As the news broke that there had been a mass shooting at a gay bar in Florida, the gay community instantly erupted in accusations that Christians were responsible for the murderous act.
Only minutes after she learned of the shooting, political activist Suzanna H Porter jumped to her Twitter account to tweet that the man who shot up the Pulse gay bar in Orlando was an anti-LGBT white guy.
Hours later, once she was proven to be an alarmist liar, Porter deleted her entire Twitter account in shame.
But Porter wasn’t alone.
A tweet from Hoosiers for Hillary posted that the terror attack was directed at Gay Pride month when we now know it was not.
Further, a commenter on the gay news Twitter feed “Pink News” insisted “Christians planned this.”
There were many more like this, of course. These are just the few I highlight here.
The idiotic lies these people were spouting were reflected in early media accounts of this story, too. Early on Sunday morning MSNBC had Jim Cavanaugh, a so-called “law enforcement expert” for the network, on TV and he said the shooting was likely a white guy who hated gays.
In the end, we all now know that this act of terror was committed by an ISIS-connected Muslim from Florida who is a registered Democrat voter.
