Sigh. An appearance by Jeffrey Lord on CNN last night has gone viral thanks to unhinged liberals misunderstanding a 30-second clip of Lord talking about how dry cleaners are opposed to NAFTA:
According to libs, Lord was talking about women’s periods:

Except Lord was clearly talking about how fabric from Mexico “bleeds” when dry cleaned, not that Mexican women don’t use feminine hygiene products:

Deep breaths everyone. The garments bleed their colors bc they're made to lower standards. That's all he's saying. https://t.co/2V67Ncki6M

This even inspired a Twitter moment thanks to the misinterpretation:
Lord later confirmed what he was talking about and directed angry tweeters to the source of his information, Vanity Fair magazine:

Yes, @HashtagGriswold has it exactly right. "Bleeding" refers to clothing where colors "bleed". Nothing else.

I merely cited on @AC360 what my more than expert dry cleaner said – on tape – to @tina_nguyenof Vanity Fair. She has the tape.
