Is what 'they' said at the outset. Now it emerges he had an ISIS flag inthat his truck at the time! No wonder fewer and fewer people are trusting the

mobilised and fact-checking what's really going on when these incidents
occur. I don't suppose the rather embarrassing presence of the flag would
have been revealed otherwise.

So which is it?

 No point in asking Cursitor Doom - he just looks for fatuous nonsense and posts it here whenever he finds it.
 

Fox News et al. generates a whole variety of fatuous nonsense and they see what gets clicks and eyeballs and what doesn't, throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.
Then they feed the most highly-rated nonsense to Trump/Musk/Vance et al who bring it up in their next speech or X post and the hoi polloi are like "Wow, they know what's on our minds. they really understand us!"
