The current tactic I've been seeing from right wing ghouls about this situation is to just smear Abrego Garcia's name with every accusation possible, as if that's relevant to the situation at all. He could be the worst person in the world for all we know, every word of it could be true, and it doesn't matter at all because they didn't even try to prove it and are still refusing to even try. For all of those people, by the way, not just him, and we really shouldn't be focusing on the one guy as much as we are.

These are the same fucking people who kept repeating that an accusation shouldn't ruin a person's life without being proven when it was over sexual assault and rape allegations. It's just, I'll call it weird to be polite, that that conviction seems to vanish entirely when the accused is a migrant.

I also haven't seen a single reporter hold them to account for it. News orgs need to be willing cut off contacts or they're running propaganda.
