Blue-checked political analyst says if you don't believe 'Trump is murdering immigrant children,' you should 'go f*ck yourself'

Bill Palmer is the founder and senior editor of the Palmer Report, a site you’re supposed to be able to count on for sharp, insightful political analysis. But if you’re too busy to visit his namesake site, just tune into his Twitter feed and you’ll get all the analysis you need:

Wow. Political analysis sure has come a long way!

Nicely said!!

Oh, yes. So very nicely said.

That’s it in a nutshell.

It’s actually not, though.

Keep speaking truth. We need to make all the noise we can. We owe these children. #closethecampsNOW

Awful hard to “keep speaking truth” when your truth is based on an outright lie.

Only the best in political analysis. https://t.co/85y38wevFY

But if we want to engage in baseless, breathless hyperbole, one could make the argument that the exact opposite is more true than this nonsense.

Where does it say hes murdering children?

Trump definitely forced parents to trudge their kids hundreds of miles and against the law, cross the border illegally which resulted in some children to get sick and die. This is 1000% the textbook definition of a person murdering another person.

I acknowledge that hyperbolic statements that are obviously and factually false will prime the general public to ignore any actual statements that are similar. No, Trump is not murdering immigrant children. But if he ever does, nobody will hear you complaining about it, wolf boy.

And did you express this same outrage when the previous administrations employed the exact same policies? Or, is it just convenient now? This is about people NOT politics. Tired of political hacks whining on social media … it’s time to actually DO SOMETHING about it.

You and all of your followers parroting this garbage back are pathetic and ridiculous.

The President is not *murdering* anyone and you know it.

You know what would help the people at the border? Not dragging their kids through deserts and a Congress that would fund relief.

A bit of advice for Mr. Palmer.
