Twitter ruthlessly mocks Kellyanne Conway's 'Bowling Green Massacre' that never was
'It's not just the Bowling Green Massacre. Refugees were also behind the Midsomer Murders."
Kellyanne Conway has been ridiculed after blaming two Iraqi refugees for a massacre that never took place. Twitter users have shared light-hearted images and videos showing their interpretation of the so-called Bowling Green Massacre.
In an interview with MSNBC on 2 February, Trump's senior adviser said that Barack Obama's decision to pause the processing of Iraqi refugees in 2011 had been motivated by a "massacre" masterminded by two Iraqis.
She added that most people weren't aware of it "because it didn't get covered". Conway was right to assert that the incident wasn't covered – in fact, it never happened at all.
Now people have begun to imagine their own 'bowling green massacres' and share them with others on Facebook.
Andrea Mann shared a Beryl Cook painting depicting some elderly ladies on a bowling green polishing their balls while one of their playing partners lies comatose on the floor.
Happy toast uploaded a picture of a cake decorated with an injured bowler complete with a streak of 'blood' trailing away from him. It is adorned with the words: "Never forget."
Joshua Helmer wrote: "Glad to see Bowling Green Massacre trending. Gedling & District losing 18-4 to Clifton at home is humiliating. They are a failing club. Sad!"
A satirical swipe from comedian David Schneider read: "It's not just the Bowling Green Massacre. Refugees were also behind the Narnia Bombings, the shootings in Atlantis and the Midsomer Murders."
