Sick: Trump Lovers Hate-Filled Minnesota Crime Spree

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 men arrested and charged Tuesday by the United States Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Illinois were Michael B. Hari, 47; Joe Morris, 22; and Michael McWhorter, 29 all from Clarence, Illinois, a rural community approximately 35 miles north of Champaign-Urbana. To date, these three were only charged with possession of illegal firearms. But per the affidavit of the FBI agent submitted in support of the criminal complaint, Hari, the oldest, was the mastermind of the bombing that targeted the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center that serves the Somali community in Bloomington, Minnesota, just south of Minneapolis.

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.

Nothing to see here. Certainly nothing to support the idea that our pResident is a bigoted fuckwad who incites violence. Get back to us when you find a Mooslim terrorist.
