It's beyond politics now. This is about good vs. evil

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Noem's lies are mind blowing: "This individual attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple, dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming, brandishing like that.
