How Trump-Fed Conspiracies About Migrant Caravan Intersect With Deadly Hatred
NYTimes ^ | 10-29-2018 | Jeremy Peters

...For the last two weeks, Mr. Trump and his conservative allies have operated largely in tandem on social media and elsewhere to push alarmist, conspiratorial warnings about the migrant caravan more than 2,000 miles from the border. They have largely succeeded in animating Republican voters like Ms. Hooten around the idea of these foreign nationals posing a dire threat to the country’s security, stability and identity.

Mr. Trump described them as “an invasion of our country” on Monday and his administration announced plans to deploy at least 5,200 active-duty troops to the southern border by the end of this week, its biggest show of force yet in confronting the migrants

But as the country processes the cumulative trauma of two actual crises that occurred inside its borders — a spate of pipe bombs sent to the president’s political opponents, and the massacre of 11 people at a synagogue by a man who spewed anti-Semitic vitriol and called immigrants “invaders” — there is clear overlap between the hatred and delusion that drove this lethal behavior and the paranoia and misinformation surrounding the caravan.

There’s a man on video admitting he’s an accused attempted murderer.

Another one on video admitting gang members are in the group.

What’s the conspiracy?

Note Obama was never responsible in any way for his “rhetoric” when, for example, a black man went on a rampage murdeinr police officers.

“caravan more than 2,000 miles”

Flat out lie. Plus they are getting rides, probably from soros paid drivers. Make no mistake, they will be here about 3 days before the election for maximum optics and sob stories.

Evidently they have not seen the pictures of these folks pulling down barriers and assaulting police. Lots of young men doing violence.

The first time some lefty’s kid gets the polio-like disease, there will be a call from the left to close the borders.

Not a chance they make it before elections, it will take more than a month. Figure is out yourself - they have covered 200 miles in NINE days- 22 miles a day.

My guess is they are 1000 miles away so they will be here in 46 days if they make it at all.

I don’t think they can make it any closer than 500 miles from the border.

But don’t let these facts stop you from getting hysterical.

I don’t think so. They would never admit it and these invaders are the key to permanent Rat power. Once they flip Texas it’s over. The horde is headed for the Texas border.

Actor James Woods is questioning how the migrant caravan has been able to travel so quickly through Central America without massive aid from authorities and other shadowy groups.

“So consider this: it is over 2,000 miles from Tegucigalpa, Honduras to Phoenix, Arizona,” tweeted the conservative actor. “Hard to believe a bunch of people just randomly decided to pack a lunch and walk TWO THOUSAND MILES to anywhere. Where is this mob sleeping, using bathrooms, procuring food and water?”

At some point an adult will have to seriously get involved with these libtards. Time outs? Sit in the corner? Something has to be done.

I think I will go climb under a rock. All of this is too upsetting.

From 3 days ago. Not from a conservative source. 1000 miles away.

"A caravan of approximately 7,000 refugees and migrants is around a thousand miles away from the US-Mexico border, but the migrants' presence is felt almost everywhere on the campaign trail just a few weeks ahead of the 2018 midterms. "
