“Republicans are more likely to trust Trump than official election results”

Republicans won’t accept it if Trump loses. He will not admit he lost if he loses now. He said in the debate that he was being sarcastic when he admitted to losing in 2020.

This election will be ugly.

That's funny BC he just admitted he lost the last election.

More on right-wing lies about Haitians

Trump lied during the debate. He’s an evil lying bigot.

Last month, Aiden Clark was killed after a minivan went left of center, causing his school bus to crash into it and go off the road, flipping over. The minivan was driven by Hermanio Joseph, a Haitian immigrant in the country under temporary protected legal status. Joseph was…

Spreading bigoted and false claims about Haitian people to stoke fear is hateful and disgusting.

Haitians are good people. Hard working people. ⁦@JDVance⁩ ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ and ⁦@elonmusk⁩ ⁦@X⁩ platform have not right to spread false claims, to lie …they don’t love immigrants and they don’t love USA, a country of immigrants.. https://t.co/tKyPeQ36D5

So the fantasy that Haitians are eating Springfield, Ohio's ducks seems to come from a YouTube comedian pretending to run for mayor of a county that has no mayor https://t.co/tqYPfteBCI who livestreams from the scenes of car accidents he blames on Haitians https://t.co/qcd2OUX50g https://t.co/kG5LGs0f2d

Is immigration a vulnerable topic for Harris?

I don’t think she’s as vulnerable as it may appear.

1) Border crossings are lower in recent months after being high
2) Trump lies about countries sending criminals here and lies about the volume.
3) Trump got Congressional Republicans to kill a bill on immigration because improving the situation would be bad for him politically.

Trump lies about tariffs

If tariffs increase the price of an item, the seller will just increase the price for the consumer. The company is not going to absorb the tariff. Trump lied about this in the debate and many times before.

US businesses and consumers paid Trump's tariffs on China.

US importers make the literal tariff payments, and study after study has found that American consumers bore the costs.

Thing is, tariffs aren't just a tax on imports. They also reduce competition, leading American companies to raise their prices. https://t.co/Wy8eaoH9qO pic.twitter.com/HQMvG7TH7f

The right-wing lies about noncitizen voting

Why don’t you say they lied? Trump lies too but you won’t say that either. The media helps Trump and the MAGA cult when they use wimpy words like misleading.

The right-wing lies about crime by immigrants

In 2023, 15,300 people apprehended at US borders had a prior criminal conviction.

This number of arrests represents 0.7% of all border apprehensions by Border Patrol in 2023.

A person can be arrested multiple times in a year, so arrests may outnumber people. #Debate2024

The “free state of Florida” is a hoax.

More like a police state with DeSantis “election police” showing up at people’s houses to intimidate voters who signed Amendment 4 petitions.
