News travels fast, but fake news travels even faster, especially when there’s a political agenda attached to it. One glaring example took place over the weekend, when someone on Twitter TWTR, +0.57% posted a photograph of an injured police officer, with a caption that he’d been “brutalized” by the migrant caravan on its way to the United States.

The problem, according to a deep dive from Snopes: It’s not true. The main image, which was taken during a clash in Mexico City in 2012, is just another attempt to demonize the refugees and spread fears over immigration.

Nevertheless, those who wanted to believe it, did. That apparently includes Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. This post can be found on her official Facebook FB, -2.63% page:

You don't believe child sex rings exist? They get busted constantly. Or is it you don't think rich people are involved in them? Or just democrat politicians. So you're just a partisan hack. ok.

"is just another attempt to demonize the refugees and spread fears over immigration."
It is the Left whom connects refugees with immigration. Which IMO backfires

Every time anyone forwards shit like this, regardless what comment they attach to it, they are spreading the lie.

People like the OP who are intellectually promiscuous tend to drag every infection known to man and media into every forum and arena they visit, often in the name of "truth".

They weren't gamed. They are an entertainment business. They are looking for ratings.

Learn how to use the quote function consistently and someone might realize you've responded to them. Even here you quote yourself. Otherwise you just have a comment without context.

The lie was in the post I quoted, is this difficult to understand? It was an old image being touted as recent.
