In the hours after the Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting, highly influential right-wing accounts and Republican lawmakers falsely identified one of the shooters as "Sahil Omar".

The attacker was reported to be an illegal immigrant in his 40s.

It was the latest fake rumour mentioning the "Sahil Omar" name, which has been linked to a number of other recent events: an explosion at a border crossing in Niagara Falls, shootings in Las Vegas and Prague, a sexual assault on the London Underground, a gas explosion in Texas and others.

But not only was nobody named "Sahil Omar" involved in any of these incidents - there's no evidence he exists at all.

Fancy that; right wingers and Republicans simply making shit up.

Who could have ever expected that ?
