Inept fabulist and Counselor to President Trump Kellyanne Conway continued her campaign of foisting verifiably false selective information onto members of the press yesterday when she claimed a terrorist tone-beginning had taken place in Bowling Green . Now she ’s the prat of a smashing many joke on Facebook .
Doubling down on her place as a source of “ alternative facts , ” Conway ’s input were seemingly an attempt to both foster anti - Islamic opinion and work up distrust for the media . The fabricated onset — which she toldHardball ’s Chris Matthewswas carried out by two Iraqi refugees—“didn’t get covered , ” implying the wardrobe were complicit in covering up a massacre that never took place . It backfire , big time .
What year this think attempt took place , the act of casualty , or even which of the many Bowling Greens in the United States was never made readable by Conway . Even so , many Facebook user have taken to post statuses that resemble the program ’s emergency Safety Check feature — a means of alert friends and congeneric of one ’s well - being in the event of a catastrophic instinctive disaster or genuine terrorist attack .
Facebook users have , to the easing of bed ones , take to be safe in Bowling Green , New York , Bowling Green , Kentucky , and even specific businesses . There are extra Bowling Greens in Florida , Indiana , Maryland , Missouri , Ohio , Pennsylvania , South Carolina , and Virginia . We ’ll of course update if a terrorist attack occurs retroactively in any of those states .

Though Conway has since tweeted out a non - excuse , mate with a veiled menace towards the insistency , the damage was done . A lingua - in - boldness Bowling Green Massacre Relief Fund sitehas since appeared . Its contribution links all redirect to the American Civil Liberties Union , which is presently embroiled in legal battles against the Trump government activity ’s terrifying overreaches on immigration policy and due process .
As the New York Timesnotes , two men posing as refugee in Kentucky ’s Bowling Green were indict on federal act of terrorism flush in 2011 for seek to sendarms and fundingto Al Qaeda . At the time , the story was picked up by theNew York Daily News , ABC , USA Today , CNN , Fox , theLos Angeles Times , NPR , andCBSamong others . Despite admit the absence seizure of any butchery by Iraqi refugees in any Bowling Green on any engagement at any point in United States history , Conway insists the taradiddle — from 2011 — require more reporting , or is somehow indicative of media pitch .
Maybe , just mayhap , now is a good time to hold back grant Conway interviews so she can gleefully misinform the American populace .
