Representative Eric Swalwell had the photoshopped image walked over to her.

The Trump administration just became so much more Orwellian.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command,” George Orwell wrote in his cautionary tale about totalitarianism, 1984.

On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took that command a step further, refusing to even acknowledge a doctored photo depicting alleged gang tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles, which the White House has repeatedly used to justify his deportation.

In a heated back-and-forth with Representative Eric Swalwell during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Noem repeatedly swerved away from answering direct questions about the photo, which was displayed on a massive poster board behind the California lawmaker.

    Yeah but that comment in no way alludes to how SHE treats dogs, just to treat her like one. We aren’t giving her belly rubs so the only logical thing to think is to treat her poorly… “like the dog she is”. I’m getting down voted for not keeping up with MAGAts personal lives. I don’t care. They are and always will be the enemy. I don’t need to know these things to know who to oppose.
