Fox News' Shepard Smith on caravan of migrants: ‘There is no invasion’

Fox News’ Shepard Smith dismissed the notion that a caravan of migrants headed to the U.S.-Mexico border were part of an “invasion,” pushing back against a term espoused by President Trump and others to describe the group.

On his show Monday, Smith said the charged language surrounding the caravan has to do with the coming midterm elections and stressed that the urgency behind the warnings is overblown. He said Fox News forecasts the migrant group is more than two months away from arriving in the U.S. as of Tuesday, adding, “if any of them actually come here.”

“But tomorrow is one week before the midterm election, which is what all of this is about,” Smith said. “There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There is nothing at all to worry about.”

The issue of the caravan has attracted some conspiracy theories, including one in which liberal billionaire George Soros and his foundation financially backed the caravan.

The suspected gunman behind the deadly mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, Robert Bowers, had posted anti-Semitic content on social media and shared posts that referred to the migrants as a “third world caravan” and “invaders.”

President Trump has also used the term “invasion” to characterize the group of migrants as he warned they would not be accepted into the U.S.

These are the same liberals that also complain that the freeways are too crowded and housing is too expensive. Go figure.

That's IT! George Soros is the man Shep loves and goes home to every night! You heard it here first!

We all know why Shepard Smith really likes those "caravans".   (The following youtube song explains why.   WARNING: Video contains gross footage, and dreadful singing by some Shepard-Smith kinds of guys!)

Go the hell away, fgt Smith.

Says the homo who enjoys letting his rear-end be invaded.

[EdnaMode]

Send all of them to Shep’s neighborhood then.

“Who is Shepherd Smith?”

Guess you don’t watch Fox New @ noon! He’s their gay news reader from 12 to 1 weekdays. I think he’s been given a remote studio somewhere in the South so he can be close to his fudgepacker “boyfriend.”

If Shep had spent less of his time applying mascara and KY jelly, he would have learned the tools of his professed trade: the English language. Then he would have known that the definition of "INVASION" is not restricted to an invading armed military but also includes:

- an unwelcome intrusion into another's domain.

- an incursion by a large number of people or things into another place or sphere of activity.

Anyone have a good email of the head of Fox News. We need to start a “Fire Sheppard” campaign. I am tired of his antics.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Ai, Shep! Not an invasion, just guests, right? Let's send them to your house, then.

I can just hear The first one over your threshhold announcing, "Tu casa es mi casa."

[JoSixChip]

Fox, do us a favor and get rid of him

There is an easier way, just get rid of fox snews in your life.

Smith said. “There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There is nothing at all to worry about.”

I knew this was coming. I knew some idiot was going to play the liberal "word redefinition" game and redefine "invade" for us. But I expected the someone to be a congregational piece of trash like Chuck Schumer or a talking head like Don Lemon. Congratulations, Shep, you've reached a whole new level of "stupid". Hope you enjoy the company.

Will Shrimpy Smith be down at the border trolling for some tender young boys again?

[TonyM]

So Shep if someone forces their way into your house it would not be a home “invasion”? If not then man up and post your address and make sure everyone in the caravan knows they are welcome to take advantage of your home. Since they are all such sweethearts I’m sure they won’t steal or damage anything or rape any availible females.

You sir are an idiot!

[Deplorable American1776]

Sheppard Smith is the Baghdad Bob of Fox news...

[Osage Orange]

Gay Smith is an idiot...

An FO NEWS is going to hell.........in a hand basket.
