Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This denial:
“There was no violence” in LA in response to ICE raids.
— Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Tuesday
We say: Maybe Waters doesn’t consider it “violence” when rioters assault ICE agents, slash tires, burn vehicles, drop cement blocks and other objects on officers, lob Molotov cocktails, deface property, loot stores, hurl rocks, target law enforcement with fireworks, shut down roadways and more.
Yes, much of it was caught on camera and shown on national TV, but how can you believe your own eyes when Maxine insists it’s not so?
This claim:
“People . . . the vast majority of whom have never done anything wrong, are being abducted [by ICE agents].”
— Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, Tuesday
We say: Please. Kimmel couldn’t name a single person arrested by federal agents who’s “never done anything wrong.”
Every illegal immigrant detained by ICE did at least one thing wrong by entering the United States illegally.
And the “vast majority” have done far worse, including: murder, child-molesting, drug-dealing, money-laundering, human-smuggling, burglary and more.
This headline:
We say: Could a headline be more misleading?
Abrego Garcia was far from a “wrongly deported Maryland man”; he was an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who is linked to MS-13, is now charged with human-smuggling and was alleged to have participated in a murder.
Oh, and he was ordered deported, though not to his native country, where he was accidentally sent.
This tweet:
We say: Team Trump is ending the outrageous Biden-era loan-forgiveness plans and repayment freezes for student borrowers and insisting they pay back what they agreed to. That’s “reckless”?
Truth is, Warren’s demand that taxpayers — ones who never got student loans for college or who’ve repaid them diligently, or never went to college — subsidize these borrowers is the true “blow to hardworking Americans and our economy.”
