“Caravan Claims Exposed!” Six false claims the MSM has made about the caravan
Tucker Carlson interview with Buck Sexton, Former CIA analyst.
Tucker: “For a free society to function, the press doesn’t have to be perfect but it does have to be better than a propaganda outlet. Are they?”
Tucker states the claims and Sexton comments.
CLAIM #1: “The Migrant Caravan is mostly women and children who pose no threat to anyone.”
Buck: Not true. “The vast majority are men in their 20s and 30s.”
CLAIM 2: “The caravan…is mostly comprised of asylum seekers.”
Buck: Not true. “This is a scam…people [on the caravan] are being coached to lie.”
CLAIM 3: “There are no criminals in this caravan.”
Buck: “There are six hundred KNOWN criminals….this was known from the beginning.”
CLAIM 4: “The caravan doesn’t matter….and it’s very far away.”
Buck: “Buses and trains exist in Mexico….with some help, they got on those buses and trains. If they were actually refuges, they should claim refugee status in the first country they arrive in where they are no under mortal threat.”
CLAIM #5: “The caravan received no external support…there is no financing here.”
Buck: “They are clearly people providing support….If journalists wanted to know this stuff…they could find out. But they don’t want to know. They just want to show women and children getting tear-gassed.”
CLAIM #6: “Deploying troops to the border was [both] wrong and unnecessary.”
Buck: “The concern was that they [the caravan] would try to overrun the border—which is exactly what they did do.”
Buck's summary:
“We’ve just had this progression of lies all along the way. And at every phase, it seems the media always gets it wrong in one direction—and that is, that we’re exaggerating this threat when in fact we’re underestimating the reality of how big this problem is going to get.”
