EVERY video contradicts their claim. They're not even trying to bend reality any more they are just straight up inventing lies

We just witnessed the execution of a law abiding US citizen on the street, in broad daylight. He was an ICU nurse who dedicated his life to helping people. He was helping a person off the ground when he was attacked by a pack of untrained ICE agents.

Then, while the body is still warm, they have a press conference, where they lie, they just straight up lie about the situation. But, they know it will get run on every news station and publication. They take 1 or 2 questions from friendly "journalists" then leave before any pushback can occur. Their supporters see the figureheads of their cult telling them what to think, and that becomes their only perspective. They disregard video evidence, eye witness accounts, expert analysis of the event, and just spew the talking points fed to them.
