Here's the thing: the "raid" never happened.

Well, I'm glad it never happened. Not only because people being murdered is bad, but because the idea someone could waltz across the border and murder someone is pretty freaky. Granted, we do that to other people, but hey, I'm an American, it shouldn't happen here. I'M SPECIAL GOD DAMN IT.

Right wing conspiracy theorists don't care that this is a fake story.

They're sticking by this being an Obama coverup.

Why? Because they want to. No other reason whatsoever.
