Just when you thought this dumb story was over. Ugh. I think it was a ploy. Did he even go to the White House? Nope. At least not yet. I doubt he really will.
According to the article, he is scheduled to go to the WH on Oct 19.
The point is Obama proclaimed to the media that Ahmed had built a “cool clock” and made a point of inviting him to the White House. This produced the false narrative and helped the MSM in its false narrative of Ahmed the persecuted young genius. It also created the false narrative of Muslims being persecuted in the US.
The Obama Administration persuaded others to portray Ahmed as a scientific genius. Ahmed and his “cool clock” are invited to the White House on October 17.
