VIDEO: Trump Shuts Down Snotty Reporter Over Russia, Invokes Bad Iraq WMD Intel

Thu Jul 6, 2017 12:05pm EST 6

During a joint press conference in Warsaw, Poland with Polish President Duda, U.S. President Trump took the opportunity to thoroughly disarm a reporter – whose mic was cut after she wouldn’t stop needling him with questions.

NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked if Trump would ‘once and for all, definitively say that Russia interfered in the 2016 election?

Trump hit back, stating “I think it was Russia, and I think it could have been other people in other countries. I’ve said it very simply.”  The President then turned the question around on the reporter, pointing out that President Obama did absolutely nothing about Russian interference before the election.

Trump: I think a lot of people interfere. I think it’s been happening for a long time. It’s been happening for many, many years.

Now, the thing I have to mention is that Barack Obama found out about this in terms of if it were Russia – found out about it in August. Now the election was in November. That’s a lot of time he did nothing about it.

Why did he do nothing about it? He was told it was Russia by the CIA, as I understand it, it was well reported – and he did nothing about it. They say he choked. Well, I don’t think he choked. I think what happened is he thought Hillary Clinton was going to win the election and he said “let’s not do anything about it.”

That’s the real question – why did he do nothing from August all the way to November 8th?

Jackson then pressured the President on the disconnect between his position and what US Intelligence agencies have reported over Russia:

Jackson: you again say you think it was Russia. Your intelligence agencies have been far more definitive. They say it was Russia. Why won’t you agree with them?

Trump: Let me just start off by saying, I heard it was 17 agencies. I said ‘boy that’s a lot, do we even have that many intelligence agencies?’ And we did some very heavy research. Turned out to be 3 or 4, it wasn’t 17. And many of your compatriots had to change their reporting and they had to apologize and they had to correct.

I remember when I was sitting back listening about Iraq. Weapons of Mass Destruction. How everybody was 100% sure that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Guess what? That led to one big mess. They were wrong, and it led to a mess.

CNN Self Immolates: Deleted Tweets, Airport Shunning, Oh – And They Got The Wrong Guy

Wed Jul 5, 2017 6:37pm EST 36

One week after James O’Keefe destroyed CNN’s last shred of credibility, the network rife with ham-handed propagandists has doused itself in gasoline and lit a match – forever condemning themselves to irrelevancy and ridicule.

As you are now aware along with the rest of the world, CNN went on a witch hunt over the weekend to track down the identity of Reddit user ‘HanAssholeSolo,’ who they claimed is responsible for creating a video of Trump beating up a man with a CNN logo for a head, which the President tweeted on Saturday.

After discovering the man’s identity – through possibly illegal means, the network threatened to expose the Redditor’s identity, ‘doxing’ him. In response, the internet exploded with rage – creating dozens of new similar CNN memes and receiving a formal declaration of war from 4chan users, who have begun ‘unmasking’ CNN employees for the world to harass.

Deleted Tweets

After the immense public backlash over CNN’s witch hunt, CNN’s Chris “that sucks” Cuomo – a giant douche, deleted a tweet asking followers “Should CNN reveal name of Reddit user who made trump wrestling video?”

CNN journalist Andrew Kaczynski who went on the Witch Hunt for HanAssholeSolo also deleted a tweet from 2012 – and was promptly called out by Donald Trump Jr. (whose Twitter account has been on fire).

Airport Shunning

After a tweet from Mike Cernovich it’s been reported, with a crappy photograph, that Atlanta international airport has shut CNN off!

Last but not least – it appears that CNN GOT THE WRONG GUY

As Buzzfeed of all places points out “As Reddit was celebrating HanAssholeSolo’s victory, one user pointed out that what Trump tweeted wasn’t actually HanAssholeSolo’s GIF.”

While Solo maintains it was his video with sound added, Buzzfeed also notes that HanAssholeSolo’s original GIF was shorter, had a different aspect ratio, and had a WWE logo in the corner.

Also – according to TweetDeck, Trump’s tweet was sent from an iPhone, so someone would have had to send it to the President via private message or emailed attachment, and was uploaded to Twitter via his camera roll.

Per Buzzfeed:

So what does this all mean?

