Because it is. Regardless of if there are actual abuses or not is completely missing the point, this is a pattern of abuse from the right where they'll bullshit up a reason for them to do the things they wanted to do anyway. 99.99% of the time the "abuses" are just outright fabrications. Just look at the Uighur narrative; at first the US literally pulled it out of their ass to distract from the very real fascist radicalizing they were doing in the area, and it's been slowly crumbling as more and more of the "evidence" they provided turned out to be complete and utter bullshit. It was never about the Uighurs, these same people are celebrating the decimation of Muslims in Gaza to this day.
