Mayor Moron III

Dorothy Rabinowitz is as disgusted as we are with the mayor of Philadelphia. Jim Kenney was shockingly quick to deny the shooting of a Philadelphia officer was in any way related to Islamic jihadism despite such an admission from the shooter himself.

The mayor’s comments, so bizarre in their determined denial of the deluge of facts delivered by top police officials standing next to him, were, nonetheless, familiar enough. Americans have learned to expect, after every Islamist terror attack, lectures instructing them that such assaults should in no way be connected to Islamic faith of any kind. 

To hear the mayor of Philadelphia was to grasp, more clearly than ever, the fury that has led to Donald Trump’s success in attracting voters—the fury of citizens who know official lies when they hear them, whether about border security, immigration, or the ever-expanding requirements of multiculturalist dogma.

Read it all.

UPDATE: A friend of ours says that Kenney was trying to make a "nuanced" point about the teachings of Islam. Kenney's point was anything but nuanced. In our opinion it was the opposite of nuanced. It was a clumsy, ham-fisted, arrogant and ignorant all at the same time.
