The guy was an American, not an immigrant. Trump’s lie will stir up anti-immigrant sentiment and I don’t expect him to correct it.
Great column by @nberlat.bsky.social:"The ugly truth is that Trump and MAGA wanted the attacker to be an immigrant, and now that they know he isn’t, they’re shameless enough to just to forge ahead with pretending that he is."www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-new-…

"First, he flunked a test of accuracy, pushing misinformation within hours of a deadly attack. Second, he flunked a test of decency, trying to exploit the attack to advance an ugly and misguided agenda. And third, Trump flunked a test of credibility."

Donald Trump is actively using what happens in New Orleans to promote a fake anti-immigration agenda. It's shameful.

Minutes after Fox falsely reported the New Orleans truck attack suspect had just crossed the border, Trump claimed that he was an immigrant. The Fox-Trump feedback loop is back. http://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/new…

This isn’t rocket science. He lied. He pushed erroneous garbage without knowing facts, knowing full well his base will never pay attention to the clarification.
