CNN Guest Connects Trump to Mosque Shooting in New Zealand

By Nicholas Fondacaro | March 15, 2019 12:42 AM EDT

Minutes after news broke of a tragic shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand (at what ended up being at least two mosques) during the second hour of CNN Tonight and with almost no information for the shooter or shooters, Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan claimed that “far-right terrorism” was on the rise in the United States and blamed President Trump for attacks both here and abroad.

After listening to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern deliver a press conference on the shooting, Hasan was the first guest host Don Lemon went to and cited his guest’s Muslim beliefs.

“And I think to kind of talk about the story we talked about before in terms of Trump's rhetoric as well. Western government has turned a blind eye to domestic terrorism, to domestic far-right terrorism,” Hasan proclaimed.

 CNN‘s brand of journalism isn’t really journalism. It’s group therapy for NeverTrumpers.

Sounds like an antifa-type leftist/anarchist, to me.  The exact opposite of a "Trump supporter".

Just like Chuck Manson. 'Cept rats in '69 weren't so depraved as to blame Richard Nixon for Manson.
