NextImg:The week in whoppers: Axios is shocked, shocked at probes into Obama officials, Kathy Hochul resorts to lies about starving children and more

We say: After years of probing Donald Trump on specious grounds — for Russian collusion and via numerous cooked-up civil and criminal prosecutions and two impeachments — Axios is now outraged that Team Trump is probing the Obama officials who spawned the first anti-Trump probes.

Hello?

“Children [will be] starving because they don’t have the SNAP benefits.”

— Gov. Kathy Hochul, Monday

We say: Tugging on heartstrings to push an agenda is a popular shtick with the left.

But to excuse illegal gerrymandering in New York in response to Texas’ new maps?

And when, as The Post noted, the excuse is beyond lame?

Note: Changes to the SNAP program in GOP legislation merely involve slightly tougher work requirements and having states pick up more of the tab.

No need for children to “starve.”

“I will liken [Texas’ redistricting] to the Holocaust.”

— Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones

We say: Please. The idea that new congressional voting districts in Texas, which might produce a few more Republican seats in the 435-seat House, will lead to a new Holocaust is so nutty, even Jones felt the need to apologize for saying it.

Yet the left uses precisely this kind of wacky, extremist language at the drop of a hat these days.

“We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet.”

— CBS News host Vlad Duthiers, Wednesday

We say: Duthiers, plainly consumed by the left’s anti-colonialist kookiness, was warning against attempts to colonize the moon, given the Earth’s history of foreigners dominating native populations.

Memo to Duthiers: No one lives on the moon.
