Blame the Immigrants

A 143-year-old city hall in Limoges, France goes up in flames. Within hours, Vice President J.D. Vance shares the video and tells Americans, “This is the future if congressional Democrats win.” The next morning, President Trump posts, “France is burning,” and blames immigrants. John Carlos Frey treats the claim like a case and follows the evidence. French authorities have not linked immigrants to the rioting. He lays out why the claim is false, why it’s scapegoating, and how it follows the same playbook used during the 2025 ICE protests in Los Angeles, now aimed at American voters weeks before Election Day. Then he asks the question the administration won’t answer: millions of people are gone, so why hasn’t your life gotten better? https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
