“I’m in Oklahoma right now and just saw this: nearly 10% of the HIV patients at OSU’s clinic are illegal aliens getting free treatment on the federal dime,”
God forbid you help people in need.

At first I was confused why he'd pick a contagious disease to be outraged at people getting treatment for, then I realized he probably thinks its some kind of divine punishment for immorality.
For HIV specifically it's probably also a homophobic dogwhistle.
HIV is mostly sexually transmitted, puritans must love it
And racist (as usual)--people of African origin have higher rates of HIV.
The whole basis for the ethnic cleansing is that immigrants are a threat to you. Infectious diseases are a tried and true line of attack.
also note that Nazis like to exploit the victims of their ethnic cleansing first, so yeah, human trafficking victims get HIV then they can die and their bodies be disposed of as disrespectfully as possible.
So wouldn't they want immigrants to get treated?
No it's all part of the propaganda campaign to convince them they're dangerous and subhuman. After years of hammering the idea home, the solution is to get rid of them rather than provide treatment.
No because immigrants are the scapegoat for the the rich stealing our lunch.
If it were just that, he'd say plastic surgery or something.
Nonono, we don't want people who are in the "bad" group to get better, we want them to die.
/s
It also makes sense if you subtract empathy from the picture. Sprinkle on a little "zero-sum game" with respect to tax money and it tracks even better.
The richest country in the world and we can't be bothered to help people in our own country, we need that money to bail out corporate losses. How do the conservative, and the Democrats sheep for that matter, not realize this situation.
"We can't help people in other countries, we need to spend that money helping the people at home!"
"We can't help those people at home, they're illegal! We need to spend our money on our own citizens."
"Those people are legal but they don't deserve to be helped, they're poor which means they are lazy, if they want their circumstances to improve they should get an education and a real job and pull themselves up by their bootstraps like all good Americans before them!"
"We have to give these corporations billions to bail them out, if we don't our entire economy will crumble and normal people will suffer. You don't want that now do you? No they aren't going to raise pay and yes some layoffs may still occur, they're struggling, ok? Stop complaining about the raise their CEO just got, he's working hard to get them through this rough time!"
Trillions, we give richest amongst us trillions of dollars, harvested from working people.
Something something Mario Brothers multiplayer w opsec.
"It's-a me, da bringer of-a justice! Yahooo!"
Let me know when you need more fly agaric, I am here for you.
God forbid you treat people for infectious diseases. I don't see how that could help the rest of society at all!
What the fuck is this asshole in my state for?
How many of those were victims of human trafficking? And how many would have avoided HIV altogether if they had access to preventative care like PrEP?
Let me guess... They have ten patients and only 1 is an illegal alien?
You can safely assume it's all lies when coming from Republicans, until there is an actual verifiable source
Significant claims require significant proof, no matter where they're coming from
This fucking MAGA mini-me can't just fucking retire and disappear. His parents live in Blowing Rock, NC and he as enough money to retire there and live a good quiet life. However, being the chucklefuck that he is he thinks that he can outlive his 15 mins of fame. It is the same with all of these blovines who are angry because their daddies did not hung them.
Little Freudian slip at the end there.
I will leave that slip as it is.
Too bad their moms umbilical cord didn't hang them.
Cool, cool. Go form a militia, why dontcha, you little bitch. We can throw down someplace more private.
This guy is going to kill someone publicly. Probably already has privately. just a matter of time
Homeboy needs to learn some history lest he repeat it by getting too uppity.
Chef’s kiss that his rank was Stabschef and he died on the night of the long knives
My thoughts exactly
Literally brown shirts...
Go... rogue?
So he's the American Prigohzin?
Ousted Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino is threatening to start his own mass deportation operation as he rages against his old bosses.
This seems like a situation that might resolve itself if somebody decides to defend themselves from a freelance human trafficker.
Wasn't he retiring? Go play golf, you fucking psychopath.
Once clear of DHS, Bovino dumped on the Trump administration, saying “When things get a little too dicey, it seems that some cut and run.”
He said, shortly after retiring in disgrace because he was afraid he would get fired...

I don't know; that last name? Is that really a fully MERIKAN name? It doesn't sound quite WASP-y enough.
Gregory bout to FAFO?…
