It’s so transparent
Like, it’s just a catch all dodge to avoid addressing the root causes of problems. Oh, traffics bad? No, don’t question suburban development patterns, don’t question planing policy, don’t question whether it’s realistic or practical for everyone to own and operate personal cars. That could undermine the profitability of various special interests. Instead, blame it on these vulnerable populations who we can visibly brutalize for you.
Edit: to be clear, this is just one facet of the scape goating of immigrants and other vulnerable groups to avoid having to have difficult fights with powerful special interests.
Fully scapegoating.
You beat your wife? Its the immigrants who took your job to make you do that.

Charlie Kirk pretty much always argues in bad faith.
Saw a video of him the other day claiming white privilege doesn't exist because black people are able to do anything a white person can.
I have no idea why anyone with two brain cells to rub together even listens to him.
They do not.
Don’t question corporations forcing people to come into an office to work on a computer all day.
Blame on those with more melanin levels in their skin
