CNN screen grab.

The migrant caravaners are here! And leading figures in the media from CNN's Jim Acosta to political leaders like former president Barack Obama – who made all sorts of false or baseless claims about them – have egg all over their faces.
In his now infamous confrontation with President Trump during a White House news conference just after the midterm elections, Acosta admonished the president that the migrants were "hundreds and hundreds of miles away."
It turns out that over 5,000 of them started showing up in Tijuana, the Mexican town opposite San Diego, just days later; the migrants have been squatting in and around the town's sports stadium just feet away from the U.S. border. Acosta also berated Trump for calling the migrant caravan an "invasion" and claimed it's not. Yet hundreds of migrants just stormed our border, pushed past the feckless Mexican police and threw rocks and glass bottles at U.S. Border Patrol agents. Acosta said they're not going to be climbing over walls. Yet the migrants climbed over walls and tore apart sections of our dilapidated border fence, trying to break into our country. Many made it. At least 42 migrants were arrested in the U.S. So every assertion of Acosta's turned out to be false and every one of Trump's to be true.
Democratic politicians would not be outdone by the media. While barnstorming in support of Democratic candidates in the days leading up to the midterms, Obama said of Trump, "They do this every election cycle – try to terrify folks – and then the election comes and the problem suddenly magically vanishes. You never hear about it again." Yet we've been hearing about and trying to deal with this problem every day since...

How many buses and trucks did CNN sponsor to get them here faster?
Some caravan deniers will have enough sense to keep quiet right now. Others will say ‘they were misquoted or misheard’.
Yeah, right.
I wouldn’t put it past CNN to do just that.
My favorite was Obama saying that they were not even NEAR the border.
He sounded slightly mad in that speech-——desperate to be relevant again.

Jim Acosta has always looked stupid to me.
Hell. These people have made their careers looking stupid. Seems to be quite profitable, too.
Barak Hussein Obama has also always looked stupid to me.
ping!
Perfect!
The Kenyan has always been Mad as a Hatter,
given to rages over imaginary foes.
Remember his ‘Shout-Outs’ to pals during funerals and national speeches after tragic events? I do.
Let's Wrap This Baby Up, Folks!
I can one up that, Michelle Robinson Obama has always looked stupid to me.
He sounded slightly mad in that speech-——desperate to be relevant again.
Right. His voice reached a hysterical high pitch as, eyes bulging and wildly gesticulating, he dismissed the impending invasion as nothing
Oh they have all looked stupid long as I can remember...
they only look stupid to republicans, independents and liberals don’t realize they look stupid, and don’t know the meaning of the word shame- when the hysteria of their idiocy calms down over the caravan, because hte facts don’;t match their hyperventilating hysteria, they will simply shamelessly move right on to the next idiotic claim- they thrive on looking foolish-
It’s not just a “look”.
But the issue isn't going away, and it's hardening the opposition to a related issue, amnesty for the illegals already here. That is being patched over by a barrage of misdirection at the moment but that isn't going away either.
Bump to a Ben Garrison cartoon that is the absolute truth. This lady and her ‘poor, starving children’ are , prolly paid, shills.
