we are back on reliable sources of course talking about midterm time in america. trump continues to hold rallies every day, continues to repeat many of the same falsehoods and lies that we have been hearing especially regarding the caravan of migrants moving through mexico. of course there has been a lot of reaction to this. his hysteria and hysteria on the right about the caravan and a corn reaction, mockery on the left. here s what i mean on snl last night. a vicious caravan of dozens maybe millions of illegal immigrants is headed straight for you and your grandchildren. and that is not fear amongering. that s just the truth. trump is like a racist paul revere, the my gran are coming, the migrants are coming! but trump s words and lies are not a joke.
george soros is absolutely wrong, the subject of this right wing fear amongering. addleson is the subject of the same kind of fear amongering on the left. president obama made the same sort of remarks about the koch brothers. while the right wing was critical of both of those things i don t recall the mainstream media bringing the same amount of attention to it at the time. the same scrutiny. the same sort of scrutiny and attention to it at the time. ng it is owl wrong. they are kpiz exercising their right of free speech and if people have a problem with it they should change the law rather than demonizing people who exercise their rights to free speech as it exists. david, we know trump is going to be on sean hannity s show on monday. i would expect more of the same heading into tuesday. absolutely. remember sean hannity on the border with like bandalerros on
