Driving the news: The posters — which read “ARRESTED” — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House’s official logo at the bottom.
-The “roughly 100” posters were being placed strategically along “Pebble Beach,” where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.
-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for “first-degree murder,” “sexual abuse of a child,” “kidnapping and rape,” “murder,” “rape of a child,” and “distribution of fentanyl.”
-Others claim to show people charged with “sexual assault of minors,” “sexual contact with a child,” and “lewd acts in front of a child.”
-The posters describe the arrestees as “illegal aliens.” Their names and precise legal statuses aren’t included.
If we’re doing felons it’s weird that I don’t see Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Allan Weisselberg, or President and convicted rapist Donald Trump.
WWMD The wealthy white man defense is a pretty air tight legal argument. Fits in nicely with the narcissist’s prayer.
I didn’t do it, but if I did it wasn’t a big deal. And if it was, you deserved it.