“Someone downloaded the GIF that HanAssholeSolo originally posted to Reddit. Then that person cropped it to better fit a video player like Facebook or YouTube. Then they went through the effort of syncing it back up with audio from the original clip. Then that person put it somewhere where Trump or one of Trump’s people could see it and download it. Then whoever found the video version had to get it to Trump’s phone.”

Extra Lastly – an unverified 4chan user from Mexico claims to have created the GIF months ago…

Bill Gates: African Refugees Will Decimate Europe Unless They’re Given Tons Of Cash

Wed Jul 5, 2017 12:09pm EST 19

In an interview published Saturday, Bill Gates told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag that Europe will be devastated by African refugees if they don’t “make it more difficult for Africans to reach the continent,” and the solution lies in European nations committing billions of taxpayer money towards overseas aid.

According to Gates, the combination of explosive population growth in Africa combined with Europe’s notoriously generous open-border migrant welfare programs – as illustrated by the ‘German attitude to refugees’ have incentivised migrants to flood into Europe.

“On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more generous you are, the more word gets around about this  — which in turn motivates more people to leave Africa.” –Bill Gates

How to stop them?

Gates, whose third world vaccination programs have contributed to Africa’s population explosion, suggested that heaping tons of money onto Africa while taking steps to prevent transit into Europe is the best solution.

After calling Germany’s commitment to allocate .7% of GDP towards foreign aid ‘phenomenal,’ Gates encouraged ‘other European nations to follow its example.”

(Because Africa is of course known for efficiently managing billions in foreign aid without corruption to ensure that their people are taken care of. Surely Europe’s donations will create an Africa that rivals downtown Hamburg.)

Italy

Gates’ comments come as European leaders discuss the surge of Africans washing up on Italy’s shores every week, with Rome calling on other EU nations to accept more refugees.

On sunday, Italy’s interior minister Marco Minniti begged for help – telling an EU summit in Tallinn “We are under enormous pressure”

If the only ports where refugees are taken to are Italian, something is not working. This is the heart of the question” –Marco Minniti

Italy has taken in over 82,000 migrants in the first six months of 2017, 19% more than the same period last year.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the rescue organization SOS Mediterranee which runs an aid vessel along with Doctors Without Borders said that it would be logistically difficult to redirect migrants to other European ports.

If the order came “we would have no choice, we would obey. But it would be completely impossible with more than 1,000 people on board,” Mathilde Auvillain told AFP.

So there you have it

After years of liberal open-border policies predictably resulted in a flood of North African (economic) migrants into europe, the EU is panicking. And the solution to preventing millions of migrants from upgrading their lifestyle by picking up sticks and moving is to throw more money at Africa…

Meanwhile, President Trump is in Poland this week – one of the only European nations to refuse refugees.

CNN Blackmails Reddit User Over Trump Wrestling Video, Threatens To Expose Identity

Wed Jul 5, 2017 4:15am EST 35

CNN is taking heat for threatening to publish the identity of a private citizen who posted a video lampooning the network.

Redditor ‘HanAssholeSolo’ is credited as the creator of a clip showing President Trump beating up a man with a CNN logo superimposed over his face, which the President then tweeted on Sunday morning.

In response, CNN and it’s MSM brethren caught the vapors – with pundits from the network suggesting that the President was inciting violence against journalists. CNN media reporter Brian Stelter tweeted this pissy little screed:

While the White House has said the video didn’t come from Reddit, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski  – a total dick, went on a deep dive, uncovering now-deleted posts from ‘HanAssholeSolo’ which the network deemed offensive. CNN decided not to publish the the user’s personal details, for now, because HanAssholeSolo has ‘showed his remorse’ for the ‘offending posts’ and ‘ugly behavior’ – effectively threatening to expose a private citizen if he doesn’t stay in line.

 

Apology

HanAssholeSolo issued an apology on Reddit Tuesday, calling the video a “prank, nothing more.”

“The meme was created purely as satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation… …I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President’s Twitter feed.”

Here’s what people thought about that:

Meanwhile, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski has said that people are misinterpreting the article.

Sure Andrew… CNN isn’t publishing his name “because he is a private citizen” who “showed remorse,” yet you reserve the right to expose his identity if you don’t like how he behaves in the future. Sounds like a threat. 

How did they find him?

While CNN maintains they were able to link HanAssholeSolo’s posts to his Facebook account, a 4chan user claiming to be a CNN insider suggested that CNN obtained his IP address from his ISP and ‘unmasked’ him.

