Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who was infamously the sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote against Congress’s post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which precipitated the Afghanistan invasion, has now taken to spreading outright fake news.
Yesterday, Lee took to Twitter to spread baseless and unconfirmed innuendo that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is now involved in the detention of Iranian-American U.S. citizens. “People of Iranian descent — including American citizens & green card holders — are reportedly being detained by CBP officials,” Lee tweeted. “We can’t let this stand.” She continued, urging conscientious citizens all over the land to contact her district office: “If you or someone you know has been targeted or detained by CBP officials, please contact my district office at 510-763-0370.”
