Ahead of tonight's #GOPDebate, advocates and experts raise concerns about the dangers of normalizing rhetoric associated with the great replacement conspiracy theory, like describing migrants and asylum seekers as an “invasion.” bit.ly/3RCMJ1Q

"The media has an obligation not only to avoid normalizing this dangerous rhetoric, but to actively call it out for what it is: anti-immigrant, antisemitic, and racist lies that have fueled a cycle of extremist violence." @amyspitalnick @theJCPA
@amyspitalnick @theJCPA “Rhetoric that is linked to real-world acts of violence like ‘invasion’ and ‘replacement’ has no place in the public debate about immigration and the border. We can disagree on how to approach the challenges we face, but words matter." @vcardenasDC
