Smh.

The left tends to misuse and overuse racism accusations, but Nick Fuentes is a legitimate white supremacist. I would rather he be ignored, but this is despicable normalization and mainstreaming of actual bigotry.
If a Democrat member of Congress appears at a Farrakhan rally, right-leaning media would be going nuts. And rightly so.

Gosar also helped plan and promote the Jan 6th rally. He's a disgrace that doesn't belong near Congress.
Here is just a small sample of Fuentes quotes and views that range from Holocaust denial to overt racism: canarymission.org/individual/Nic…
Fuentes’ speech at this very gathering was about how “they” are replacing America’s “white demographic core”.

Again, he’s not hiding what he believes.

This was Charlottesville in conference form and all semi-decent people should be outraged a Rep chose to speak there.
Gosar randomly says he denounces racism in his CPAC panel but everyone is confused because he didn’t explain the reason he is saying that is he spoke at a racist conference last night:

"Personal truth"

An entitled student made a false allegation of racial profiling while lying about details. The school and the press ignored the facts and pretended it was true.

The only people that did nothing wrong here were the staffers that got punished.
That student didn't just lodge a false accusation of racial bias, but then she publicly smeared the staffers involved as racists and posted their pictures on Facebook. She then accused the Smith admin of "enabling racists"

She ruined lives & somehow was never punished.
And look at the take from the ACLU lawyer that helped lead this smear campaign. Somehow we are supposed to ignore that they tried to ruin several lives based on false accusations of racism because racism otherwise exists as if such incidents don't hurt the fight against it.

This is the problem with lying to people and suggesting kids are randomly being out in cages because your political opponents are in charge...
There are no cages. There never were.

Unaccompanied minors that cross the border are put in detention facilities temporarily. They are then transferred to ORR custody & put in shelters. ORR then looks 4 sponsors (such as family) to take them in while their cases get adjudicated.
Of course, those facilities aren't perfect, but it's also not easy to maintain facilities for tens of thousands of people at the border. It's even more difficult when you have surges at the border caused by policy anouncements (~2014) or spacing challenges due to a pandemic.

This thread is false. As is usually the case with viral threads from this account. The EPA granted Texas the exact waivers they were asking for, just adding in reporting requirements.
You can read the actual order in the second tweet in the thread. As usual, that account invents a story based on partial facts.

The feds also granted the emergency declaration, which Abbott just announced: gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove…
As for portion requiring at least $1500 MWH: That's just what the wholesale price has to be to retailers for the portion of power that exceeds regulations to discourage using it casually, but it's way below market right now anyways. Here is what wholesale market looks like now:

This is just false. It’s mostly based on spin from a report the Cuomo admin released themselves as part of the coverup and ignores a lot of facts. Having alleged fact-checkers saying this nonsense & nodding along speaks volumes about state of media fact-checking.
Why is she ignoring that Cuomo admin didn’t just force sick patients to be discharged into nursing homes, but was only state in the country to name those homes from testing those patients?

Or that they allowed sick staff to keep working for months if they seemed asymptomatic?
Even that cover-up report couldn’t explain why “some 58 nursing homes did not have a single case of a sickened staff member or resident prior to the arrival of a COVID patient from the hospital” propublica.org/article/andrew…

The idea that the only Cuomo scandal is him hiding data on nursing home deaths is nonsense. Cuomo has had at least 10 different scandals throughout the pandemic that have been whitewashed or drastically donwplayed. That was just one of them.
You can start with Cuomo and BDB downplaying the virus and delaying effective lockdown measures by almost a week. They told NY residents the subway was safe.
Then there was the March 25th nursing home order. It didn't just require sick Covid-19 patients to be discharged to nursing homes, but even banned those nursing homes from testing those patients to see if they are contagious (NY was only state to do this)

These neighborhoods also coincidentally happen to be where the most elderly populations reside. Yes, older people tend to vote more Republican. Basically the scandal is that DeSantis is making sure the most at-risk populations get vaccinated.
Yes, DeSantis could have been less dismissive and left out the shot about complaints, but the whole scandal is just another smear by the press that has spent a year smearing him and getting things wrong. Governors getting needles in arms of elderly are doing their jobs.
Florida has more seniors than most states and is doing a relatively good job getting them vaccinated. That’s the goal.

But the press can’t drop their DeSantis obsession so they constantly look for an angle to make him doing his job into a scandal.
