CNN under fire for linking Barcelona terrorist attack to Charlottesville
The Hill ^ | Aug. 17, 2017 | Jonathan Easley

CNN suggested Thursday that the terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain may have been inspired by the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., because both involved a vehicle running down pedestrians.

The claim has drawn criticism because vehicle-ramming has been used before by Islamic extremists to carry out terrorist attacks. Investigators have not drawn any links between the incidents in Barcelona and Charlottesville.

If anything, it’s more likely the other way around.

In Barcelona, Germany and France we saw what someone determined to kill people can do with a vehicle, dozens killed, many more injured.

Just remember, it has nothing to do with Islam......

They don’t care about any flack for this. They just care that the point was made, and they will now move onto the next bit of nonsense. Rinse and repeat. All coordinated with the MSM, DEMs, and Soros.

Wow. “If it smears Trump, run with it.” And these are people who are actually wondering why their credibility is at subzero levels.

Wolf Blitzer is incapable of seeing any evil in the world other than Donald Trump. If they get Trumps removal accomplished the world will be perfect again.

CNN idiots wake up every day asking themselves “What can we bring up that can hurt Trump” Id call CNN morons but that would be an insult to morons..even they have a purpose..but CNN, they are so wrapped in their own Communist agenda they can’t see the forest through the trees..Trump made a fool out of them, all their collusion with Clinton failed, giving her the questions in advance, all failed and they just can’t stand it

They said the same thing for the Orlando massacre, saying white Homophobia drove it. 7th century islam did not wait for Charlottesville or Hitler to do terrorist acts...

A mucking fuzzy kills humans and CNN tries to pin it in on humans, rather than bearded savages.
CNN is on the side of the savages.
