Tom “The Devil” Homan seems low energy in this interview, which is not his norm. I think it’s because he knows he’s lying: he knows that some of the people on the flights are not gang members. He says trust ICE? ICE put the non-gang members on the flights in the first place!

Indeed, so we’re both right! 😃

Moreover, it reflects that vocabulary is frequently debated vociferously. Like authoritarianism v. fascism!

3/ While it is impossible to know what influenced laypersons and the media to shift to CC rather than GW, I would contend the Lutz memo was the main reason. But reasonable people can disagree on this.

2/ than anything else, because only the collective of views really matter. But vocabulary matters. Take “climate change” and “global warming.” There is evidence that a Republican consultant steered the conversation to use CC rather than GW because it sounded less scary, and might deter policy.

1/ “Berates” in my opinion may be the wrong word.
He may vehemently contend (as I do) that certain words are more precise and less easy to mock for the existential crisis that we all agree has arrived (with some disagreement perhaps on when it arrived). Ultimately this is more of an academic debate
