Fake news should anger every American
To the editor:
Last week, Manfred Nowak, an expert from the U.N. Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty, claimed that 100,000 migrant children were detained by the Trump administration and indicated that it was the “world’s highest rate” of detained children. The following day, however, he acknowledged that the cited number actually was from 2015 — under President Obama.
Why was this “news” now but not news when it happened and why was it attributed to Trump instead of Obama, the real titleholder of the story?
NBC, NPR and Reuters, along with the usual suspects, immediately ran with this completely falsified story over the wires, through Twitter and, for a little while, it put a big grin on the faces of the obstructionist talking heads. The DNC “war room” chimed in and said, “This is a disgusting result of Trump’s family separation policies – pushed by Stephen Miller who has cited white nationalist propaganda in promoting his views. It’s also, apparently, a violation of a U.N. treaty, the Convention on the Rights of the Child,” unaware that it was slamming the Obama administration. Bernie Sanders was not about to be “scooped” and immediately Tweeted “Under Trump, America leads the world in locking up little kids – including 100,000 children at the border. This is immoral,” Sanders wrote in the now-deleted tweet.
For more than 3 years, our president and his supporters have endured a constant barrage of relentless attacks from the Socialist Democratic Party of America and the voters identifying as Democrats have stood silent or worse; they’ve seized on these completely fabricated lies to support their abject and obvious hatred of President Trump and every citizen that voted for him.
The left, by moving from false story to false narrative to conclusions of guilt without evidence and their rush to a socialistic form of future government, has lost all credibility with American voters. Their leaders have produced nothing for our country except chaos, sleight of hand investigations and dangerous, costly delays for the business of the American people.
The Democratic Party, with few exceptions, has gone completely “rogue’ and can no longer be considered anything but a party seeking the destruction of the American way of life, our liberty and our judicial system of equal justice under the law.
