The lies never end when it comes to demonizing conservatives.

On April 20th, entrepreneurs, and their supporters participated in simultaneous rallies in both Pittsburgh and Harrisburg to send a message to Governor Wolf that it was time to safely reopen Pennsylvania businesses. Organized by PA Small Businesses Against Governor Wolf Shutdown, the rallies boasted hundreds in Pittsburgh and in Harrisburg and were meant to send a clear message to Harrisburg; “Pennsylvanians want to get back to work again”. Governor Wolf ordered a shutdown of nonessential businesses in mid-March.

On May 1st at 5:32 pm Talia Lavin, former writer for the New Yorker, posted the photo, but with a doctored sign that read; “Work Sets You Free”. A slogan on the sign posted above the Auschwitz Concentration Camp; “Arbeit Macht Frei” accompanied the forgery, Andy Ngo tweeted out the fraud:

Hmmm. Coulda sworn that whit(less)mer also reported swastikas and 'rebel flags' and such at the rally in Michigan. Probably some jacked up pick up trucks with "Dixie" horns honking to just like the General Lee used to do on the Dukes of Hazzard.

That’s the left for you - when reality does not fit their agenda (and it rarely does) they are quite comfortable with lies.

Beware the man at the protest whom nobody has ever seen before, nobody knows, and is carrying the brand new Nazi flag. He probably works for one of those 17 intelligence agencies we are always hearing about.

Yes, Governess Whitmer has been talking about Nazi imagery. And just like that, the debate becomes about who are the “real Nazis” and the original point is lost. A literal false flag operation.

Since virtually anything liberals dislike now is “white supremacist” or “Nazi,”...

The left is very predictable. Unfortunately their tactics work very well because people are basically stupid.

The only swastika sign I saw at a Michigan rally was a sign that mockingly said, “Heil, Whitmer,” accompanied by a swastika. This was obviously just a case of someone mocking her authoritarian policies and likening them to fascism, NOT an instance of the presence of an actual neo-Nazi.
