Conservatives on the New Orleans NYE Terrorist Attack

Conservatives on the Twixxer are losing their minds about (at least...) two things:

First: LEOs on-scene seem to have zip-tied the ISIS flag on the back of the perpetrator's truck.

Second: a black FBI agent initially claimed that it wasn't a terrorist attack.

As for the flag, tons of righties are claiming that it's just COMPLETELY INSCRUTABLE WHY THE FBI WOULD CONCEAL THE FLAG THE ONLY REASON IS AN ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM!!!!1111

I mean...this is so absurdly obvious that there just doesn't seem to be any explanation for this wave of mass stupidity other than ideological blindness...

Here's the obvious explanation: the FBI (or whoever) didn't think it was a good idea to give ISIS a PR win by broadcasting pix of an ISIS flag proudly waving in the midst of the carnage. So they zip-tied it. Or whatever.

See?

It may not be the right explanation--in fact, the true explanation could be nefarious.

But it isn't even a little bit difficult to identify a plausible explanation other than TEH FBIZ LUVZ IZIZ!!!111

As for the back female FBI agent:

Jeez, give it a rest. I doubt she was just freelancing. Seemed to me that she might have been trying to say that they weren't yet categorizing it as a terrorist attack...I don't know. I only saw the clip once and I'm not interested enough to go hunt it up.

We've got a lot of examples of failed DEI hires. Kamala Harris. KBJ. Sotomayor. I saw no reason to think this person was one of them...but, again, I haven't been interested enough to look into it much. This is the kind of thing that some want to call "woke right." Not me. But some people.

Oh, and a third thing:

As for Trump basically proclaiming the perpetrator to be an illegal alien...right before we found out that he was a born-and-bred Texan with military service...

Well, Trump is Trump.

We knew what we were getting.

Dumbass.
