The left started digging under rock bottom and found a basement.

The Onion, described by one of my colleagues as The Babylon Bee's mentally handicapped cousin, ran perhaps the most tasteless satirical "fact-check" on former President Donald Trump during Tuesday night's presidential debate against ABC- I mean, uh, Kamala Harris.

Firing back at Trump's claim that people don't leave his rallies, The Onion responded that they're "carried out in body bags," referring to the Trump supporter who was shot to death when a gunman opened fire on Trump during a rally in July.

To remind, Corey Comperatore was a husband, a father, a friend, and a volunteer firefighter who was simply supporting his presidential candidate of choice when he was shot and killed by a lunatic with a rifle who was allowed to set up shop on an unsecured roof a football field's length away from Trump's cranium.

Corey Comperatore was many things. But a punch line of a garbage leftist's joke isn't one of them.
