By Oliver Willis - October 23, 201818 Comments23100
Pence spun a deranged theory that a group of refugees are secret terrorists who are from 'other than Mexico that means from the Middle East region.'
Mike Pence is amplifying Trumps racist attack on a group of Honduran refugees, who are traveling north in a large group to keep each other safe on their long journey to seek asylum in the United States.
Trump is telling blatant, racist lies about these desperate people. He made the baseless claim that criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in with the migrant group, and called the caravan a national security threat.
Even Fox News has admitted that there is no evidence to support Trumps claim, which some conservative commentators and anchors on the network have repeated.
And while it doesnt seem possible, Pence actually made Trumps crazy, racist conspiracy theory even crazier and more racist by insisting that statistics prove there must be some Middle Eastern terrorists hiding amid the Honduran refugees, and that its inconceivable for Trump to be wrong about this.
Shockingly, Pence also claimed that the Trump administration routinely describes Middle Easterners as being from somewhere other than Mexico.

(11,489 posts)We have to arrest Khashoggi's killers because they were incompetent. I'm sure the Prince wants them back so he can punish their incompetence. Maybe while we are ferreting out the Khashoggi killers from the mob of criminals headed towards the border, we can talk to some of the MS-13 gang who will surely be in the crowd. I'm sure they are far more competent murderers than the Khashoggi bunch and Lord knows the Prince needs some competent people to carry out his murders. He's already got about 18 people he's going to need killed real soon before they are dragged into court.
