No Muslim would leave a prayer rug behind.
Also …I’ve lived on the border for nearly half a century and in Nogales blankets and rugs are a huge industry for sale to tourists. I have many in my home.
This reminds me of Gov. Brewer’s comment about headless bodies in the desert …she said that a few years ago.
Must the repubs run on fear? Have they got nothing else?

if I’m not mistaken observant Muslims do not leave their prayer rugs behind.
Can Dewhurst produce the evidence? Outside of his own imagination, I doubt it.

“Prayer rugs have recently been found on the Texas side of the border in the brush,” Dewhurst said during a speech Friday at the Values Voter Summit, echoing a claim reported on Breitbart and thought to actually be an Adidas soccer jersey. "

A soccer jersey is now a prayer rug? Really
And this guy trusts a story from Breitbart?

Since the GOP meme about the Southern Border is now, “I’ve been complaining for eight years…”, does that mean they have the same problem with Bush and Obama? Oh, that’s right, the problem is government. Too bad the rubes they’re addressing haven’t realized the biggest problem is GOP-run government (whether federal, state, county or local).

I thought I had a new entry in my database but then I found Davey was already in there from 2013.

He tried to intimidate the Allen, TX police department into releasing his wife’s nephew after he’d gotten caught shoplifting. They have him on TAPE throwing his weight around.

And how do you KNOW that they’re prayer rugs?

Oh, I forgot- you don’t.

I’m tired of the fearmongering.
