Dan Crenshaw says that “[Election Deniers Admit It’s A Lie](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dan-crenshaw-election-deniers_n_6364cc13e4b06f38ded30136).” Not sure why he’s saying it, but at least someone in the R-camp is saying what needs to be said about this subject, which is at least evil-adjacent.

Eh, in a thread about the Republican Party being evil, it’s actually nice to have one drop in and demonstrate every now and then.

His post is his cite.

Identify something as shit…then deliberately and repeatedly step in it.

There are likely some trends but the premise is not abundantly clear to me at all. Many Republicans do care about people. Both parties represent many millions of different people. The premise might be true on a comparative basis - even so definitions would surely very and where one stands depends on where they sit.

No, this poster is a long time simple minded flame thrower who has recently had one of his other venues shut down. Mods should just rid us of him right now because he’ll never have anything to offer besides insults.

I believe the troll is trying to claim “all of them”. The whole thread, IOW.

Then it would appear that he has difficulty differentiating between what a “post” is and what a “thread” is. Poor guy.

Certainly the thread _title_ is non-controversial.

# Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

> **[Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump](https://gizmodo.com/donald-trump-homeland-security-report-antifa-portland-1849718673)**
>
> A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot.

"The Department of Homeland Security launched a failed operation that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. protesters in what new documents show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump’s spurious claims about a “terrorist organization” he accused his Democratic rivals of supporting.

An internal investigative report, made public this month by Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat of Oregon, details the findings of DHS lawyers concerning a previously undisclosed effort by Trump’s acting secretary of homeland security, Chad Wolf, to amass secret dossiers on Americans in Portland attending anti-racism protests in summer 2020 sparked by the police murder of Minneapolis father George Floyd."

Another scandal that in any other administration would be shocking to the point of defining the entire administration, but in this one yields not much more than a shrug and “Yeah, figures that that is something they’d do.”

Hell, at this point, I would not be surprised if Republican candidates put this admission into their campaign ads, as it would appeal to their base.
