A primer on how to build a "false narrative" that is believed by the public and is almost unstoppable.
You start with an easily misinterpreted news photo that seemingly confirms progressive opponents’ assumption about immigration enforcement: that the agents policing our southern border are cruel racists.
Then you work up a Twitter mob saying that the photo has captured a tableau of hideous abuse.
You add open-borders advocacy organizations and civil-rights groups denouncing the supposed misconduct in the harshest possible terms.
You throw on top a vice president and a White House press secretary who have no regard for the truth and are happy to push any narrative convenient to them.
Finally, as the pièce de résistance, you deploy a president of the United States who is too cynical or doddering to bother with the facts — and who is usually following the crowd rather than leading it — and you get him to make a statement endorsing the ludicrous fictions about the misleading photo.

Even though Biden is touted as doddering, I'm not sure that's entirely true. He may have slowed down in his years, but I believe he is still wily and cunning, making decisions in his own best interests, however deep into the rabbit hole those go.Lt Col Charlie Brown
