The White House will not officially comment on the bombing of a Minnesota mosque because it may be a hate crime faked by a liberal, according to Trump national security adviser Sebastian Gorka.

An as-of-yet unidentified individual threw a makeshift bomb through the window of a mosque in Minnesota Saturday, and Gorka was asked on MSNBC Monday if the White House will comment. Gorka said that the White House will “absolutely” comment once there is a finalized investigation into the incident.

“There’s a great rule: All initial reports are false,” Gorka said. “You have to check them and find out who the perpetrators are. We’ve had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes by right wing individuals in the last six months that turned out to be prop propagated by the left. Let’s allow the local authorities to provide their assessment and then the White House will make its comments.”

But Trump has, in the past, commented on attacks without full information, including a recent June attack in the Philippines, which may have been a robbery gone wrong. He has not been so fast to cry terrorism after the Minnesota bombing, despite the fact that Minnesota’s governor called the attack terrorism.

4. He's talking out of his ass, as usual

and describing the world as he wants it to be, not as it is.

He will be silent as a tomb when the cops catch the bomber and it turns out the guy has a supply of MAGA hats in his closet.

Make a completely apolitical statement about this travesty and say you will put the full force of the White House behind the investigation???

11. Seems like they would be dialing up the outrage to 11 if it really were 'faked' by liberals.

Either way, the mosque really was attacked.
