This week, the media blew up over President Trump's allegations last Friday night at a rally that there had been some sort of terrible event in Sweden. He said, quote, last night. They suggested that Trump had mentioned a phantom terror attack in the same way Kelly Ann Conway mentioned the Boling Green massacre, and Sean Spicer referenced a terror attack in Atlanta that never happened. Here's what Trump actually said in his speech, we've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden.

Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems they never thought possible.

This is a near perfect example of how Trumpian rhetoric polarizes the electorate. Why? Because Trump was wrong to say

something had happened in Sweden last night. Nothing had happened that night. But he was absolutely

right to point out increased crime problems among Muslim immigrants to Sweden. Conservatives reacted

to Trump's comments by pretending that Trump had never used the phrase last night. Leftists

pretended nothing terrible had ever happened in Sweden, ever,

ever, ever. Then, last night, actually last night, news broke of a Muslim immigrant rally. This is

from the local newspaper. Sweden's capital was plunged into chaos on Mondays. Police were forced

to fire at rioters after violence erupted in an area described as high risk. The terrifying scenes

took place just hours after the country's prime minister, Stefan Lofven,

slammed Donald Trump for claiming Sweden was in crisis as a result of its liberal refugee policy.

Stockholm police were forced to fire a shot into the rampaging crowd in the hard-hit suburb of Rinkby

after a mob of around 30 thugs started attacking the officers with rocks.

Violence erupted after the police had tried to arrest a wanted person on the subway.

Here's the thing.

Sweden does have a serious problem with rising rates of rape

correlating with increased immigration from Muslim countries.

As Joe Curl of Daily Wire points out, quote,

there were 66.5 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 inhabitants last year. That's triple, right? It's up from

24.9 in 2003. It's one heck of a jump. Even ABC News was forced to acknowledge that Trump wasn't

entirely wrong. This is from ABC News. Last year, 112,645 violent crimes were reported in Sweden.
