MTG blames New Orleans attack on 'wide open border' — as suspect ID'd as TX military vet
In response to the devastating vehicle-ramming attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) insinuated that the Biden administration's border policy was to blame — all of which appear now to have jumped the gun.

Glad someone is speaking up about the wide open border between Texas and Louisiana. We've gotta shut that shit down.
Maybe Texan secession would be good for everyone after all
I've been saying it for years. Get rid of the Rated One Star state.
Gotta evacuate Robert Evans (podcaster and author of Behind the Bastards and After The Revolution) and all the good people in Austin first, though..
I thought he lived in Oregon now?
All the Good, But Very Specifically Libertarian Texans have been moving to Oregon for a while now-…
I knew I liked you for a reason.
Save the Honorable Reverend Robert Evans!
The issue is that Texas state politicians absolutely love to rattle the secession sabor but they all know where their bread is buttered.
They would never actually do it. Their voters don't know that.
they should build a giant dome around texas. nobody goes in or out.
Wait is it possible that Tom Segura actually made a good point?
US born Texan who was an army veteran = migrant...
I mean he was brown, and possibly Muslim, so as far as mtg is able to recognize that means migrant if her feeble mind
And from the way Trump is talking, it will mean migrant when comes time to choose who to deport as well
100% being brown will be enough to kick you out, even if you were born there.
Let's lay outcome facts at this-time frame:
Shamsud-Din Jabbar was identified as a U.S. citizen born in Texas.
Jabbar had served in the U.S. Army and had a degree from Georgia State University.
While Jabbar had a criminal record related to traffic offenses and theft, there is no indication that these offenses pertained to immigration violations or that they affected his citizenship status.
The FBI’s investigation into Jabbar’s potential associations with terroristic organizations does not imply anything about his immigration status but rather focuses on his actions during the attack.
So, given these parameters why is this a Biden border issue?
Because he is the marked enemy. They need a boogeyman.
They have one tool: blame outsiders. It doesn't matter if no outsiders are involved. If they let up on blaming outsiders for a second, their supporters might notice their lives aren't actually getting better.
Illogical reasoning, in my propaganda? More likely than you might think!
Because they know they can just lie and people will believe it.
MTG: maps are hard!
TRUMP: wanna borrow my Sharpie?
Exclusive Gold plated Sharpie
Time to close the boarder with Texas.
None of her brain-dead constituents care about facts.
I was wondering what the hell Magic The Gathering has to do with US politics.......
Margerie is like a blue player who keeps canceling her own spells.
I've never played Magic and I have no idea what this means, but it's the perfect analogy.
The game has different colors -- different sources of power for your deck. Blue cards are themed around trickery and messing with your opponents plans. Cancelling spells is basically a "no" to whatever your opponent is trying to play.
White is themed around order and balance. Black is power at any cost. Red is impulsive and energetic. Green is harmonious with the natural world.
Blue interacts with the fundamental fabric of reality and is absolute bullshit.
More like a blue player with no islands in her deck.
Lol
Gets me every time.
Let's put the blame where it belongs. Dude does a dime in the Army and he's fine. Then he goes to work in IT for Deloitte and ... This.
Build a wall with consulting companies on the other side.
But he had a scary name!
Once a Mexican, always a Mexican
We’ve not forgotten the Alamo

The truth of falsehoods isn't the issue, that it's false is of no consequence to the politics.
Don’t wheez the juice.
El queso esta viejo y podrido. Donde esta el sanitario.
Immigants, I knew it was them! Even when it was complex political and economic issues, I knew it was them.
The actual left (fuck off neolibs no one likes you) should take to calling Texans migrants too...
We can cite Trump and Green.
It's so obvious what they are doing; just drumming up some support for deportations. It won't fix anything, but it'll keep people good and distracted for a moment while they try to support their real base: the ultra rich.
Those plastic surgery freaks at Mar a lago will be trying to smile as the poors fight it out over this one.
You hear that... Librulz wants to jump your guns now!!!
Yeah, and obviously we can all now agree it was the GOD DAMNED BORDER that shit in my pants, and we'll all just move on from the subject now, knowing fully that we all agree it was them, the border I mean. Fucking menace!
This imbecile needs to fulfil her face's destiny and front a Metallica cover band. Out here lookin' like her mother was a surrogate for an albino orangutan.
Not very polite to insult someone's appearance no matter who it is.
Yeah, if that vet has been busy guarding the border they wouldn't have had time to do a domestic terrorism!
Thats an insult to all mammals.
Ok, but if I may counter...
Yeah, but still.
“Jumped the gun” is a funny way to describe knee-jerk racism and hatred.
