FACT CHECK: Brit Hume Claims That The Number Of Unaccompanied Minors Dwarfs The Number Separated At The Border
Quote:
“I wonder if the journalists working this story are aware that the overwhelming majority of immigrant minors separated from their families arrived at the border without families,” he tweeted Wednesday.

“There are far more children separated from parents who arrive that way then there are children separated at the border,” he elaborated in a tweet Thursday.

Verdict: True
Yet 50% of Americans believe the initial lies that were spread.

Even supposedly "enlightened, unbiased, Christian" posters here on the forum still believe these lies.

Why? Simple. Hatred for Trump has blinded them.

This story has been repeated a hundred times the last two years.

This appears to me to just be an asinine attempt to attack what you perceive to be liberals out here ... and everywhere.

Why is it when evidence reaches you to change your point of view about Trump you see it as an "attack" on all liberals?

This to me is a little scary. What frightens the liberals the most is the truth. When it comes to the unending media smear campaign against Trump, you gleefully gulp in down. When ... Over time ... The actual facts become known, then you become fearful.

C'mon, man. You know what the Bible says. "Whatever a man sows he will also reap." Trump sows hate. So, it shouldn't be surprising to you that that's what he reaps.

C'mon man you know what the Bible says. "The god of this age has blinded their minds."

The Dems, the Obama deep state intelligentia, and the media have mounted a coup since the day Trump won the Republican nomination.

All the facts confirm what I have been saying. To disprove my statement all you need to do is show me one piece of evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election.

Are you also blaming Trump "hate" for the firing of Strzok, who exonerated Clinton and launched the investigation into Trump?

Oh that's right! You have your special local church insights.

"Let patience have her perfect work" James 1:4. Kenneth Starr's investigation took how long? To date, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian "meddling" has led to the indictment of 25 Russians and three Russian companies. Five people have pleaded guilty, including former Trump campaign official Mike Flynn, who was fired as national security adviser after he admitted lying about his contacts with Russians on the campaign trail.

When Trump publicly said "Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” it was the first time I know of that a major presidential candidate had actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent.

If you cared about the integrity of our democracy you would have been outraged at that. But, you weren't cuz you hate the Clintons. Hell, you hate all liberals and all things liberal as you have often expressed on ths thread. You're basically a theocrat, and fascist dictator types like Trump and Putin cater to you guys. So it's no surprise if you support the dismantling of the US's alliance with liberal democracies world-wide and a new alignment with Russia and other authoritarian states.

No. Strzok compromised the integrity of his job, the reputation of the FBI and the investigations he was participating in. Which is sad for him because apparently he had been a talented and dedicated agent. Commentators are saying that the firing goes beyond customary FBI policy, but this investigation is of the highest of profiles so there is justification for concluding the "usual and customary" rules don't apply. People were fired for much less when I was doing routine government work without top security clearance.

Interesting how you can denounce 60 million voters who elected Trump as fascist dictator types, claiming it is we Christians who are theocratic haters.

No. You misread the post. Try again. The fascist-dictator types are manipulating public opinion. The "theocrat" descriptor I applied to you alone. Unlike yourself I try to avoid sweeping generalization. Not all conservatives are the same just like not all liberals are the same. In fact, none of them are the same. If you dig down deep, political identities fall away. No two people are the same.

Read what a theocrat is. Nothing I have written demands that. Today Sharia Law is the closest thing we have to theocracy. I support Trump for secular policy, without any religious demand on him. You are defined by "sweeping generalization" whether you admit it or not.

Look at who is today defining and manipulating public opinion -- it is the media, Hollywood, the deep state, and the Democrats.

Of course, no two people are identical, we have DNA do we not? But the LEFT you are apart of is characterized by a hatred of Trump, and look at what happens when someone like Kanye decides to differ. Look at how Omarosa is now their heroine. The media defines people -- loving or hating them -- by their connection with Trump.

You are doing the same with me. You are unable to objectively discuss the facts of issues, rather you espouse the media line wholeheartedly. Case in point was Charlottesville. You joined the media craze in deciding that Trump and all his supporters are affirmed racists, nazis, bigots, supremacists, KKK, etc. You have no evidence of this -- but neither do you need it -- because you just swallow the media message without discernment. Apparently you lost all your discernment when you left the faith -- yet you condemn all others like me for what you do. Romans 2.1

Look at how many Dems and Repubs have flipped their position just in the last decade in order to support Obama Progressivism and oppose Trump. At one time many supported secure borders, wanted a wall, opposed gay marriage, opposed abortion, supported marriage, embassy in Jerusalem, strong military, support for police, support for ICE, etc ... the list goes on and on.

You many say that there is diversity on both sides, but on major issues the Left are like lemmings headed towards the cliff. To be a conservative today often one must be willing to be an outcast from their own society.
