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.
He clearly has tattoos that could be interpreted as MS13. It’s not a false narrative.
But that’s not a crime.
What you just said could be interpreted as MS13.
See the absurdity yet?
Marijuana, Smile, 1. Skull is a stretch for the 3.
If it’s absurd, then an iron cross tattoo doesn’t mean white power either. So yeah it’s interpreted. But it doesn’t matter. So what if he had MS13 literally tattooed across his face? That’s not a crime.
