Fox News's Shepard Smith pushes back on Trump: 'There's no new wall ... not true'

Fox News chief anchor Shepard Smith on Wednesday disputed President Trump’s recent remarks about border wall construction, saying on air that "there is no new wall."

Smith's remarks were in response to a tweet from the president that said the wall is "going up very fast."

"So far, despite the president's claims to the contrary, there is no new wall," Smith said. "Existing barriers have been replaced. Same span. The total of repaired barrier is about 60 miles along that 2,000-mile border."

"The president also said in the tweet that the wall is going up rapidly. It is not. As we just reported, there's no new wall. Only replacement for walls which were in need of repair or upgrade. Those are the facts," Smith added.

I stopped watching Fox because of this little twinkle-toed, turd burglar, pillow biter. His voice annoys me, and his eyes that are just a tad pointing in opposite directions creep me out. Btw, his fellow sodomite Mayor Lightfoot from Chicago has that same eyes-pointing-outward-a-little-too-far. Any of you ever notice that?

What does Shemp think he will accomplish with this? We know Trump was blocked at every turn including the worthless POS Ryan. He did what he could poofter.

I was complaining about Trump not building new parts of the wall until I saw photos of how bad old parts of the wall looked.

"What is Shep’s FR posting name?"

If there is a "FoxFag" in the FR screen name database, you've found him.

By the same tortured lack of logic, people do not buy new cars - they must be called “replacement” cars.

Pure semantics. Amazing the emotional intensity they pour into denying obvious reality.

Literally, millions of tons of concrete and steel have been emplaced.

If you take down the old wall and put another different wall how is it “not new”

The gay blade wouldn’t waste his time here.
He’s nasty and spiteful, but only in his own arena.

When he was covering the floods caused by the rising Mississippi River, he came to Vicksburg, so I made DrO drive me downtown so I could see Shepard up close to make sure he either wore mascara or false eyelashes...LOL.

Sure enough, his lashes were thickly coated with black mascara and he happened to be barking orders at an underling at the time I strolled up to have a close look at him. He’s quite tall, BTW, and full of himself.

Nobody was asking him for an autograph or a selfie with him. He radiated “stay away” much like a prima donna.

Yes, most of the wall is being built in areas where the previous barriers were laughed at...just as the person who built them was laughed at.

There is new wall going up and it’s going up rapidly now with the appropriated funds President Trump moved.

Shep can go suck one over at MSNBC.

Especially when the existing barrier is some barbed wire. And what’s replacing it is 18 foot steel bollards.

To extend your analogy, it’s like saying that swapping a moped for an SUV is insignificant because they’re both “vehicles”.

That guy with the Trump Wall tracker has a great idea, but poor execution.

He lists the 63 mile contract on Arizona as 43% complete. It just started last week.

Perfect plan: When you have nothing to say, rely on nitpicking to make your point. The word "new" to me means "recent". To Stupid Shepard, "new" means "nothing resembling what is there now was ever there before". So this

is the same as this:

So he wants new wall where there is nothing presently. When that starts to happen he still won’t be happy.
