“We know that President Biden didn’t just create this border crisis,” she said. “He invited it.”

This from the party that's explicitly invited a border crisis. Although, that's not actually inconsistent since the only reason they want it is so they can try to blame it on Biden.

I would have more respect for them if instead of this they just got drunk and yelled "oh no, Biden shit my pants again!" Not only would it be more dignified, it would actually be more plausible.

Oh my God, somebody put shit in my pants!

When I was at summer camp around age 10, a kid tried this claim.

In his pants, in the sleeping bag....on the top bunk. Dude must have slept like a dead man.

He went home early from camp. You'll never live that one down Shaun. It's been 30+ years now.
