The usually useless Polifact has finally gotten around to evaluating David Dewhurst’s smear of Ted Cruz as a supporter of Amnesty. It only took them a week. How considerate to bestir themselves a mere three days after the election.
The verdict? The same as every other single non-Dewhurst supporter: A complete and utter lie.
Let’s have a graphic to drive the point home:
I’m well aware that politics is a blood sport. The “working for Communist China” smear was pretty weak sauce, but at least there was a tiny grain of truth there. But the amnesty smear was just made up out of whole cloth. Neither Cruz, nor the groups mentioned, ever supported illegal alien amnesty. David Dewhurst and Team Dewhurst were simply liars to push it. Now the MSM confirms what anyone paying attention already knew.
But to drive the point home even further, never mind Polifact, here’s the Sex Pistols (NSFW. Duh.):