EPIC REACTIONS

CNN’s latest blunder follows a devastating week for CNN, whose last shred of credibility was destroyed in a blaze of glory by James O’Keefe last week. Reactions to the network’s threat to expose (or ‘Dox’) Redditor HanAssholeSolo have been hilarious… you can see for yourself by searching the hashtag #CNNBlackMail on Twitter.

Finally – 4chan has declared WAR

This should go well for CNN…

Trump Hints At Steel And Aluminum Duties After Touting Jobs Numbers $AA $CENX $X

Mon Jul 3, 2017 6:48pm EST 3

On Sunday, President Trump shifted gears to the economy in a series of tweets, and specifically mentioned the steel and aluminum industries.

Anti-Dumping

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump spoke extensively about ‘fair trade’ with America, and in April, the administration launched two investigations into steel and aluminum dumping. Dumping is a type of predatory trade in which foreign manufacturers flood a region with exports at prices which significantly undercut those offered by domestic producers.

President Trump hands United Steel Workers International President Leo W. Gerard the pen he used to sign an executive memorandum on investigation of steel imports on April 20. Commerce Secretary Wilbur L. Ross Jr. is on the left. (Associated Press)

In March, the Trump administration began investigating China for dumping aluminum foil as a review of existing anti-dumping duties, and in in mid April, Trump launched an investigation into steel dumping while surrounded by steel company executives and the President of United Steel Workers International.

“Steel is critical to both our economy and our military,” said Trump. “This is not an area where we can afford to become dependent on foreign countries.”

And while the President was hesitant to directly blame China (two weeks after meeting with Chinese President Xi), U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross did not mince words – telling reporters “Steel imports have continued to rise, despite repeated Chinese claims that they were going to reduce their steel capacity, when instead they have actually been increasing it constantly. In the first couple months of this year alone, steel imports rose 19.6 percent. It’s a very serious impact on the domestic industry.”

One week later, Trump ordered his administration to also look into wider scale aluminum dumping.

Looks like they’re serious…

Fast forward to June 20, Secretary Ross told a room full of Germans at an economic convention attended by Chancellor Merkel that the United States may have to resort to ‘broad-scale’ measures to fight steel dumping if foreign producers can’t agree on a solution.

“If President Trump takes action on dumping it will be in the hope of provoking a collective solution by importing nations”

“Lacking strong action in conjunction with our partners we may have no alternative but to engage in self help… If we do so it might have to be on a broad scale.” –U.S. Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross

Without specifying the specific actions which would be taken, Ross said that even countries which were not direct sources of dumping might be affected by whatever solution was employed.

“If President Trump takes action on dumping it will be in the hope of provoking a collective solution by importing nations,” Ross told members of Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union. “Lacking strong action in conjunction with our partners we may have no alternative but to engage in self help,” he said. “If we do so it might have to be on a broad scale.”

India’s Anti-Dumping Duties

In a similar effort to curb Chinese and EU dumping, India’s finance ministry is cracking down on the practice as well, with their own anti-dumping investigation slated to wrap up at the end of September.

“The entire steel industry would have been killed otherwise…in the last three-four years, not just India but the whole world has been shaken by China dumping the surplus across the globe,” said India’s Supreme Court Justice A.K. Skiri.

Who’s going to benefit?

If Trump announces anything resembling a serious import duty on foreign steel and aluminum producers, expect Alcoa (AA), Century Aluminum (CENX), and U.S. Steel (X) to directly benefit – along with several others.

Here are a few steel & iron manufacturers listed by hybrid score in the Exodus algorithm. Note that MT (Arcelor Mittal) is currently flagging overbought, and has an average 10 day gain of 4.42%, 6 out of the last 6 times the system has flagged. Indeed, many times when a stock is considered overbought, it will knife higher – which is why it’s useful to use an algorithm that keeps track.

You can check out the rest of ’em and their various overbought / oversold stats inside Exodus.

Trump Wades Into EU ‘Death Panel’ Case, Tweets Support To Save Baby Charlie Gard

Mon Jul 3, 2017 12:16pm EST 3

Last week, a European Court ruled that the parents of a critically ill child cannot privately pay for treatment in the United States. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) denied the request after the distraught parents lost a battle at UK’s Supreme Court.

Baby Charlie has a rare genetic condition called mitochondrial depletion syndrome and has serious brain damage, and had degenerated to the point where doctors sought a declaration from the court to withdraw artificial ventilation to allow Charlie to “die with dignity.”

The parents, Chris Gard, 32 and Connie Yates, 31, raised over £ 1.3 million to bring Charlie to the United States for an experimental treatment – which the ECHR denied.

Backlash

After the story made headlines around the world, Pope Francis reversed a statement issued by the Vatican’s newly appointed head of the Academy for Life. Papal Spokesman Greg Burke said of the Pope: “He prays for them, wishing that their desire to accompany and care for their own child to the end will be respected.”

President Trump weighed in over Twitter, tweeting: “If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so.”

At the end of the day, who the fuck is the ECHR or any organization to tell the parents of a child that they can’t use their own resources on an experimental treatment?

Update: Trump admin has contacted Charlie’s parents

Third Undercover O’Keefe Video Exposes CNN’s Internal Culture Of Hate

Fri Jun 30, 2017 5:26am EST 34

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe has just capped off a week destroying CNN’s last shred of credibility with a Friday morning release of an undercover encounter with another producer for the network. Jimmy Carr, a hate-filled Associate Producer, said that virtually everyone he knows at the network – surprise – absolutely hates President Trump.

“On the inside, we all recognize he is a clown, that he is hilariously unqualified for this, he’s really bad at this and that he does not have America’s best interests. We recognize he’s just f*cking crazy.”

Here’s the deal, this is a man who’s not actually a Republican… He just adopted that because that was the party he thought he could win in. He doesn’t believe anything that these people believe. –Jimmy Carr

Carr goes on to rattle off a laundry list of grievances against the President, stating that “90% of us are on board with just the fact that he’s crazy.”

Carr didn’t stop at the President. When asked about the election, the Associate Producer said American voters are “Stupid as shit,” before insulting Kellyanne Conway – a top Trump advisor and the first woman to run a successful Presidential campaign.

Ratings

Carr then echoed what another CNN producer admitted to a Project Veritas operative – it’s all about Ratings.

“It’s decisions made by people higher than me and if they go wow, your ratings are soaring right now, keep up what you’re doing. Well, what we’re doing is Russia, ISIS, London terror, shooting in Chicago, that’s it.

Fake News Bust

O’Keefe also caught CNN selectively editing out a Trump supporter’s answer during an election panel to make him appear stupid when giving an answer to the topic of illegal immigrants voting in the 2016 election.

Entire video:

Week of horror for CNN

While O’Keefe saved the best for last, undercover footage released earlier in the week dealt devastating blows to the beleaguered network whose President, Jeff Zucker, may be on the chopping block if a merger between AT&T and CNN parent company Time Warner is approved.

On Monday, Project Veritas released undercover footage of a candid discussion with CNN producer John Bonifield, in which the “Very Fake News” network employee admitted that the whole Russia story against President Trump is a “Mostly B.S.” ratings grab by CNN’s CEO Jeff Zucker.

Bonifield also admitted that he hasn’t seen any evidence of President Trump committing a crime.

But all the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school, you’re just like, that’s adorable. That’s adorable. This is a business.

Then on Wednesday O’Keefe captured footage of CNN host Van Jones saying that the Russia – Trump story is “a big nothing burger.”

Van Jones responded with a CNN op-ed, calling the video a hoax and “highly edited right wing propaganda” made by a “con man.”

[F]or those of you unfamiliar with James O’Keefe and his misnamed  “Project Veritas,” here’s a helpful recap: James O’Keefe is a notorious con man whose infamy arises from his addiction to pulling the same media stunts, over and over again. –Van Jones

(Perhaps the Project Veritas operative approached Van Jones off camera to role-play as a conservative for fun?)

White House Endorses

On Tuesday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah H. Sanders encouraged people to watch the O’Keefe video of CNN Producer John Bonifield admitting the Russia story was “Mostly B.S.” pushed by CEO Jeff Zucker for ratings.

 “whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know – I think if it is accurate, it is a disgrace to all of media, to all of journalism.” –Sarah H. Sanders

Huckabee’s endorsement drew the ire of the MSM, however instead of discussing the content of O’Keefe’s video – pundits like Chuck Todd did a full Exorcist head swivel over the fact that Huckabee hadn’t personally verified each claim in the undercover sting (which CNN confirmed the authenticity of).

“CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield.  Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome it and embrace it,” CNN said in a statement. –USA Today

Death knell?

Will a cleanout of CEO Jeff Zucker and perhaps a few other sacrificial wolves restore credibility to the news network that’s been faking it for years? I wouldn’t hold my breath as long as guys like James O’Keefe are around to expose the shills.

Sarah H. Sanders Takes No Crap From Virtue Signaling WH Press Corps

Fri Jun 30, 2017 12:37am EST 4

During today’s White House press briefing, Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was hit with a barrage of salty questions over President Trump’s early morning tweets about MSNBC hosts “Low I.Q. Mika Brzezinski” and her husband “Psycho Joe Scarborough.”

Identity Politics 101

When NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked how “as a woman” she felt about the President attacking another woman on her looks, Sanders didn’t bat an eyelash – telling the outraged social justice journalist:

“Everybody wants to make this “an attack on a woman.” What about the constant attacks he [Trump] receives? Or the rest of us? I’m a woman and I’ve been attacked by the shows multiple times – but I don’t cry foul because of it. I think that you want to create this false narrative – one hand it’s like: let’s treat everybody equally, and on the other hand they attack, attack, attack – and apparently that’s wrong.”

BUT SARAH – THE CHILDREN!

Attempting to lure Huckabee into a logic trap – Jackson then asked what the Press Secretary would tell her children about Trump’s tweets. Sorry Hallie, God wins just about every time.

Hallie Jackson: You talk about being personally affected by all of this as well – and that nothing is wrong with the president fighting fire with fire – is the argument you’re making. On a personal level, you have sat here and talked about your family from this podium. Are you going to tell your kids this behavior is okay?

Sarah H. Sanders: Look, I’ve been asked before – when it comes to role models, as a person of faith, I think we all have one perfect role model, and when I’m asked that question I point to God, I point to my faith, and that’s where I tell my kids to look. None of us are perfect, and certainly there’s only one that is, and that’s where I would point.

How do Trump’s tweets help his agenda?

Jon Decker of FOX News Radio then asked Sanders whether or not Trump’s tweets helps his legislative agenda, which she threw back in Decker and the MSM – bringing up the media’s time spent covering various topics:

Sanders: You look at the coverage over the last month of the extended period between May and June – all of the major networks, if you look at their coverage and what they’re talking about, they spent one minute in the evening newscast talking about tax reform, three minutes on infrastructure, five minutes on the economy and jobs, 17 minutes on healthcare, and 353 minutes attacking the President and pushing a false narrative on Russia. I mean, look at that in comparison. If you guys want to talk about legislative agenda and focus on policy and priorities – you guys get to help set that table.

But, but – Trump should be better than a cable news journalist…

NBC’s Kristen Welker then threw down – asking about unity.

Kristen Welker: “Does his tweet this morning, his series of tweets help to unify the country?”

Sarah H. Sanders: “Look, again, I think that the President is pushing back against people who attack him day after day after day.  Where is the outrage on that?”

Kristen Welker: “I understand your point, but he’s the President of the United States, they are cable news anchors.  So he has to stand to a higher standard”

Sarah H. Sanders: “Again, I think I’ve been pretty clear that when the President gets hit, he’s going to hit back harder, which is what he did here today.”

At the end of the day

In their attempt to lure Sarah H. Sanders into calling President Trump a sexist degenerate monster, the White House Press Corps played hardball identity politics; trotting out women, Sarah Huckabee’s children, “unity,” and cable news anchors – and instead got served for being total hypocrites obsessed with Russia.

MSM Vomits Blood – NYT Retracts ’17 Agencies’ Claim After CNN, MSNBC Suffer Week Of Carnage

Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:46pm EST 5

What a week for the MSM!

First, CNN fires three employees for publishing a verifiably false piece of yellow journalism trying to link a Trump associate to the Kremlin. Then, James O’Keefe drops the People’s Elbow on the Clinton News Network with an undercover exposé featuring a producer who admits the Russia story is “Mostly B.S.” – a day before CNN’s Van Jones called the Russia story a “nothing burger.”  Then there’s CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta constantly getting BTFO in his retarded nautical socks by the White House Press Office.

Next, MSNBC’s “Low IQ” Mika and “Psycho” Joe Scarborough get royally BTFO by the POTUS:

And now – the same day NYT Journalists staged a rebellion, the “failing” publication owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has retracted their claim that “17 intelligence agencies” verified the Russian Hacking claims – reducing the number to FOUR.

I mean – come on. Did anyone believe these agencies confirmed Russian hacking?

  • Coast Guard Intelligence
  • Treasury Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
  • National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
  • Defense Intelligence Agency
  • National Reconnaissance Office
  • Army Military Intelligence Corps
  • Office of Naval Intelligence
  • Twenty-Fifth Air Force
  • Marine Corps Intelligence
  • Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis
  • State Bureau of Intelligence and Research
  • DEA Office of National Security Intelligence
  • Energy Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence

(h/t redditor /u/PuffyHerb)

Will the NYT ever recover? Will Politifact retract their claim? Will Hillary admit she was peddling fiction during the debates?

Oh, and there’s this:

Now, enjoy a little Fake News…

CNN’s Jim Acosta Fails Again – Totally Shut Down By ICE Director Over Illegal Immigration

Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:12pm EST 10

During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Tom Homan – Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Attorney John Huber were brought in to discuss two upcoming pieces of immigration legislation – only to face CNN’s anchor-socked White House correspondent, Jim Acosta.

Focus on criminals

Director Homan made the point that out of the 66,000 illegals arrested since Trump’s executive orders on immigration enforcement were signed, “73 percent of everyone we have arrested were criminals.” Homan also noted ICE’s emphasis on “breaking up gangs and transnational smuggling organizations” and deporting bad hombres.

 CNN Level Spin

CNN’s Jim Acosta completely re-framed Homan’s message – accusing the Director of  “making it sound as if undocumented immigrants commit more crimes than people who are just native-born Americans” – a comment written long before the meeting as evidenced by Acosta rattling off some Cato Institute study.

Homan came back with a serious stack of pancakes for ol’ Jim:

DIRECTOR HOMAN:  “I think you’re misinterpreting what I’m saying… Number one, people that enter this country illegally violate the laws of this country.  You can’t want to be a part of this great nation and not respect its laws” adding that once an illegal alien has been given due process, “that final order from a federal judge needs to mean something or this whole system has no integrity.”

Later adding: “Did I say aliens commit more crimes than U.S. citizens?  I didn’t say that.”

Which Acosta promptly turned into:

Homan then went on to tell Acosta that illegal immigrants should not be comfortable – stating “if you enter this country illegally, you should be concerned that someone is looking for you.”  

Homan: 1

Acosta: 0

Mothers and Babies

Acosta then hit Homan with a hypothetical tear jerker about separating an illegal immigrant mother from her DREAMer children – calling the Trump administration’s adherence to the law “cold and clinical.”

[I]f you look at this from a cold and clinical standpoint, what you’re saying is because the mother crossed the border illegally, committed a crime, that she should be separated from her children.  What do you say to that?  –Abilio James Acosta

Homan responded: “U.S. Citizen’s families get separated every day when a parent gets arrested for a criminal charge. …when someone chooses to enter this country illegally, and they’re here illegally, and they choose to have a child that’s a U.S. Citizen – they put themselves in that position.

If we don’t have border security. If we don’t enforce the laws that’s written in the books, then you’re never going to control the border. Why do you think we’ve got 11 – 12 million [illegal] people in this country now?”

Homan: 2

Acosta: 0

Acosta Down!

CNN’s Acosta tried to go in for the kill, whimpering “So you should arrest the mothers, go after the mothers?” only to be out-SJW’d by another journalist who cut in – asking “if you are an undocumented immigrant in this country right now listening to you that you should be fearful, that you should be concerned, you should be looking over your shoulder that ICE is looking for you?” – A reference to a statement Homan made to congress two weeks ago when he said illegals “should be uncomfortable, should look over your shoulder, and you need to be worried.”

Homan told the journalists that they were “losing the message,” and went on to explain “ICE prioritizes our enforcement efforts on national security threats, public safety threats, those who have been ordered removed by a judge and failed to depart, and those who have been ordered removed, were removed, and reentered the country”

Adding the caveat “However, what I’m saying, during the course of those operations if we find someone here illegally, we’re not going to turn the other way.”
