They think if they keep repeating this lie, eventually a judge will make it true. And they’re probably right.
It’s already true in practice - apparently in Charlottesville, the leftist thugs were given free rein to attack and harass and douse rally-goers with chemical sprays, and did not face arrest or detention from the local cops. And like they say, ultimately, “the law is what you can get away with.”
Per the DNC and mainstream media I think they already have.
