Ahmed Truth!

Parody can barely outsprint reality these days. And yes, there really is an Ahmed Truth Movement (ATM): a swirl of conspiracy theories collectively suggesting that the boy who made that clock that was mistaken for a bomb, Ahmed Mohamed, maybe wasn’t so innocent after all and actually was up to no good. We mentioned the day the story broken that the Mayor of Ahmed’s town, Irving, Texas, is actually a big anti-Islam, anti-Sharia crusader. And surprise, surprise, she’s stepping forward to lead the Ahmed Truth Movement. Katie Thompson has the story.
