Kellyanne Conway, the adviser to President Trump who coined the phrase “alternative facts,” is facing another firestorm of criticism and fact-checking after she falsely spoke of a “Bowling Green massacre” by Iraqi refugees. She acknowledged and corrected her mistake Friday morning on Twitter.
(snip)
Ms. Conway did not specify whether she meant an attack in Kentucky, Ohio or Downtown Manhattan, for that matter. But the closest circumstance to what she described occurred in Bowling Green, Ky., in late May 2011.
Two Iraqi citizens, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi and Waad Ramadan Alwan, were indicted on federal terrorism charges. According to a Justice Department news release from January 2013, the two men had attempted to send weapons and money to Al Qaeda in Iraq with the aim of killing American soldiers there.
Both defendants pleaded guilty to the federal charges, and Mr. Hammadi was sentenced to life in prison, while Mr. Alwan, whose fingerprints were found on an undetonated improvised explosive device in Iraq, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison, with a life term of supervised release.
Assistant Attorney General Lisa Monaco said at the time, “These two former Iraqi insurgents participated in terrorist activities overseas and attempted to continue providing material support to terrorists while they lived here in the United States.

Well she did say heads should roll when wrong information is presented.
Who did it, then? That was all I heard.
Good question... I don’t think that there has been any evidence presented that it’s anything other than a nutcase. One thing for sure, there are a lot of questions out there and a lot of what has been said simply doesn’t pass the smell test.

how can you be here since 1997 and not have an ‘about’ page?
>>STOP TALKING TO THE LIBTARD MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE LEARNED THIS LESSON YET?

I know, it’s so obvious. Team Trump thinks it’s courageous to go into the den of iniquity and take them on where they are.
I wish they would bring the hammer down hard and completely cut them out from ALL access to President Trump and ALL his staff.
Even well-known public figures who support President Trump need to refuse to appear or be interviewed by the Communist News Networks (yes, plural).
A complete shut out. At first they would scream and holler, but eventually non-hardcore viewers will turn to other sources to gain viewing access.
It is the media which is running with all this nonsense which is getting the less educated in politics all wound up, and their panties in a twist.
the media are inciting these riots, people getting hurt, and protests.
So are you wanting her to be fired? Not sure why you posted what you did , care to explain?
Nevertrumpers still working for the Dems I see.
I didn’t say I wanted her fired. I only wrote what SHE said should happen to those who present wrong information. I’ve not weighed in.
Never took them time.
Yep, and all along I thought it was Rush Limbaugh that did this.
In my book, Kellyanne “CAN DO NO WRONG.”
The media sets the tone for the reporting. They are inciting hateful emotions beyond anything rational.
Who are you sir knight who is so wise in the ways of science?
