Sean Spicer hints Quebec City mosque shooting justifies Trump travel ban
47 replies, posted
[quote]White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer alluded to the Quebec City mosque shooting while discussing the reasons for President Donald Trump’s travel ban.
The President offered his condolences and support to Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a phone call Monday after the terror attack at a mosque Sunday night that left six dead and multiple others wounded.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the event was a reminder of national security threats.[/quote]
[quote][highlight]"It's a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the president is taking steps to be proactive and not reactive on issues of national security," he said at a news conference Monday afternoon.[/highlight][/quote]
[quote]“We’re going to put the safety of Americans first, we’re not going to wait and react, as I said in the (previous) statement, the president is going to be very proactive in protecting this country,” Spicer said.
“We’re not going to wait until we get attacked and figure how we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.”[/quote]
[quote]When asked about the travel ban, Spicer used almost the same wording as when he was talking about the Quebec terror attack.
That’s despite the fact that the the Quebec terror attack only targeted Muslims, and the travel ban affects seven Muslim-majority countries – as well as the fact that the alleged suspect was from Canada.[/quote]

Right. Because a [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1550715]white, Trump supporting, extreme right-wing terrorist, a Canadian Citizen[/url], shot up a mosque in my country, it justifies your ban on Muslims.
Fantastic logic, Spicer.

Is there new proof that shows they were right wing? or trump supporters?
Does he even understand what happened? How does banning people from coming here stop people who are already here from murdering other people who are already here? Sounds like he just assumed the shooters were Muslim and has no knowledge of the attack at all.

Oh I get it, we ban the muslims so that the nationalist extremists over here aren't tempted to attack them, it makes sense now.
This is going to backfire so hard, it's going to be great.

Interesting, stupid for Sean to suggest the ban either way but even more so when the attack is not from the people that are being banned.

he's not trying to protect us, he's actually protecting them!
I hope they get ripped to shreds for this
Seriously? Anything to make his decisions look good I guess. What happened was horrific and shouldn't be used to try and prove someone right, and all he did was look ridiculous.
Literally victim blaming in this case. Scum of the earth.
Trumps administration is a fucking circus. Problem is, when a circus is full of professional clowns nobody is really surprised when they act out.

Also the ironic fact that he may have been a christian refugee.
Never trust a french canadian. /s

Eh, they're mostly okay. But the province has a little bit of history of the few nutters they have getting together and forming terrorist groups, like with the FLQ way back in the 1970s.
Sean Spicer is not making a very good first impression for himself.

You should've seen his previous press conferences. First, second, and third impressions were all garbage.

Professional is giving them a little too much credit
Obviously. You can't shoot mooslims if they arent any
Spicer really needs to do his basic fucking research if he thinks this is more reason to ban people from Muslim countries from coming in.
Oh wait, he probably thinks Montreal Gazette is fake news apparently just like every other news site besides Breitbart. Nevermind, I guess.
Don't worry, it makes sense when you realize the shooter was a Muslim in Spicer's alternative-world.
Spicer is a fucking idiot. Reminder that he took an Onion article that explicitly makes fun of him as a compliment.

I guess it makes sense that someone on Trump's cabinet would be unable to identify a fake news story.
