Blitzer: There Will Be Questions About Whether Barcelona Attack Is ‘A Copycat Version’ of Charlottesville Attack

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf,” anchor Wolf Blitzer stated that there will be questions about whether the Barcelona terror attack was a copycat of the Charlottesville, Virginia car attack.

CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Scuitto said, “[I]n light of the uproar over the last several days, five days apart, you have white supremacists in Charlottesville use a vehicle to kill, and here you have — attackers at least following the modus operandi of terrorists using vehicles, apparently to kill as well. And it’s that — those shared tactics that should be alarming.”

Blitzer added, “Yeah, and there will be questions about copycats. There will be questions if what happened in Barcelona, was at all, at all, a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. Even though they may be different characters, different political ambitions, they used the same killing device, a vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians.”

Somebody who had the brains not to be Wolf Blitzer.

There are no questions whether you are a fool, Blitzer.

I consider Blitzer and his network as traitors to western vivilization, traitors to reason, traitors to truth and facts.

CNN covered up torture, abuse, and murder under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad Bureau.

Stalinists lie. Always

Ted Turner’s Commie Globalists can go f*** themselves. They are rotten hatemongers and anti-American bastards.

Wulf is such an extreme idiot to even equate Charlottesville and Barcelona. It is more likely that the Charlottesville driver/killer copied ISIS than the other way around.

It never occurred to Blitzer that Charlottesville was copied from radical Islamists?

Perfect example of pushing a narrative and agenda.

I believe they overestimate the ignorance and gullibility of most Americans. I have no doubt many fools will actually subscribe to this absurd notion, but how can they expect that this will actually further their agenda over even the short term?

If an MSM headline appears with this hypothesis, I can see plenty of Fake News tweets soon after.

Yeah, Wolf, because never in the history of mankind had a human being thought use a motor vehicle to mow down his fellow human beings.

Exept for that one time in London.

Oh, and that other time in London.

And that time in France.

And that time in Las Vegas.

Did I already mention that time in Stockholm?

The main collaborators were the Arian Christians. The holy wars between Niceane and Arian christians paved the way for Islamic conquest and the Muslims took advantage of the splits created by Christian intolerance and bloodshed by offering minorities and majorities quality in Dhimmitide as opposed to the “Christian” death squad, espulsion, and forced conversion approach of the time.
