away.
The lined story mentions the following “news” sources that falsely reported that the “incident” was the result of Trump’s new policies, even though the events took place in December 2016:
Time, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, UK Daily Mail, UK Independent, and The Hill.
There were many others — I recall the original cycle on this and do not frequent those sites. Excellent example of deliberate distortion for political purposes.
Muslims lie. It’s what they do.
