“Finally”: Swedish Leftist Journo Rejoices Over Notre Dame Fire

It’s all a big joke.

Swedish leftist journalist Alex Schulman reacted to the Notre Dame fire with the word “finally,” alongside a series of crying with laughter emojis.

Schulman writes for Expressen, a liberal daily newspaper in Sweden. Ironically, he previously wrote a piece mourning the loss of dignity and decency in how people treat each other.

He is known for upholding politically correct narratives, although not when it comes to showing sympathy for Christians, which apparently is a big joke.

The post, which was made on the 43-year-old’s Instagram page, prompted a wave of angry responses.

“Finally? Is this what you have longed for? That a cathedral should burn up? I hope this is a misunderstanding,” investigative journalist, filmmaker and activist Nuri Kino tweeted.

“Would Mr. Schulman do the same if a mosque burned down?” asked another respondent. “You mock believers of Christian faith, you mock an entire nation and an entire city. Christian minorities have been persecuted by Islamists and you write ‘Finally’. The signal value of your pathetic tweet strengthens their right to continue.”

But remember, the notion that anyone celebrated or justified the fire is a “conspiracy theory” according to BuzzFeed.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
