On Saturday -- the five-year anniversary of the horrific slaughter -- politicians and activists again ratified the outright fiction that Omar Mateen was motivated by anti-LGBT hatred.
It is well past time this lie stop. It dishonors the victims and obscures the real motive.
It is well past time this lie stop. It dishonors the victims and obscures the real motive.
Instantly, politicians seized on this tragedy to politicize the attack. Obama claimed it was anti-LGBT hatred, not his bombing raids, that caused it. So did Hillary and even Trump. Liberal journalists like @HeerJeet lied, saying it proven it was a hate crime. This was all false. 
Perhaps it was understandable at first to believe this. It played into stereotypes of gay-hating Muslims and psychotic self-hating closeted gay men. But journalism has to operate on evidence, not speculation, and there *never* was any for this storyline. It was fabricated.
Whatever was true at first, the evidence is now conclusive that Mateen was motivated by rage at Obama's bombing campaigns and killing of Muslims. He had no idea PULSE was even a gay club. Only neocons believe in "noble lies." This one should stop.

Just as with the autopsy of Brian Sicknick showing he died of natural causes, and the IG's Report proving Park Police planned to clear the park long before Trump decided to go there, there are people whose faith won't allow them to accept evidence here:
