This was in January 2020

They are just recycling their racist conspiracy theories because they know the right wing media will make their audiences believe it, mainstream news will handle it terribly further lending credence to the baseless allegations

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

presswatchers.orgThe world’s most vocal racist will be the Republican Party’s biggest donor again. But don’t mention it. | Press WatchOur top news organizations are covering up Elon Musk’s white supremacist propaganda

It's even more insane because msm isn't reporting that the FBI "investigated" these same claims under Trump's first term and that the allegations come from 4chan in 2016.

The one time a year the Italian-American Trade Unionists of America will mention his name.

For Immediate Release Day Italian-American Trade Unionists of America Condemn Columbus on Columbus The ltalian-American Trade Unionists of America (IATUOA) has once again reaffirmed its condemnation of Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day. "We only mention the son of a bitch's name once a year and it's when we announce that he's a son of a bitch on his name day," the IATUOA Executive Committee announced from a dark, smoke-filled room in the Italian-American Club of Shamokin, PA. The ATUOA, founded on the principles of cultural solidarity through bargaining , mutual aid, shared dining experiences, and anti-imperialism, believes Columbus represents the antithesis of these core values. Based on his writing and contemporary accounts, Columbus was a greedy, self-indulgent strunz, a jerk-off that gleefully engaged in the enslavement and genocide of indigenous people for personal gain and fame Further, this fucking guy, supposedly Genoese, rarely spoke or wrote in Ligurian or any Italic language. What kind of "ltalian" does that? Italian-Americans deserve recognition and a holiday in the United States, but also deserve a figure worthy of their name. "If you're gonna name the fuckin' day Columbus Day, you might as well go-all in and make the fucking holiday Columbus/Mussolini Day to piss on a few more graves," the IATOUA Executive Committee further scoffed, As of this time, the IATUOA Davinci Genealogy Caucus still questions the authenticity of Columbus' Italian ancestry. Based on this, and the organization's position that Columbus is "a piece of shit" the organization maintains its position that ltalian-Americans (as well as indigenous people) deserve a holiday that truly recognizes our heritage and not one that celebrates a jackass. #44

Ricky Patel kidnapped Newark's Mayor because Todd Blanche and Kristi Noem told him to.

Then lied to a judge in an arrest affidavit.

There's no reason to assume the HSI Agents who targeted Omar did any different.

There isn't any evidence to substantiate any Republican claims against Omar, which are clearly and overtly racist, in the same vein of the Obama birther conspiracies, that she married her brother for immigration fraud.
