Chris Wallace Calls Pres. Trump ‘Preposterous' For Suggesting Dems Are Behind Border Surge
2018-10-20
[Daily Caller] "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said it was "preposterous" of President Donald Trump to suggest Democrats were somehow responsible for the surge of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border, on "America’s Newsroom" Friday.

Wallace was discussing the escalation of Trump’s rhetoric leading up to the November midterm elections and said he has no evidence to back up his claims. (RELATED: Border Patrol Deputy Chief Begs Congress To Enter Immigration Fight To Ease Border Crisis)

"Let me say first of all that the idea that the Democrats were somehow behind this caravan coming from Honduras of these women and children is preposterous," Wallace said.

Wallace also said there’s no evidence to support the claim the protesters at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation were paid to be there.

"And there’s been no evidence offered on that any more than there was evidence that the protesters up on Capitol Hill during the Kavanaugh hearings were paid protesters," he said.

#16  Timing certainly seems suspicious with the midterms coming up and the Dems trying (with no success) to rally latino voters.

#14  "“That doesn’t mean they have a right to come into the U.S., but this isn’t some Democratic plot.”

Because Dems don't "plot." But they do have people within the organization trying to outdo each other in the pursuit of general ideology. But nobody is taking a peek and giving a nod before this kind of thing "happens."

Riiiiiiiigh.

#13  Well, let's see...the border was left open by Democrat administrations...OK, Bush left it open too...and people crossed it. I call that cause and effect.

#12  Wallace also said there’s no evidence to support the claim the protesters at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation were paid to be there.

There are photos of:
1) woman disrupting the Kavanaugh hearings.
2) same woman being forcibly removed from the room.
3) same woman walking down the hallway.
4) same woman stopping to speak to black man leaning on wall.
5) black man gives her several bills.

I call that evidence.

#11  It is certainly preposterous, Chris, but you dig a little deeper and follow the money. The answer lies there. Dig deeper and you uncover the ideology. Our commenters did. Either you are unable or unwilling to dig deeper.

Maybe you have been reduced to a news reader as the Brits used to say.

#7  Open borders mean subsidised migration.

America has spent trillions on infrastructure and equally invested in cultural infrastructure (courts, police, legal system).

The migrant gets the benefit without paying a penny.

Anyone paying less tax than the infrastructure investment and maintenance will not be an asset.

#4  Ref #3 and further proof of 'democratic involvement.

Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford would do this? I’ll give you 4 reasons:

1) She owns a major portion of the company that makes the morning after abortion pill and she is afraid Kavanaugh will overturn Roe v Wade, therefore making her million dollar empire go caput.
2) She’s a professor at the same college (Palo Alto U) where Diane Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, is on the board of directors, she has worked with Blum on the “resist Trump” movement for two years.
3) Dr. Blasey-Ford’s brother, Tom Blasey, is business partners with Peter Strzok’s cousin Jill Strzok for a company called Exelis Inc. (enough said there).
4) Feinstein + Chuck Schumer's appointed lawyers set up three "GoFundMe" pages for her the week BEFORE she testified, which are currently up to over a million dollars for her to keep as payment for her testimony.

Come on, Chris, WAKE UP! The Democratic Party might not be actually organizing and running this caravan, but they're sure as Hell responsible for luring them here with their open-borders policies and promises of free shit from the gummint.

Wallace also said there’s no evidence to support the claim the protesters at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation were paid to be there.

We all know that Democrats' claims to be caring and compassionate are a total sham, but even they aren't heartless enough to expect their Astroturf mob to provide their own food, transportation and lodging during the Kavanaugh hearings.

If Democrats didn't fund that disgusting display, Chris, then who did? Republicans?

This kind of "fair and balanced" bugwittery is why I don't bother watching Fox News anymore.
