Republicans Fearmonger at the Border

GOP lawmakers have taken a trip down South to visit the U.S.-Mexico border. Why? They're attempting to paint the migrant surge — and Biden's response to it — as the "biggest issue facing the country" right now.

COVID Would Like a Word

At the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham asked this rhetorical question: "Why are 18 senators here? Because it's the biggest issue facing the country in many ways right now." COVID could not be reached for comment.

Getting Nostalgic About ... Meth?

Then Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) got a little nostalgic when talking about how Mexican meth has overtaken homemade Montana meth. It's, quite frankly, mind-blowing.

Don't Forget the Drug Cartel

How 'bout one more conspiracy theory, what'd ya say? Here is Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) spouting BS lies at today's border photo op: He stops short of saying the Bidens are getting money from the drug cartel but insists the administration's policies are "absolutely enriching" the cartel.

Democrats Hit Back

Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) were not about to sit idly by while Republicans spread harmful conspiracy theories. Their words are worth the listen.
