Booker: Trump "Had The Media" Write About Migrant Caravans As If They Were A Threat To U.S.
RCP Video ^ | 7-11-2019 | Ian Schwartz

(snip)

Booker also said Trump has created a "fear-based culture" that made the media write about migrant caravan as if they were an existential threat to the United States. The Senator said ICE should be prioritized for "real challenges to our public safety" and not raids that take children away from their parents.

"Anderson, this is somebody who is trying to drive within this great country a fear-based culture," Booker told the host. "He tried to tell us we should be terrified about migrants coming up from the south, to the point that he had the media writing about a caravan as if that's going to threaten the mightiest country on the Planet Earth. His fear-based politics is undermining the safety of communities all around this country, where now you have immigrant communities are afraid to even go forward and report crime, sexual assault, violence, robberies to local police because they're afraid of being deported, afraid of dropping their kids off to school."

This may be all a play by Cory Booker for Dem primary crowd.

So many strawmen in his 'argument', how did it not Spontaneous Self Combust?

Who does Booker think will fall for this ludicrous canard?

Everyone knows the pinkos in the so-called “news” media have no interest in stopping the invading illegals.

Spartacus is at 2% in the polls. Below “other candidate” at 3%. His campaign is DOA.

I’m really confused as to why are we telegraphing about these ICE raids before they happen? Why not just do your job, why announce what you’re doing before hand? Makes no sense, unless you want the liberals to protest loudly about it.

Hmmmmm maybe this is a good reason to announce what you’re doing.

“Trump has created a “fear-based culture””

-—And here I thought it was the Dems that created a fear-based culture where they were afraid of ice, cops, white people, freedom of speech, the flag...

Cory Booker’s brother opened a school so bad it got shut down. N.J. just gave him a $150K education job

There is no conceivable way these raids would ever be a surprise.

Somebody introduce Booker to an Angel Family or two... or three.

Then let a family member kick his ass.
