Maddock continued to dig in on Thursday morning. He wrote a new post saying, "We know this is happening" and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are "pouring into our country." He added: "Since we can't trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will. The process of investigating these issues takes time."

Upper midwestern state legislative Republicans have an underrated concentration of stupidity. They're basically 1-2 IQ points above the deep south.

Illegal immigrants take the hard and dirty jobs at the bottom of the ladder, likely displacing meth-afflicted white people presently on that rung.

And no apologies even after the truth was pointed out on social media.

Hundreds of social media users quickly disputed Maddock's post on Wednesday, but Maddock refused to concede. He replied to one of the many people who pointed out the plane and buses were likely for NCAA basketball teams: "Sure kommie. Good talking point."

Gotta love those maga maroons!

Unapologetic to the bitter end for their ignorance. No matter who it hurts.

Their hateful ignorance always trumps the truth and your lying eyes and common sense.

Maddock represents the paranoid prejudices of his party in perpetuating a lie to earn political points from the weak-minded losers who thrive on anger.

Maddock is a nut, used to live by the guy. He and his wife were at the capitol protesting biden on 1/6.

His wife was on social media nazi saluting the blm marchers in milford.

"He and his wife were at the capitol protesting biden on 1/6."

I think 1/6 may have been a bit more than a Biden protest.
