The caravan happening so close to the election thus allowing republicans to dominate the news cycle with their racist rhetoric seems very suspect. These things don't spontaneously organize themselves.
But it's not "that close to the election". No ones getting to the border until, like, December. If it even stays organized.

The caravan itself is probably organic and real. In any other season it wouldn't even be a story until it was close to the border. The attention to it right now is completely and entirely ginned up by Trump, Fox, and the GOP.

In 2003 and 2004, the government was issuing nebulous "terrorism alerts" on the regular, and with increasing frequency, leading up to the 2004 election. After the election, they dropped off almost entirely. Terrorism solved!

Rosen just has to be a bad candidate or something.

She's been repeatedly far behind everyone else. Even when we are getting good polling. Tester and Nelson just had polls where they were up by almost 10

Reportedly similar to the Soros package, so we may have a serial bomber seemingly targeting people who happen be the subject of many right-wing conspiracy theories.

Worth mentioning the Soros bomb and the Clinton bomb were in the same county, within a 15 mile radius. Rich Republicans live in Westchester County too, and I'm sure none of them want their property values to go down in that area (towns of Bedford and New Castle)

Cue silence from Republicans who crowed about Huck-San getting denied service

Stop faulting Republicans for this hypocrisy, but rather almost the entire media that does the same thing. As ridiculous as equating Sanders being denied service to the bombs at Soros's and the Clintons' houses and the actually violent actions by Proud Boys and at Unite the Right would already be, the mainstream media takes it up another notch by ceaselessly discussing civility after any inconveniences experienced by Republicans, while almost completely neglecting true threats against members of the left, even though these acts are of course much worse. They do their job of informing the electorate so badly that even equivocating would be an improvement in this case.

Is this caravan story really getting lots of play? I don't watch cable news that much so I'm thankfully sparing myself but it is total bullshit for them to be doing this right before the midterms.
