Due Process Of Law Is…

Just as we provide asylum for political prisoners, we should do the same for truckers who have been subjected to violence, had their property confiscated, and their bank accounts frozen by a government that is quickly becoming the embarrassment of the free world. 2/3

...in the eye of the beholder?

I am introducing legislation that would temporarily grant asylum to innocent Canadian protesters who are being persecuted by their own government. We cannot be silent as our neighbors to the north are treated so badly. 3/3

Or it’s just fan service.

Everything the Canadian government has done has been pursuant to a Canadian court order. The people subject to the order have been treating the residents of Ottawa badly. The Canadian government is not repaying them in kind, it is enforcing order. And the law.

Then there are just the lies.

A lesson in how misinformation becomes fact in too many minds. Thread:

Meet @SaraCarterDC. Her bio says she's an award winning correspondent who works with @FoxNews.

Three hours ago, Sara tweeted that someone in the occupier demo died after police on horses pushed through. 1/ pic.twitter.com/fpaYDctQVn

Yeah, that didn’t happen.

As people began to RT and amplify her post, some also responded with comments calling this out as untrue, including shortly after her post, a tweet from the Ottawa Police. 2/ pic.twitter.com/1u8yNQeRSm

There’s a very long thread on the details of the lie, which starts out with “reports” from “people on the ground” and ends with arguing the picture proves the police are lying (although the whole story falls apart). First class journalism, in other words. From FoxNews.

Good thread. One thing worth adding is that Carter’s misinformation was also spread by elected officials like Tex Cruz, further validating it. https://t.co/lAeMeFCQa4 pic.twitter.com/DWB8dOxksH

You left it up for 15 hours and no doubt deceived thousands of people https://t.co/sSQCBvVZyJ

So this bothers you equally as much, Senator?

The FBI seized nearly $1 million from Carl & Amy Nelson—and never charged them with a crime.

To survive, they sold their house & car, liquidated retirement, and moved their family of 6 into Amy's sister's basement.

This story is a nightmare. My latest: https://t.co/DUiLQo0nKp

I mean, at least the truckers are subject to a court order.

Yeah, I didn’t think so. Not something FoxNews is paying attention to, right?

This is the guy “conservative leader” Mike Luttig mentored. And Luttig is being praised for his concerns over conservative leadership in the GOP because of Trump.

I’ll retire to Bedlam…
