Sick: Trump Lovers Busted in Hate-Filled Minnesota Crime Spree
These three guys who worship Donald Trump blew up a mosque in Minnesota. They drove eight hours. Lots of closer mosques. Why? Good question.

Start with a big helping of pro-Trump, then throw in some of Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric. Next, add a chunk of rabid anti-abortion feeling, with a really big dollop of gun love. Now mix that together with pinch of Rebel flag and what do you have? Some would say the GOP base. But in this case you get a group of three right-wing terrorists who were responsible for bombing a mosque in Bloomington, Minnesota in August 2017.

The authorities aren’t sure yet why Hari, Morris and McWhorter drove from their sleepy little rural community over 500 miles to target this mosque. But let me offer at least one reason: Donald J. Trump.

Hari, a former local sheriff’s deputy, was a big Trump fan. I’m not just talking the type who would wear a MAGA hat. Hari literally wanted to build Trump’s wall on the Mexican border. Hari was interviewed in April 2017 as one of vendors vying to win the contract to build Trump’s beloved wall, where he served up a buffet of white nationalist buzzwords: “We would look at the wall as not just a physical barrier to immigration but also as a symbol of the American determination to defend our culture, our language, our heritage from any outsiders.” Beyond just a monument to white supremacy, Hari’s detailed proposal for the wall included a walkway that he hoped would allow it to also become a beloved tourist attraction “on par with the Washington Monument.”

But why would these men drive eight hours to attack a mosque in Minnesota, as opposed to just driving two hours to Chicago, where there are numerous mosques and which is, after all, located in their home state? Trump twice during the 2016 campaign specifically demonized the Somali Muslim community in Minnesota. First in August 2016, when Trump declared that the State of Minnesota is having “tremendous problems” because of the influx of Somali Muslims, smearing them as turning the area into a hotbed for terrorism.

And then again just the day before the November 8, 2016 election, there was Trump back in in Minnesota feeding more anti-Muslim and specifically anti-Somali red meat to his base. Trump declared, “Here in Minnesota, you’ve seen first-hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with very large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge.” Trump added, “Some of them [are] joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world.”

1. Only reason we dont see MUCH more violence from the deplorables is we still

have a certain level of law and order, but that could go away very fast if elections are stolen.

2. Notice the Major Media has been silent.

How more of this Bombings did these Guy's do?

Great Police Work.
