Donald Trump Jr. Retweeted a Drudge Report Tweet:
That's right, people are writing that migrants are armed with bombs.
"The second migrant caravan, believed to be armed with bombs and guns, crossed into Mexico on Monday despite a huge police presence," writes the Daily Mail.
"Believed" is a good way of putting it, because it's total bullshit.
If you want to, click here, to read the article. You'll notice that none of the pictures they posted in the article showed any of the migrants with a gun or a bomb, as I noted on Twitter:
That's right, there is a picture of a migrant holding a couple of rocks. So close to a RPG.
Donald Trump Jr. wasn't done retweeting stupid shit:
He may not have been a Trump supporter, but as Adam Serwer has pointed out, the synagogue shooter believed Trump and other Republican politicians spreading of conspiracy theories that Jewish people, namely George Soros, were helping the migrants.
There was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) who promoted the conspiracy theory that George Soros was funding the caravan:
In a tweet, Trump tweeted that America was dealing with an "invasion"
Serwer writes on how the shooter believed the kind conspiracy theories that a Matt Gaetz was spewing, and believed Trump that this was an "invasion" (emphasis mine):
Before committing the Tree of Life massacre, the shooter, who blamed Jewsfor the caravan of “invaders” and who raged about it on social media, made it clear that he was furious at hias, founded as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, a Jewish group that helps resettle refugees in the United States. He shared posts on Gab, a social-media site popular with the alt-right, expressing alarm at the sight of “massive human caravans of young men from Honduras and El Salvador invading America thru our unsecured southern border.” And then he wrote, “hias likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.”
The reality of it Don Jr., is that this guy was such an insane bigot, that your dad wasn't even hardcore enough for him.
