‘Wilder, weirder and more exaggerated’

During the National Association of Black Journalists’ interview of The Former Guy, the criminal candidate’s complaining accusations against immigrants became wilder, weirder and more exaggerated.

We could see him making up more and more ominous lies as his hands played an invisible accordion. The fact that crime statistics for immigrants are far lower than for the general population didn’t retard his firehose of lies.

But one fact should be repeated, over and over, until the public fully realizes how cynical and destructive the whining grump’s mendacity is. A bipartisan bill to allocate more resources to our borders – for both enforcement and for more judges to determine whose claims for asylum are valid – had passed the Senate and was scheduled to pass the House.

Then Don Old Grump told his Republicans to kill the bill because he didn’t want the problem solved while Joe Biden was president.
