Fake News

Judge Thomas' wife making shit up again.

Quote:
On Tuesday, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of far-right Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, posted an image to Facebook purporting to show the violent nature of the so-called migrant "caravan" now making its way through Mexico. The image depicted what is purported to be the severly bloodied face of a Mexican police officer who was assaulted by the migrants.

"The media won't share THIS, will they?" she wrote. "It is an invasion, and thank GOD for President Trump."

Oh, fuck, the caravan really is a bunch of violent marauders! :eek: Oh, wait.

The problem: the meme is fake. According to Snopes, the image is actually from a clash between Mexican police and student protestors in Mexico City in 2012, and has nothing to do with migrants.
I wonder how things will shake out next time an election issue makes its way up to the Supremes? :chin:
