This week, Madison Cawthorn, a Republican U.S. House candidate for North Carolina who recently spoke at the Republican National Convention, published a video to his supporters falsely claiming that Mexican cartels on the southern national border are kidnapping tens of thousands of U.S. kids and then selling them on the sex slave market.
Tens of thousands of our children are going missing every year, he continued, and its because of cartels like MS-13 coming into our country and doing harm.
The fact-checkers at The Asheville Citizen-Times called his claim a discredited and debunked one promoted by the extremist conspiracy theory movement known as QAnon. QAnon believers think that a Democrat-run deep state is trying to stop Republican President Donald Trump from exposing an international child sex trafficking ring.

But the young Latinx kids who actually ARE being confined and mistreated by American agents-- the don't even notice that. Or care. Or because it's Trump, they think it's great.
