According to Berkeley professor and former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, Donald Trump’s “lies” caused the riots in Sweden on Monday night.
Earlier this month, Reich floated the insane conspiracy theory that Breitbart plants were responsible for the riots at Berkeley. That’s since been thoroughly debunked.
Floating another loony theory Tuesday, Reich said on Twitter: “Trump’s lies have consequences. 48 hrs after his comments on Sweden, riots broke out in an immigrant community.”
The riots were actually triggered by the arrest of a drug dealer.
Trump lied about nothing, it was the media who lied by falsely claiming he said there was a “terror attack” in Sweden “last night.”
Twitter users mocked Reich in response:
@RBReich yes, the regular rioting in parts of Sweden are Trump inspired particularly the 2008 Malmö riots. ??????https://t.co/SuMvwHEGaB

@RBReich Please explain to me how a riot that was started by migrant gangs over the arrest of a drug dealer is the work of Trump lies?

@RBReich Your kidding right? Your trying to say the riots in Sweden happened because of Trump? Right, and Benghazi was cause by a video.

Some dumb people actually believed him:

@seanpowell2013 @RBReich @washingtonpost Sean, what planet do you live on? You believe @realDonaldTrump is to blame? Shameful!

@RBReich @washingtonpost No man’s words, especially this man, should have that kind of influence over any man, woman, child or nation.

@JatikaSpeaks @RBReich @washingtonpost You’re to blame. This has been going on before Trump was in office. Stop using fake news

Why is Berkeley getting federal funding when their most famous professor is pushing insane conspiracy theories and blaming our president for riots halfway across the world without any evidence?
If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?

Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize this lunacy.
