AG Hamilton debunks bombshell news report showing mail-sorting machines in a parking lot

Heather Walker of WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids finally made it big with a report earlier this week showing mail-sorting machines in the parking lot of a postal sorting facility in Grand Rapids. Her tweet currently has more than 30,000 retweets and was spread around by actor John Cusak.

Here’s AG with the rest of the story:

Several Dems used this video a few days ago as evidence to support their baseless conspiracy about the USPS somehow helping Trump rig the election, but the machines in this video are flat sorters that are only used to sort large items like magazines, not normal mail or ballots. https://t.co/iFqN8Bxa3v

It would be cool if we had a group of people who did reporting and that could explain things like this.

Instead we have conspiracy nutters shitting themselves.

Facts don’t matter to the broken

Well, facts are not always welcome when a political point is being made.

They don’t care

And yet no flag from Twitter about it not being accurate.

Do all of you morons out there know that there is hardly any real mail that goes out??? You know what the UPSP delivers now is all of your stupid amazon packages!!! They took out sorting machines to sort packages!!! How come no one is talking about that????!

Trump is preventing Democrats from getting their magazines!

Interesting that the people talking about the post office actually know absolutely nothing about it.

Problem is, the normal everyday person doesn’t know that. And, unfortunately, believes everything they see on tv and what their moronic reps tell them.

This is genuinely sick. I think I actually find this more sordid and less justified than people getting paranoid about an obscure restaurant they never heard of before. You only need to not be concussed to know there isn't a USPS conspiracy, yet here we are.

I can only think Democrats want their voters to vote early before the debates. It doesn't seem smart for them to scare their voters away from voting by mail.

Tomorrow she uncovers the sorting machines were removed in order to install printing presses for Trump ballots. #pulitzerinthemaking

OMG they're putting mail sorting machines IN CAGES!!!

How could they?

— CreepyJoe's Eye (@AvetMag) August 23, 2020

And pulling mailboxes out of the ground and just dumping them in a pile … of other old mailboxes to be refurbished and powder coated.

This news station also did a series on one of their reporters who was very sick at the beginning this pandemic. It was very dramatic and went on for two weeks. His tests came back negative.
