McConnell should make it a trend

Think of all the misinformation the Senate could identify and rebuke. It could make clear:

  • There is no crisis at the southern border;
  • No new steel mills are being built in the United States;
  • Tariffs are paid by consumers, and the trade debt is not an IOU to a trading partner;
  • Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was aware of and ultimately responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi;
  • Domestic terrorism has been responsible in recent years for more U.S. deaths than any outside terrorist threat;
  • Ninety percent of drug smuggling comes through ports of entry;
  • NATO partners don’t “owe” the United States money;
  • We do not have the “worst” (i.e. most lenient) immigration laws in the world, nor are we the only country to recognize birthright citizenship; and
  • Climate change is real and poses an economic, social and geopolitical threat to the United States and our allies.
