One of the disadvantages of telling a lie in front of a huge national audience is that reality often gets into the way.

For example when you “fact check”TM Donald Trump in front of a national audience of 60 million saying nothing is going on in Springfield Ohio, it just might hurt your credibility when this happens two days later:

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has ordered state troopers and additional funding sent to the suffering city of Springfield, Ohio, to deal with a major influx of Haitian illegal immigrants dropped off there by the Biden-Harris regime:

“I want the people of Springfield and Clark County to know that as we move forward, we will continue to do everything we can to help the community deal with this surge of migrants,” said Governor DeWine. “The federal government has not demonstrated that they have any kind of plan to deal with the issue. We will not walk away.”

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced new state support for the city of Springfield, which is dealing with significant stress on its healthcare and public safety systems due to the influx of thousands of Haitian migrants over the last several years.

And of course as the world has internet it doesn’t help when people can hear this:

It’s a lot like what Ace of Spades noted on the Aurora Colorado story that the MSM initially dubbed as “fake”

Meanwhile, in Aurora, CO, where Tren de Aragau gangsters are definitely not taking over apartment buildings, You Deplorable Racists, police have arrested ten Tren de Aragua gang members for taking over apartment buildings.

Aurora PD arrests 10 members of the Tren de Aragua gang in connection apartment building takeover


Aurora police arrested 10 members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, for alleged violence against the migrant community. City officials stress the gang has not “taken over” Aurora.

Old narrative: these gang members have not taken over any apartment buildings in Aurora

New narrative: these gang members have not taken over the city of Aurora itself

Honestly it’s like the left thinks that video and audio have not been invented.

I’ll give the last word to that noted Trump Fan Marianne Williamson:

“Continuing to dump on Trump because of the “eating cats” issue will create blowback on Nov. 5. Haitian voodoo is in fact real, and to dismiss the story out-of-hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield. Ohio confirms in the minds of many voters the stereotype of Democrats as smug elite jerks who think they’re too smart to listen to anyone outside their own silo.”

Or at least would have if she didn’t get so much backlash that she ran away from her point:

Her comments set off a firestorm among leftists. Williamson’s colleagues wasted no time labeling her remarks as “racist.”

In an update following the backlash, Williamson attempted to clarify her stance:

“The conversation regarding Haitians in this country has gotten out of hand. While my tweet yesterday was not meant in any way whatsoever to feed a racist narrative, we’re living at a time when nuanced conversation is difficult – particularly so on twitter, where people read a few words, don’t even read the whole tweet, and project onto it things that aren’t even there. The larger issue, however, is the safety and well being of human beings. All of us. Haitians are a good people and contribute much to this country. Given the hysteria that’s present around this issue, I’m deleting yesterday’s tweet.”
