The left never lets its myths die. Today, hashtag Mike Brown trended on Twitter, not because the

assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors got a new contract. No, it's because Michael Brown,

you know, St. Michael of the gentle giantedness, died two years ago today. Which of course means

the media have to rehash their utter lie that Brown was a wonderful, gentle giant young man

shot in cold blood by an evil white cop, all the while shouting hands up, don't shoot, which of course is complete crap. Here's what you need to know. First, Michael Brown was a criminal. He strong-arm robbed a convenience store moments before he was pulled over by Officer Darren Wilson, along with his buddy, Dorian Johnson. But don't worry, he was just an innocent young man minding his own business. Second, Michael Brown attacked a police officer. So after he was pulled over, Brown leaned into Wilson's window and punched him in the face, which typically is bad strategy if you don't want to have a run in with the cops. He then reached over to Wilson's gun and tried to grab it, and then when the gun went off, he took off and he ran. Third, Brown charged a police officer. After, Officer Wilson popped out of the car and told Brown to freeze, Brown decided, you know it's a great idea. I'm going to turn around and charge the officer while shouting at him that he can't do anything to me. Turns out the officer could and shot him to death. Fourth, Dorian Johnson, Brown's thug best friend, he lied. Brown never said hands up, don't shoot. He never even held his hands up by both witness and forensic testimony. He certainly didn't surrender at any point to the officer. Fifth, members of the Ferguson black community pressured witnesses to shut up or lie. President Obama maintained in the middle of all of this that, quote, this is not just an issue in Ferguson. This is an issue for America. There are problems in communities of color. They're not just making these problems up. Except that the community of color in Ferguson actually did make it up. They threatened witnesses who contradicted the narrative. One witness told the cops that threats were actually made two other witnesses. Another admitted that witnesses were embellishing testimony. Twelve witnesses told the police that Wilson shot Brown from behind. Only one problem. He didn't.

Sixth, the media tried to turn this incident racial. There was no evidence whatsoever

Wilson shot Brown for any other reason than the threat to his life, but the Eric Holder,

racist justice department found there was no rationale for any sort

of federal prosecution of Wilson.

Seventh, none of this matter.

The media decided the narrative of an innocent black man shot for no reason by a white

officer simply had to stand, and then they justified the riots in Ferguson based on that

lie.

Obama used it as an opportunity to push forward his racist agenda.

The Black Lives Matter launched itself on the back of a lie. And so here we are, two years later, and the left is still pushing its lies, because after all, the myth has to be created. And it has to be created in a controversial episode to craft the perception that America is deeply divided on racial issues. If they picked a different episode, if they picked like LaQuan McDonald, for example, we'd all agree. So instead, they picked a bad example on purpose. And they did so because first, they don't care about facts. And second, they need opposition in order to show that Americans are racist. But, you know, facts actually do matter. Michael Brown was a criminal who tried to kill a cop and the cop killed him instead. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

I tend to demonize people because don't care about your feelings. Ah, here we are. It is a Tuesday.

And once again, I am healthy and life is beautiful and it's a wonderful thing, except of course

for politics, which continues to stink beyond all human imagining. Our political scenarios tend to be bad, and now they've gotten even worse. But today, the big boo-boos was Hillary's big boo-boos. So Donald Trump will talk about his economic speech, the Trump-Nomics plan, in just a little while, and we'll get to this massive conservative infighting that's now taking place in the media sector. But we have to start off with Hillary Clinton making a giant, giant boo-boo. So today's Hillary Clinton giant boo-boos. She was giving a rally in Kissimmee, Florida. And you'll notice something in the tape that we're about to show you. One of the people who's sitting behind her on stage is Siddique Khan. You'll recognize his face. Sidique Khan was the, or, yeah, I think his name

is Sidic Khan, correct? He was the father of Omar Mateen, who is the shooter in the Orlando

jihadist. Maybe Sadiq Mottin. I have to have to check the name. But in any case, he's sitting behind Hillary. Everybody's looking around at this going, wait, wait, hold on a second. So the guy who shot 49 people in Orlando, like five minutes away from where Hillary is giving this rally, is sitting behind Hillary at the rally clapping for her? Oh, yes, it happened. It's real. Sadiq Matine, that is his name,

sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton, grinning away like a crazy person.
