CNN Forced To Pull Down Social Media Post Downplaying Bombers In New York City As Innocent Teens

Damn how a soulful walk into a New York City park by two innocent, wealthy teenagers can turn into a literal bomb on a nice warm spring day.

After all, what’s to quibble with a walk in the park?

Two impressionable Pennsylvania teens were just out to enjoy the beautiful change in seasons.

Then suddenly they decided to throw bombs at the home of the New York City mayor.

Not to worry, says the Clinton News Network otherwise known as CNN.

The CNN brains posted on “X” a laughable pasting-over of the violent duo with a post reading as follows:

Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.

But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.

Apparently they realized how foolish they looked waxing poetic about a stroll that turned downright bombdelicious.

So they quickly pulled down the post, lest they be seen for the joke that they are.

The two strollers were eventually charged with throwing makeshift bombs at Gracie Mansion.

The bombing occurred during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home.

The cop-hating Mamdani – who previously has criticized police for trying to quell protests – suddenly turned pro-law enforcement, denouncing the anti-Islam “rally” as being “rooted in bigotry and racism.”

He called the bombs being thrown into the crowd “disturbing,” but tonight it was terrorism.

“Disturbing.”

Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were charged with providing material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction, among other charges, after they threw two improvised explosive devices, also known as IEDs, during a protest, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.

Mamdani might be easily confused with the city’s first Muslim mayor who during his campaign apologized for once referring to the NYPD in a social media post as “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.”

The same guy who spent four years at Bowdoin College in Maine spouting white supremacy whenever he had an audience.

The same guy who ended up marrying Rama Duwaji, a woman he met online who was all in when it came to cheering on the October 7 murderous rampage Hamas inflicted on Israel.

Duwaji, as it was learned this week, “liked” a 2024 social-media post dismissing an investigation into sexual violence committed during the terrorist attack as a “mass rape” hoax.

Her view is what’s to fret over an occasional terrorist attack among friends?

All in a day’s stroll for peaceful protests.
