Fake hospital workers ... WTF

Potemkin village
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In politics and economics a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) built solely to deceive others into thinking that a situation is better than it really is. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built solely to impress Empress Catherine II by her former lover Grigory Potemkin during her journey to Crimea in 1787. While modern historians claim accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example.

1. There is still no actual evidence of fake hospital workers

None of the Twitter posts are from acknowledged hospital workers or members of the press.

2. Please let's not go down this route

“Crisis actor” speculation without any real support is something that should only belong to Alex Jones and company.

3. Why make up fake outrages when so many are real?

This kind of stuff undermines the credibility of real crimes, providing excuses for those inclined not to believe the truth.

Hospital staffers, including some opposing Trump's visits, have been speaking with journalists, including investigative, and if none had been present while he was there, we'd know it by now.

Btw, although the 8 victims still in the El Paso hospital refused to allow him to visit them, 2 who had been discharged returned to participate.
