Donald Trump accused a Democrat governor of supporting the execution of babies, claimed border walls have been shown to reduce crime, and wildly overstated the size of his crowd during a string of falsehoods at a raucous rally in Texas. The president railed against immigration, abortion, and Democrat policies such as the Green New Deal, and took aim at a possible challenger – Beto O’Rouke, the former congressman who was holding a counter-rally a mile away. In perhaps the most bizarre part of the rally, he poked fun at Virginia’s Democrat governor Ralph Northam – who has admitted to wearing blackface to impersonate Michael Jackson – before accusing him of being willing to “execute a baby”.
