Trump regime is using the power of the state to chill dissenting voices. In addition, it is perpetuating a culture that doesn’t just condone, but requires, lying to the American people.
“He helped craft a statement to the media saying, “Some of them were able to elude us thanks to the mayor’s irresponsible decision.“ He was comfortable with that statement, he said, because it included the words “some of.“
“This is a spin statement. This is what every public affairs officer does,” Schwab said.
A week later, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ language was noticeably different. He said “ICE failed to make 800 arrests” because of the mayor’s statement. Sessions’ words didn’t sit well with Schwab.
“Completely false…that made me extremely uncomfortable,” Schwab said.“
Like idk his whole job is lying to the American people under the Obama and Trump administrations he basically admits that himself. He only got uncomfortable when the lies got too specific.
Like yeah it’s beyond fucked up that DHS sent investigators to intimidate him but how do you think we got to this point? Chelsea Manning was imprisoned, Edward Snowden is in exile he got off easy compared to whistleblowers during the Obama administration
