The week in whoppers: The Squad’s Cori Bush flips reality on protests, NY Times begs for Trump’s conviction and more By Post Editorial Board Published April 25, 2024, 6:15 p.m. ET
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions This tweet:
As a Ferguson activist, I know what it’s like to have agitators infiltrate our movement, manipulate the press, & fuel the suppression of dissent by public officials & law enforcement.
We must reject these tactics to silence anti-war activists demanding divestment from genocide.
We say: Where to start?! Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) claims “agitators” are infiltrating anti-Israel protests and fueling “suppression of dissent.”
OK, so why aren’t the “good” protesters shutting them down?
Besides, no one’s limiting dissent; in fact, authorities aren’t doing enough to stop protesters who block traffic, defy police, terrorize Jews and shut down colleges.
And by the way: Pro-Hamas protesters aren’t “anti-war”; they support war — against Israel. The only genocide being sought in Middle East is meant to kill Jews and Israelis.
Oh, and the Ferguson protests Bush brags she was part of were also based on a lie, as the Obama Justice Department later admitted.

Indeed, DEI is responsible for much of the antisemitic hostility that’s erupted across the nation today.
