An astonishing video from CNN…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk99uQQGEok
Two members of the administration ranting at the press-core about the border wall and then CNN has the cheek to actually go off to the border and check the veracity of the rants.
It’s like the Trump administration believe they are living in a Stalinist regime where they control all the newspapers, radio and TV and can decide what is true and nobody will challenge them on it.
-
The White House has never said that the chain link fence shown in the picture was the actual border wall in that area. They said a fence like that will not keep people out. They did say that the chain link fence is what is there right now and they were correct. It is there to keep the workers safe.
-
The White House also said that money procured during this budget round was to get things started. About 40 Miles of fencing will be built/replaced. At the same time they said that they are preparing for the next budget rounds in the fall because there are places they need permission to build. Land that needs to be procured for the work to continue.
-
Even Mulvaney said what he pointed at isn’t new wall and it is replacement for an existing wall. He also says that there is money in the budget deal for this because things weren’t finished by the last administration. That is why they are getting two cracks at it this year.
-
Sean Spicer told them in yesterdays briefing where the locations were and New Mexico was one of the sites he mentioned.
Gotta love Anderson Cooper … trying to stay relevant by leaving stuff out of the story so people that don’t watch the briefings side with him/CNN. The story is a joke. Had they used all the facts to tell it I might think otherwise.
Had Anderson Cooper told the story in the link above you probably wouldn’t have found the story astonishing.
