MSNBC Uses 2011 Video to Claim Trump Administration Denies Water to Illegal Aliens
MSNBC used footage from seven years ago, when Barack Obama was president, to claim that the Trump administration has denied water to illegal aliens.
Host Joy Reid, who appeared to have lied about being hacked earlier this year, used footage from YouTube that dated back to 2011 during her Dec. 15 show.
“One of the issues was dehydration. We’re going to show you some video … but there is video of Border Patrol agents dumping water on the ground—water that was meant to be left for migrants. This is from a Tucson-based aid group,” Reid said.
The footage was then broadcast showing several Border Patrol agents destroying containers of water in the desert.
No date was shown for the footage and no other context was given, leading viewers to believe that the footage was recorded recently.
