An analyst at CNN just couldn’t resist the urge to politicize the terror attack in Manchester last night. He suggested that the attack could be a right wing false flag attack. You know, to make Muslims look bad.
The Daily Caller reports:
In Absurd Pivot, CNN Suggests Manchester Was Right Wing False Flag
A CNN analyst suggested that the Manchester bombing could have been a false flag during a segment Monday night.
During Anderson Cooper’s AC360 , CNN terror analyst Paul Cruickshank admitted that a suicide bomber was more than likely responsible for the explosion at Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert ended. However, he floated the idea that the bombing could have been part of a right wing extremist plot.
“It must also be noted that in recent months in Europe, there’s been a number of false flag plots where right wing have been trying to blame Islamists for terrorism,” Cruickshank said. “We have seen that in Germany in recent weeks.”

I looked this up with the full intent of debunking an Internet rumor, but yes, a CNN analyst actually suggested this https://t.co/h0onRMZ3c0
