Not Terrorism? Democratic Congressional Candidate Blames Manchester Bombing On Sexism – By Matt Vespa / May 23 2017
Cortney covered the horrific terrorist attack in Manchester, UK after an Ariana Grande concert, which left 22 people dead, including an eight-year-old girl, and at least 50 people wounded. It’s the worst terror attack the United Kingdom has experienced since the London July 7 bombings in 2005. Twelve of the 22 fatalities were under the age of 16. The UK authorities are treating this as a terrorist attack. The perpetrator of this suicide bombing was 23-year-old Salman Abedi, who detonated his explosive near the box office of the Manchester Arena. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

“When a man straps on a bomb of nails, goes to woman’s concert to kill an audience of women and girls – IT’S A SAFE BET SEXISM IS INVOLVED. ” — Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) May 23, 2017
What in the fresh hell is this? People are dead. Families are grieving. A nation is shocked, and we have this nonsense pouring into the mix. It’s unseemly. It’s uncalled for—and it’s wrong. This is an act of terrorism. We really don’t need a social justice warrior 101 analysis of this attack.
