Emptywheel Got Bovino’s Attention

Adjudged liar Greg Bovino would like to remind you that IN ADDITION to the false claims he made about protestors who "assaulted" him, it also turned out a fraction of the people CBP/ICE arrested w/o warrants in Chicago had criminal records.

More lies to come, he promises!!! https://t.co/Iv8shCWQyP

BREAKING!!!

Adjudged liar Greg Bovino wants you to believe this woman is more dangerous than the HUNDREDS of rabid cop assailants Trump freed on his first day on the job!!!! https://t.co/3UCNfMxJW6

Adjudged liar Greg Bovino made similar claims in Chicago.

Those were lies.

Again, why is Greg so much more terrified of peaceful workers than the people who assaulted cops for HOURS that Trump freed on his first day on the job? https://t.co/c9AwP6Qwxf

See? Two pictures later and adjudged liar Greg Bovino is just posting pictures of undocumented people.

The criminals, Greg, are the people who Trump keeps pardoning, not to mention the out of control CBP guys who assault American citizens. https://t.co/y1KZsUcm4H

"Illegal” is not a synonym for “criminal.” Not in the law, and not in law enforcement. Undocumented immigrants are an administrative law issue, not a criminal one. Unless these people have specific criminal charges or convictions, they are not criminals by status of being undocumented.

And all Bovino is proving here is his racism. Brown people are criminals. You can see that in the photographs, right? (I’m also guessing Bovino has moved on from Chicago because that consent decree is something he didn’t want to fuck with.)

This Administration is rotten from head to tail. (And I still can’t fathom how Thune thought he could get 8 Senators million dollar judgements against the government they oversee. Then again, the House GOP in committee voted down an effort to strip that from the bill. Only now, by the time of the Sunday talk shows, did they decide it was indefensible.  It’s all of a piece.)

Does everybody in this Administration spew their bile and ignorance on social media? Do they think that’s clever?
