        This story, from the Mr Conservative website, copies a totally fake story about BLM that spread fairly widely:http://www.snopes.com/black-lives-matter-emergency-crews-hurricane/ …

        Mr Conservative has 2.1 million FB fans and we recently showed that its owner also runs liberal hyperpartisan sites: https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/inside-the-partisan-fight-for-your-news-feed …pic.twitter.com/vlsPrMoZII

        Some people are confused about which site this fake story was published on, so here's the URL just to be clear: https://www.themrcblog.com/

        That's clearly snow on the side of the highway. Stupidity knows no bounds when trying to deceive others.

        And they are all in coats. I doubt there has EVER been any snow on the ground in Houston. Tropical climate.

        It's called Mr Conservative and it has over 2 million fans on FB. I called it hyperpartisan, so I'm clearly not arguing it's mainstream.

        Shout out to other observant Boston folks. After the Rally I helped debunk a fake picture. "That is NOT the common!"
