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.

The old fence looks like it was designed to be climbed.

Or in some spots, walked over.

Shep Smith should be a librarian someplace

Maybe he can be the drag queen at libraries that have Drag Queen Story Hours.

So if I have a car, and trade it in at the dealership to get a car not previously owned by anyone, that’s not a new car?

If I buy a suit to replace a suit I’ve had for years, that’s not a new suit?

If I replace a TV that’s not working by purchasing a NEW one at Best Buy, that’s not a new TV?

Why Fox keeps him around is a mystery.

there is no new wall," Smith said. "Existing barriers have been replaced.

Hey, dumb ass, the "existing barriers" were not walls and they have been replaced by NEW WALLS.

When old steel rail vehicle barriers and strands of barbed wire are replaced by walls, those are new walls.

Some of that “existing barrier” was nothing more than a few piled up logs -— wouldn’t stop a child. I like the NEW 30’ fence better by far!!!

“Time for Smith to move to CNN.”

Actually IMO he fits right in with the new FOX. Won’t be long, and FOX will be totally on the other side with CNN.

Shep Smith is used to having to "push back"...

That's his Constitutionally protected right according to some (particularly all the bathhouse members and employees)...

If Trump loses, it will be because there is no big beautiful wall.

“I would rather them replace crappy fence in a high traffic area than build new fence way out in the middle of nowhere.”

There are some really desolate areas just north of the border without walls that even scorpions and rattle snakes stay out of.
