Hold the phone, Batman! Someone found Colombian marching powder in the White House this weekend.
Several reports have noted that a white powder that tested positive as cocaine was discovered two days after Hunter Biden visited the White House. With the use of Post hoc ergo propter hoc before you could snort that line, the president's son was blamed for it. (Well, in certain quarters.) Just because one thing followed the other doesn't mean the first thing caused the second, folks. Yet it's politically expedient these days to knock people when they're down and engage in logical fallacies in order to con large portions of the public into believing outrageous fictions.
