Ken Cuccinelli, the acting Director of the Citizenship and Immigration Services office, went toe-to-toe with CNN host Alisyn Camerota on Friday, pushing back against the network's liberal talking points. The topic was the Trump administration's revision of the so-called Flores Agreement, which required border-crossing families with children to be released from custody after 20 days. Under the new rule, such families can be detained until their immigration status is resolved.
Under the old rule, people with unfounded asylum claims would flood the border, knowing they'd soon be released, never to be seen again. The new rule will discourage such fraudulent entries, and also protect the children being trafficked, being used as a ticket to get people into the country.
When Cuccinelli made the point about protecting children, Camerota let out a loud sigh, then rolled footage of allegedly overcrowded conditions in which children would be kept. CNN arranged it so that Cuccinelli could not see the footage, and when he tried to make his point, Camerota attempted to cut him off. That prompted Cuccinelli to say:
"I know you don't want real answers; I know you don't want truth. You want your narrative to go, but I'm not going to sit back and take that."

Alisyn Camerota tries to push the liberal line on immigration, but Cuccinelli pushes back effectively.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
CNN is not a news organization. The time is long past to just avoid them. They cannot by overt about it or FNC and the others will circle the wagons around them. Just shadow ban them.
Sorry to be sexist, but some photographer told her “Hey, look dumb. That’s it. Hold it.” And she never looked back.
Note: I say the same thing about O’Rourke, Jeb Bush and others who are male.
“...CNN is not a news organization....”
Exactly. They’re nothing but a HUGE financial donation to the RATs and should be treated as such.
Smarmy, ignorant media whore. One of many.
Same agenda pushed by Bush League Republicans like Micro Rubio and Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Amnesty is the only answer.
Liberal talking heads always look extremely retarded and even more so when they are challenged and proven wrong on air.
HOORAY Ken Cuccinelli. Thank you, sir.
I like Cooch.
Good for Ken Cuccinelli - all of us need to stand up to the liars...
Miss Stupid met her match in “Cuch”. He doesn’t take any crap from anyone.
My then 8 year old granddaughter worked the phones during his gubernatorial campaign and when he learned about it, he personally met her to thank her for doing this.
He’s a former Att. Gen. of Virginia. One fine lawyer and slayer of leftist media BS artists.
