The day before, the Navy Seal who killed bin Laden blasted Trump for 'trampling on the graves' of heroes




U.S. President Donald Trump defended retweeting a widely debunked conspiracy theory about Osama bin Laden during a town hall event on NBC on Thursday.

Moderator Savannah Guthrie asked Trump about the retweet, saying, "Why would you send a lie like that to your followers?"

Trump replied, "That was a retweet, I’ll put it out there. People can decide for themselves.”

Guthrie, not satisfied, hit back, “I don’t get that. You’re the president. You’re not, like, someone’s crazy uncle who can just retweet whatever.”


Trump spread the conspiracy theory with a retweet on Twitter Tuesday, alleging that bin Laden is still alive and Joe Biden and Barack Obama “may have had Seal Team 6 killed.”

The former Navy Seal who killed bin Laden blasted Trump on CNN Wednesday. Robert O'Neill, 44, expressed to host Chris Cuomo his shock to see the "highest-ranking person in the country ... trampling on the graves of some of the best heroes" in the United States.


The tweet Trump retweeted read, “Hiden Biden and Obama may have had Seal Team 6 killed! EXPLOSIVE: CIA Whistleblower Exposes Biden’s Alleged Role with the Deaths of Seal Team- Claims to have Documented Proof. RETWEET!!!”

• The tweet came from an account linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory and linked to an article that further laid out the conspiracy theory.

The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer explains that this “bizarre theory, which is outre even by the standards of the right’s usual Benghazi claims, also alleges that Osama Bin Laden’s body-double, rather than the terrorist mastermind himself, was killed in 2011.”



Twitter has since suspended the account Trump retweeted after the tweet went viral as a result of Trump boosting it. Reactions on Twitter were quick and condemned Trump’s promotion of the conspiracy theory.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper called it “sheer lunacy.” Trump critic George Conway jested, “gosh, the president should be careful what he retweets because people might get the impression he is possibly deranged.”

@WebMaster I don't normally request, but this is huge. Needs to be pinned. Pandora box is now opened.

 

[hussain0216]

This was always believed

It always felt like bullshit

The likelihood was that OBL died years before due to medical conditions


The problem was the U.S didn't want to accept that & couldn't sell it to their public

So they just did a indianesq fake operation and built a fake narrative
Now confirmed by the President of the U.S.A who presumably can request the full information

End of story as far as I'm concerned

I guess people are tired of the Coroana virus talk now that they feel its all over and restarting trade war talk about China doesnt bode so well with Trump not just completely failing to tackle their trade deficit and internal economic problems leading to it but making it much worse. Not trying to hurt Russias feelings but Americans dont really care about unspectacular Russia politics either anymore. So the invisible Muslim enemy has to be revived.

 

[Neurath]

This is what I like about Republicans, especially Trump. He's made Obama regret his life at this point.

 

[cloud4000]

Unless OBL releases a video discussing the pandemic, this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. That Trump retweeted a tweet is all you need to know.

This thread should be closed. It’s a waste of time. And those that believe in it will look like fools.

 

[I S I]

wait he is alive?

talking about Trump.

 

[313ghazi]

From the horses mouth. Trump is exposing the establishment

OTOH the entertainment quotient of such a debate could be great.

So how are Biden and OBL coordinating such a high level attack against a SEAL Team?

 

[YeBeWarned]

well he is the President of the USA so , his words hold some significance right ?

 

[Path-Finder]

NOW WHAT????

This is for you Indians, when all these years we been telling you, now your daddy Trump saying the same.


ENJOY!

I couldn't have said it better, after years of wanking over the so called obl raid and making Trump their deity. this has to be hard hit.
