Kellyanne Conway
Kellyanne Conway The Stranger

Earlier this week, Trump plaything/talking head/ alternative fact-spewer/ I'm not really sure what her job actually is/ spouted off some completely untrue nonsense about a terrorist massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 2011, which never happened.

She was talking about the immigration ban on Chris Matthews' "Hardball," her very own personal safe space, when this tangle of words that mean nothing came out of her mouth:

"I bet, there was very little coverage‍—‌I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized‍—‌and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. I mean, most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."

That's because a massacre never really happened.

While there were two radicalized Iraqis in Bowling Green who were arrested and convicted of terrorism-related charges in Bowling Green in 2011, there was no massacre. Those arrests did get coverage.

While Conway later said she misspoke, the Internet (and the world) is good for at least one thing in this horrible alternative fact reality we are living in now: making diamonds out of coal, making lemonade out of lemons, and creating memes out of hot garbage.

Some amazing American hero created a website, The Bowling Green Massacre Fund, to raise money for the nonexistent victims. When you click to donate, it goes to the ACLU.

A few brave souls took to the streets to protest:

Meanwhile, Twitter did its thing:


Thank you, Internet and humans for giving us a chuckle during these dark days.
