Tucker Carlson: When Dems blame Trump for the border crisis and migrant deaths, they are 100 percent lying

It’s interesting to see the Democratic candidates for president all gathered together because you get a sense of what the Democratic Party cares about, what its priorities are. And this season, the candidates will be trying hard to become the most extreme on the question of immigration. Which one can attack the idea of borders most aggressively?
Keep in mind it was only a few months ago that as a group, they were telling you there was no crisis, at all, on the border. In fact, they were saying it was “manufactured” by the Trump administration.
Shills and liars and dumb people. Joe Lockhart coming out of retirement to lie to you. “It’s a manufactured crisis.” That wasn’t true then, it’s definitely not true now. 100,000 people estimated to be streaming into this country illegally every month, many from as far away as Africa. The crisis is not manufactured. It’s demonstrably real. Even Democrats recognize that now.
But now they’re saying it’s not their fault, of course. They’re blaming the president. This week, a man and his daughter drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande River, which creates our southern border. Beto O’Rourke, a participant in Wednesday’s debate tweeted this: “The President is responsible for these deaths.”
This is the man who said we should have no border barrier whatsoever. The press instantly adopted Beto’s view as their own and repeated his sentiments. NSNBC host Chris Hayes said, “This administration’s mix of cruelty and incompetence continues, day-by-day, to exacerbate a humanitarian crisis at the border.” Another host said, “The president and his administration concoct a toxic brew of political opportunism and operational competence.”
This wasn’t shading the truth; it is not bending the truth. It’s lying right to your face and daring you to disagree. It’s the definition of propaganda.
When Democrats tell you that it’s Trump’s fault that the border is out of control, that is a lie. It is 100 percent their fault. They created the status quo that is causing deaths suffered by migrants.
