In 2013, a pair of bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, injuring hundreds, maiming many, and killing three. In an interview just two hours after the attack (!)—before any of the facts were known and while the bodies were still warm—Justin Trudeau mused on the motives behind it.
Of course, as it came out later, the Boston Marathon terrorist attack didn’t occur because someone felt left out. The bombs were built and planted by a pair of Chechen brothers who had been welcomed into the United States with their families as asylum seekers. (The brothers were later connected to a brutal triple homicide two years earlier in which the victims were all but beheaded.)
The violence in Boston was ideologically driven by political extremism. It had nothing to do with someone feeling “excluded.” (Justin went on to say that these poor, excluded people were “at war with innocence,” whatever the hell that means.) If only we’d hugged them more! It was prime Justin Trudeau: a leadership style that is vague and feel good, with little connection to the real world. You’d almost think he grew up in a bubble or something.
