In recent days, several of them began circulating, via social media, one of the dumbest, most paranoid assertions we’ve seen thus far regarding their false “Trump is a Nazi” narrative.
As reported by The Daily Caller, “multiple journalists circulated a conspiracy theory on Twitter that a document from the Department of Homeland Security contained Nazi code.”
We’re not even joking. This is the level of absurdity that passes for legitimate political opposition to the Trump administration and the GOP congressional majority.
The lunacy began with Laurie Voss who tweeted: “This is an actual story on an official government website with a 14-word headline starting with ‘we must secure.’ This is not an accident. There are actual Nazis-who-call-themselves-Nazis at DHS.”
The ‘suspect’ document was headlined, “We Must Secure The Border And Build The Wall To Make America Safe Again,” a DHS fact sheet containing data from the department’s various border enforcement agencies outlining our serious and growing security problems along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Here are some examples from the datasheet:
— U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB), which includes the Border Patrol, is currently apprehending 1,100 people per day crossing illegally into the U.S. Under the same circumstances other governments might actually consider that an invasion. And mind you, these are only the individuals who are being caught.
— During the last eight months of 2017, DHS saw a 300-percent increase in the number of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) with a 600-percent increase in family units.
— Officer assaults against Border Patrol and other immigration enforcement agents have increased a staggering 73 percent, meaning a dangerous job is getting even more dangerous with more violence.
“Walls Work. When it comes to stopping drugs and illegal aliens across our borders, border walls have proven to be extremely effective,” the data sheet noted. “Border security relies on a combination of border infrastructure, technology, personnel and partnerships with law enforcement at the state, local, tribal, and federal level.”
Does that sound like Nazi code to you? Because it sure didn’t sound that way to us. (Related: Yes, corporate-run news media really is the “Enemy of the People,” conservatives conclude.)
Nevertheless, Voss saw swastikas, Brown Shirts, and Hitler woven throughout the document.
“There are 14 points in the article, and the final point contains the number ’88’ for no good reason — 88 is also a Nazi dog whistle for ‘Heil Hitler.’ https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/88 … There is absolutely no doubt now that this article is intentionally a signal to Nazis.”

Wow. She even referenced the extremely biased Leftist organization the Anti-Defamation League.
But she wasn’t through.
“For those unclear why the number 14 is significant, it is the number of words in a famous white supremacist slogan that also begins with the words "we must secure" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words …" she wrote.

Have you ever seen such nonsense? And the Left blames conservatives for being “conspiracy theorists.”
And yet, multiple journalists lapped it up.

There were only a few media outlets that bothered to cover this delusion on steroids, which is par for the course. Had a Right-leaning journalist posted something this stupid on their Twitter feed during the Obama administration, ever Lib pundit and commentator from coast to coast would be lampooning it.
These ‘journalists’ actually believe Trump and his administration are “Nazis.” Insanity.
As usual, the Left has it wrong.
There are political activists currently working for the federal government but they are Leftists.
