Everything Republicans Said About Colony Ridge Was A Lie

Colony Ridge is no more than Jade Helm 2.0. A lie started from a hate group and ended up as political hype.

As part of their xenophobic perpetuation toward asylum seekers, if you’ve listened to anything Republicans have said in the last few months, you might have heard about Colony Ridge. Right-wing media and GOP politicians have been shouting about the “undocumented safe haven” in Liberty County known as Colony Ridge.

During the last few months, I’ve read all the right-wing articles and watched all the alt-right YouTube videos. None points to evidence or proof that undocumented people are headed for Colony Ridge to set up cartel operations. When I’ve asked Republicans on social media for proof, they’ve only shown me the same articles and videos that make accusations without evidence. But I’ve held off commenting until there was a legislative hearing on the topic. That happened yesterday.
