Dummy Trumper legislator confuses Gonzaga men’s basketball team for “illegal invaders”

[IGotWorms 3,315]

 

Gonzaga University’s men’s basketball team has been called a lot of things during its 25-year stretch of greatness. But “illegal invaders?”

That was a new low pushed on the social media platform X by a Republican state representative from Michigan who was convinced that tour buses carrying Zags players and coaches on Wednesday in Detroit were somehow up to no good.

Matt Maddock, who represents the Detroit suburb of Milford, is notorious for peddling misinformation, conspiracies and participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. 

So, as the Zags arrived in Detroit for the next round of the NCAA basketball tournament, Maddock made his leap.

“Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” the full post said.

It included pictures of an Allegiant Air plane and three tour buses at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.

The Wayne County Airport Authority confirmed in an email that four men’s basketball teams competing in the Sweet 16 arrived Wednesday evening.

“The buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs,” the airport authority said in an email. 

Gonzaga Basketball’s X account posted photos and video of the team arriving in Motown Wednesday night that included the team boarding and disembarking on the Allegiant aircraft and practicing at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit.

I don't know. If I were as smart as a liberal democrat elected supreme court justice I definitely wouldn't know. I would testify in congress that I don't know.

All those really, really tall people don't belong here. Anyone over 6'6 should be deported.

The fact that he doubled - and tripled down - even after being corrected - shows a lot.

This is the go to trick for the leftist authoritarian bastards to cover up the truth of their corruption.  You get one idiot somewhere who makes a big mistake and you focus all the attention on this and label it 'misinformation!'.  Regardless of this idiot being wrong, the truth is still Biden and rich leftists are flying in hundreds of thousands of illegals into this country.  Making this story into big news is how the media easily manipulates the bootlickers into believing the truth is false.

TRUMP!!!

Well, can't be as dumb as this Democrat legislator:

This was an ignorant mistake on his part...compounded by the fact that he won't acknowledge it. He is a fool for doing so. But as a sane conservative, I can see & admit to it. Let's see some lefties do the same when the shoe is on the other foot.

Of course not. They're stealing our chandelier installation jobs.

The real tragedy of this story is that Gonzaga makes their basketball team fly Allegiant.

His heart is in the right place. Unlike leftards that think mutilating children is ok.
