Now stop amplifying his lies by repeating what said/tweeted verbatim.

I’d like to see/hear something like “Trump told 12 lies in the last week about a “caravan” of people walking across Southern Mexico.”

“Trump repeatedly exaggerated the number of people, made unsubstantiated claims that Middle Eastern terrorists were included in in the group.”

“Trump also claimed that he would order the military to stop the invasion. However calling it an invasion is not accurate when talking about unarmed civilians and it isn’t clear that the military could be used this way legally, due to the Posse Comitatus Act, that limits using the military for domestic law enforcement.”

That's refreshing to see YessirAtsaFact Oct 2018 #1
