President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday suggested “radical Islamic terrorism” and President Joe Biden’s “open borders” were to blame for the deadly New Orleans truck attack, even though the suspect was an American-born military veteran.

Although he did not specifically name the New Orleans killings of 14 New Year’s revelers, Trump left little doubt that he was referring to the attack allegedly carried out by a Texas man who had pledged allegiance to the radical Islamic State terror group.
 
“I said many times … that radical Islamic terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe,” Trump wrote on his social media site. “That time has come, only worse than ever imagined.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It appears the Daily News hints that Trump is wrong.  If they are correct, then the FBI is wrong.

Half right.  Radical Islamic Terrorism was the cause, but it had absolutely nothing to do with open borders.

Homan made the same error.  Unless they are trying the big lie tactic (originated by Woodrow Wilson's Committee for Public Information and adopted by the Nazis), which I hope they are not -- that should be left to the Left -- connecting evil deed perpetrated by American citizens to open borders makes them sound stupid.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
