#FakeNews: Muslim Athlete Detained Under Travel Ban Actually Detained Under Obama’s Ban, Not Trump’s

RedState  . . . "Ibtihaj Muhammad became a media star during the summer Olympics when she became the first female Muslim-American to medal in the Olympics for the United States. The New Jersey. . .  made headlines last year when she became the first female Muslim-American to win an Olympic medal for the United States.

"Winning international attention for wearing a hijab during competition, Muhammad’s bronze came as a member of the winning U.S. team in the Women’s Team Sabre competition.
"Muhammad was recently back in the headlines when the drooling mainstream media highlighted her story of being detained at an airport because of Trump’s recent “travel ban”. There’s only one problem…it was Obama’s “ban” that caught her in the red tape, not Trump."
. . .
"She either doesn’t say or doesn’t know. Without any further verification, the hysterical press used her story to push the narrative that Trump’s very narrow (and now halted) travel measures were affecting scores of innocent Americans.

"Of course, the details of the story are irrelevant. A narrative must be pushed, journalism be damned."
