Tucker Carlson The left's recurring theme -- Don't believe your own eyes. You're too dumb to trust your senses
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The image of a mob storming over the U.S. border is awkward for the American left and its allies. For weeks, they’ve been lecturing us that the caravan is fake news. Everything is fine at the border. Here’s how some of them have described it:
CNN’s BRIANNA KEILAR: The president, along with his favorite TV network, were beating the drum on the looming, so-called “invasion” as they called it.
SAM STEIN.DAILY BEAST/MSNBC:: And in this case, I think you accurately pointed out, the programming on the caravan was propaganda. It was a political campaign motivated propaganda.”
BILL MAHER: Trump is like a racist Paul Revere! “The migrants are coming! The migrants are coming!” ... He keeps calling it an ‘invasion.’ What? An invasion of strollers?
CNN’S ANDERSON COOPER: He (Trump) made news by ratcheting up the caravan scare talk and troop numbers he believes are needed to meet this alleged threat.
The “so-called” invasion. So, people are streaming over the border, literally, what would you call it? I don’t know, you’re not allowed to call it anything, actually.
This is a recurring theme on the left: Don’t believe your own eyes. You’re too dumb to trust your own senses. Listen to the smart kids, they know best.
There is no crisis on the border -- even as hundreds of thousands of people stream into this country every year illegally. There is no illegal immigration crisis. Yes, there are 22 million people living here illegally. It’s not a crisis. It’s not real.
They’ll tell you that on a loop, endlessly, until the day they retake power, at which point they’ll say that the crisis is real, in fact, it’s so enormous we can only solve it by granting blanket amnesty to all the people here illegally. There are 22 million, after all, what else can we do?
This is a metaphor really for the left’s entire program which is built entirely on denying reality.
They deny the reality of immigration.
They deny the reality of terrorism.
They deny the reality of biological gender. And woe to the person who raises his hand and tries to insert reality into the conversation. They don’t want that.
When you have a program built entirely on denial and deception it’s not surprising you’re also against free speech. You can’t afford to have an honest conversation.

If people are streaming over the border, I would say that the National Guard and the armed forces we have stationed there, are not doing any good.
But the military is not allowed to engage with the illegals
About 750 reached Tijuana yesterday bringing that city's total to 1500 awaiting their turn to apply for USA assylum.
Approximately 3000 more are still spread out throughout Mexico.
The Mayor of Tijuana has asked the Mexican Federal government to legalize these people if they wish to settle and find work in Tijuana.
Meanwhile 6000 American troops are pouring concrete vehicle barriers and stringing concertina wire behind the existing fences and to either side.
The man of reason has now become a driver of the discussion of American politics & culture. Emerging out of Fox's once solid news analysis lineup of Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity. Who would have thought that a few years ago?
Who's the man of reason?> Don't see one.
I wouldn't expect you to
Stop, I am begging you.
Even Mr. Trump hasn't blither, blathered about this now that the mid-terms have gone by. Hmmmmmmmm.
Yet again, projecting Trump's actual words of not believing what you see and hear on to the left. Its almost too easy to take your accusations and see you are really talking about republicans and projecting. Trump couldn't shut up about the caravan. Until the election, now he says NOTHING. It was nothing but distraction and bullshit.
