Twitter Fails to ‘Fact Check’ Reza Aslan for Claiming ‘Trump Supporters’ Are Looting
Breitbart ^ | May 30 2020 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Twitter has yet to “fact check” a tweet from former CNN contributor and progressive author Reza Aslan that accuses Trump supporters of being responsible the violence and looting that has broken out around the country.

“White Supremacists=Trump Supporters. These are Trump supporters burning and looting,” said Aslan on Twitter, in response to a post from a CNN reporter stating that authorities are “monitoring alleged criminals online, including postings by suspected white supremacists trying to incite violence.”

From this claim, Aslan somehow inferred that Trump supporters are behind the violence.

That’s a whole new level of delusion.

Probably isn’t any need to fact check something that stupid.

First, Reza Aslan is the “journalist” who ate human brains on TV to help all of us bigots be more inclusive of some weird cannibal religious sect. Remember him?
Yeah, that guy.

Second, here he makes an defamatory accusation against Trump supporters while offering zero evidence to back his claim that it’s actually happened.
Third, nevertheless rioting “Anti”fascists *could* easily don MAGA caps *precisely* to sow such disinformation, and CNN would gleefully put it on blast.
Fourth, I therefore conclude Mr. Aslan has a plan here, and he’s hinting that he hopes his Antifa friends will think it’s a good idea and do it.

CNN contributor and (gag) progressive author Reza Aslan has a stunning ability to discern the origins of rioters.

Give this guy a reality show....quick.

Aslan tweeted: “These are White Supremacists--- Trump supporters burning and looting,” tweeted Aslan
after getting hyped by a CNN report about “postings by suspected white supremacists trying to incite violence.”

From this braindead claim, Aslan somehow inferred that "Trump supporters" are behind the violence.

Reza Aslan is a deluded follower of Mad Moe. As such he's a natural ally to RATs .His evil religion believes anybody not Mozlem must pay Mozlems or die. The ultimate gimmedat. Looting Infidels fits naturally into the Koran since Mad Moe was himself God's anointed thief. Aslan's lies are part of the cult.

Not a progressive but rather an Alinskyite and fascist.

Americans have a right to PEACEFULLY protest.

Looters are traditionally subject to being shot.

When National Guards are activated they should have real ammo AND rules of engagement to use them.

It is a crime to incite a riot.

It is a crime to destroy public or private property.

I know a few white Karens who will repeat that, now - because “CNN says.”
