So shortly before Trump had a rally in Michigan there was a murder done by an immigrant who has been here since he was a child. A “dreamer”. He got in trouble a few times and was ordered deported. Latino on Latina crime. In a realtionship. The victim’s name was Ruby Garcia.

He politicized this event to demonize immigrants with a backdrop of a bunch of acab-3 frothingfash LAW AND ORDER!

In doing so he claimed he talked to the victim’s family. - He did not.

This also triggered a Republican anti immigrant DC stink tank to attempt to label Kent County where it happened as a “sanctuary city” to amplify political points - It is not.

The perp also ended up taking refuge in a church. The church took him in not knowing about the murder. Just he really fucked up and knows his family wouldn’t take him. Stayed the night. Then called to confess from the church and turn himself in.

meow-popcorn The entire dramatization that the Republican media and establishment aparstus now has a some egg on their face, including trump-anguish.

And now it might discourage immigrants from reporting abuse

    Not seeing how this backfired, actually.

    The actual reality of the situation is irrelevant. Sure, he lied about a bunch of shit, but it feels true to them and that’s all that matters. If Republicans have egg on their face, it’s because they’re snakes in the hen house (or idk something - I don’t really get that saying tbh)

      yeah i don’t see how this matters to anyone relevant. republican hypocrisy does not matter at all to the faithful and liberals already drop their monocles whenever rachel maddow tells them about something trump does.
