Residents and visitors in the Hawaiian Islands Saturday received a missile warning alert in error, but not before creating a panic on social media.
The alert read in all capital letters: “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.”
The alert was sent sometime after 8 a.m. local time, and many people took to Twitter to share screenshots of their phones.
A second emergency alert went out about 40 minutes later clarifying that the first alert was a false alarm, CNN associate producer Amanda Golden tweeted. “Repeat. False Alarm” the second alert read.
The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency eventually tweeted “NO missile threat to Hawaii.”

Because Trump is to blame.for everything, per liberal criteria. Even if not factually correct, somehow they will find a way to blame it on Trump.

We are going to find out what happened and why.
This better not be a hack.
How do we tell the hundreds of thousands of young children that when Mommy and Daddy made them crawl into the bathtub and they started praying.....
This is pure terror.

Trump’s fault in 3, 2, 1.
Bunch of morons. They’ll do this a few more times so the real alert will be laughed off.
