This week’s Mainstream Media Scream features MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts on Sunday suggesting that tweets from President Trump on the London killings were meant to provoke a domestic terror attack.
Roberts, in the noon hour Sunday to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed:
“One of the tweets from five hours ago was: ‘We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart, it will only get worse.’ Again, I also mentioned he went on a Twitter rant about the travel ban and having that re-instituted, you know, saying: ‘We need be smart, vigilant and tough.’ I just want to ask you, you know, the President doesn’t want us to be politically correct, right? So let’s not be PC about this. Is the president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with this Twitter rant, because only to prove himself right?”
Fears of new terror attack after van ‘mows down 20 people’ on London Bridge…

Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains the pick: “Ludicrous. How deep must Thomas’ animus toward President Trump go for the MSNBC anchor to even hint at such an evil desire? This is the kind of hatred which led Kathy Griffin to consider it amusing to hold a mock up of Trump’s severed head.”
Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his “no reason to be alarmed” statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!
