TL;DR Summary

Rep. Jerrold Nadler criticized GOP lawmakers for sharing a debunked story about homeless veterans being kicked out of hotel rooms to make space for migrants. Nadler displayed a scroll of tweets from GOP lawmakers amplifying the false story to stoke fears about the border crisis. The story was quickly debunked, and a New York state lawmaker who first set off the media frenzy over the story said he was "devastated and disheartened" to learn it was fabricated. Nadler drew a connection between the story and the GOP's ongoing focus on the southern border, even as the predicted post-Title 42 surge in migration has failed to materialize.
