Gateway Pundit is a conspiracy-peddling alt-Right rag maintained by Jim Hoft, widely agreed to be the Dumbest Man on the Internet (and imagine the running for that title). The blog now has White House press credentials under the Trump regime, and their correspondent is Lucian Wintrich, a self-confessed troll. Here’s something he tweeted recently:
They break into our country, steal resources, then do shit like this. And libs still wonder why we are pushing for immigration controls... pic.twitter.com/Y5ZSv9jkgo

Here’s a screencap in case the original tweet and image get deleted, for perhaps-obvious reasons:

There’s just one problem – whilst I can’t find confirmation, the online consensus is that the three individuals in that photo aren’t Mexicans, but rather Native Americans, a group that for some reason isn’t happy with a monument blasted into their ancestral lands as a permanent reminder of the destruction of their peoples and ways of life at the hands of foreign invaders.
You’d think Wintrich would sympathize. Though to be fair, he probably thinks all brown-skinned people are the same.
