Social media was lit up with disbelief as the lawyers for the family of the terrorists that killed 14 people held a press conference denying all terrorist ties.
Here’s the entire bizarre presser:
At one point, one of the lawyers says that it doesn’t matter if they visited Islamist sites, and gave the Britney Spears defense. When pressed on what motive there was for the slaughter, they cite that someone made fun of his beard. Yup, really. They accuse the FBI of Islamophobia, the press of Islamophobia, and the GOP candidates of Islamophobia. In all of this they deny any terror ties, but their defense is that the FBI can’t find links to an organized terror organization. Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t mean that they weren’t inspired by Islamism, and there’s plenty of evidence for that.
Farook attorney says female suspect was a "typical housewife." Wonder if any housewives I know make pipe bombs?

The Farook family attorney says he packs heat himself, has thousands of rounds of ammo and is worried about Obama coming for his guns.
