Nikolas de Jesus Cruz .... White Nationalist. That not an impossible formulation, but it should make a reporter or an editor or a “source” at the SPLC or ADL think about it for a couple of minutes. I guess they assumed that the “k” in Nikolas meant he was a Russian spy.
Why would a white nationalist claim a mass murderer as a member? To tar conservatives, because the average moron associates racists with conservative. So we can reasonably hypothesize a couple things:
- white nationalist group leaders are deep state actors?
- white nationalists are NOT part of the political right. They are barely closeted Marxists?
It was a 4 chan prank that the press fell for.
“The Associated Press is admitting that they were lied to by a white nationalist who claimed his group was connected to the school shooter in Parkland, Florida.”
They weren’t duped. They absolutely loved the idea of the narrative and threw every canon of journalism out the window to print it.
The first people to ask to a poker game.
It’s an article of faith, though, now out among liberals, especially those who do less research and more or less following the herd. And it wouldn’t surprise me to have prominent liberals who do know the truth still refer to him as a white supremacist. It’s gratifying and motivating to their base, true or not. The left has become unified in lockstep fashion under their propaganda machine.
Too many people believe the AP to be omniscient. Perhaps this group should be exposed, put faces, names and deeds out there.
