during their pathetic tiki torch march in Charlottesville, Virginia. When they were saying "Jews will not replace us," they weren't referring to being replaced by Jewish people, but they were referring to a conspiracy involving whites being replaced by immigrants who are brought into the country by Jewish people. Knowing that bit of information clarifies what Jr is really getting at in his racist tweet.

In order to repopulate something, it must be depopulated first.

It's more than just xenophobia. It isn't just fear-mongering about the immigrants/refugees themselves. It is about making people afraid for their own existence first and foremost.

Trump's approvals are in the sewer here in Maine, and King is going to CRUSH IT in this election.
