Portage acacian is a dogwhistle you weren’t intended to hear. However, the Republicans, those of the sledgehammer subtlety, let that one slip. It means “make up what ever bullshit you feel like saying, those that support us will hear it as gospel and defend it with other people’s lives.” ---

She also claimed twice that most people probably didn’t know about this massacre, that it was 'brand new information" to them because it didn’t get much “coverage”.
