Caravan deniers look stupid now

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."

CNN screen grab.

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...

I couldn’t agree more, especially that they’re going to blame anything that goes wrong with their positions on their opposition anyway.

Shep Smith looked stupid before the invasion caravan.

They looked stupid before.

Actually the Left won this one. They needed to minimize the caravan for the elections and did just that. We never had a chance.

And DO NOT THING for a minute that the Left didn’t know EXACTLY what the caravan was or what their goals are - they have their people embedded - everything played out PERFECT for them, including having the election BEFORE Trump was proven right.

Obviously to place the child in photo op range for a tear gas response. In non cropped pics the child in this blow up can just be seen on the left edge of the photo.
