Republicans have a ghoulish tactic for distracting from Trump’s criminality | Sidney Blumenthal

Trumpists are painting Biden's border policies as a nexus of vicious crimes so we forget the former president is a felon

Donald Trump is already showcasing the big surprise he will spring on Joe Biden at their debate. It's not a surprise; it's his most morbid, ghastly and predictable trick.

On Friday, his campaign arranged and publicized a telephone call to the mother of a young woman who had been murdered by an undocumented immigrant to express his heartfelt sympathy. That day, the former president posted three similar stories of gruesome murders on his Truth Social account. We have a new Biden Migrant Killing - It's only going to get worse, and it's all Crooked Joe Biden's fault. He's a disgrace to the Office of President, he's a disgrace to America. I look forward to seeing him at the Fake Debate on Thursday. Let him explain why he has allowed MILLIONS of people to come into our Country illegally!"
