If you’re a conservative, you’ve probably heard by now that a Caravan of tens of thousands of MS-13 rapists and murderers is headed for the American border, planning to storm it on Election Day so George Soros can steal the midterms. Here’s how it actually started. Don’t tell Republicans, though. That would only free them up to obsess about some new, still unknown boogeyman.
