BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – New York Times columnist Paul Krugman suggested that the violence that has plagued cities over the past year was a figment of Republicans’ imagination.

“In reality, given that GOP supporters believe that rampaging mobs burned and looted major cities — somehow without the people actually living in those cities noticing is ridiculous,” explained Krugman. “No businesses were looted, none were burned, and none were destroyed. The only people who alleged that these actions took place, were greedy ruthless republican business owners, that hired actors and ‘staged’ these type of acts, in order to file fraudulent claims with their insurance companies. This was done in order to cover up that their businesses were failing, and they reached a new low in dishonesty.”
