Trump and Elon Musk Spark ‘War’ Among Democrats; Gov. Phil Murphy’s False Claims About Immigrant Hosting and More
A Chronicle of Troubling Misinformation and Hazardous Untruths
These Allegations:
“Fight!” “Shut down the city! We are at war!” “Blow this place up!” “We will bring the fire!” “We gonna be on your a–!” “Resist!” — A Variety of Democratic Legislators, this week
Our Response: Let’s talk about insurrection and the incitement of violence. Democratic legislators — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Reps. Ayanna Pressley, LaMonica McIver, Jasmine Crockett, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — expressed utterly unhinged outrage over Donald Trump’s executive orders and Elon Musk’s initiatives to reduce federal waste.
Hmm. Is this what the Dems referred to when they warned that democracy is under siege?
This Declaration:
“That same spirit that Elon Musk has coming from South Africa… we’re not going to tolerate apartheid in America anymore.” — Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Wednesday
Our Response: Jackson took the Democrats’ resistance madness to an entirely new level.
What “apartheid” is he referring to?
Slavery came to an end in this country 160 years ago.
The civil rights movement, which paved the way for affirmative action, occurred 60 years ago. Furthermore, there is zero evidence to suggest Musk supports apartheid.
Spot the Contradiction:
“Teaching critical race theory isn’t happening in classrooms, teachers say in survey” — NBC News, July 2021
vs.
“Trump’s order on critical race theory thrusts White House into the classroom” — The Boston Globe, Thursday
Our Response: Hello? If CRT isn’t taught in schools, as the leftist media claimed, how can Trump’s order prohibiting it bring the White House “into the classroom”?
This Claim:
“We said, ‘You know what, let’s have [an undocumented immigrant] live at our house above our garage.’” — NJ Gov. Phil Murphy, Saturday
Our Response: Dems are competing against one another in opposing ICE raids and flouting federal immigration laws (not to mention the vast majority of voters who want violent criminal illegal immigrants deported).
So Murphy simply lied about personally sheltering an illegal immigrant.
Two days later, his own office backtracked, stating the governor was referring to a legal immigrant… who never lived in his residence. New Jersey’s governor redefines the term “lame” duck.
