On Friday's The Last Word show, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell gave California Democratic Rep. Norma Torres an unchallenged forum to claim that the Trump administration has "murdered" illegal immigrant children as the two discussed the recent death of a seven-year-old girl after she was transported across the desert illegally by her father.
Additionally, O'Donnell accused the administration of destroying water supplies left in the desert to help illegals even though Border Patrol released a statement condemning agents who were caught on film destroying water in an incident believed to have happened during the Obama administration.
MSNBC Lets Dem Guest Claim Trump Admin 'Murdered' Immigrant Children
After noting that administration officials have blamed the father for his daughter's death, the liberal MSNBC host added: "But everyone in the Trump administration has done everything they possibly can to make that trip more dangerous, more deadly."
As video was shown of agents destroying jugs of water in the desert believed to date back as far as 2011, O'Donnell continued:
They destroy water supplies that are left in the desert by samaritans who are doing what Donald Trump's Bible tells them to do. The Trump administration is illegally blocking fathers and daughters like this from seeking asylum at our border stations. And so they face the choice of hopelessly waiting near a border station for the Trump administration to suddenly decide to obey the law or find a more dangerous way to cross.
A bit later, he brought aboard Rep. Torres, who complained about the Trump administration's treatment of illegal immigrants, before adding: "They murdered this child. They did that."
Referring to another child who died earlier in the year after leaving Border Patrol detention, Torres added: "They murdered the 18-month-old little girl that died a few days after they released her back in June, and they murdered many other children, and they're separating families, and they must be held accountable."
Not mentioned was that the number of deaths in detention per year since Trump took office has been about the same as what it was when President Barack Obama was in office.
O'Donnell then repeated his claim that "they are out there destroying the water supplies that good samaritans put out there for people who find themselves in these situatoins."
Did anyone actually expect O’Donnell to say, “Now cut that out, Norma. Your assertion is slanderous and reprehensible, and you owe the President and his administration an apology!” /s
The press is unquestionably an enemy of the people, the Constitution and the truth.
Whatever may befall them they deserve a hundred fold!
Torres? That’s Hispanic isn’t it? She should have recused her big, America-hating mouth.
They aren’t even immigrant children, they are illegal alien children.
Just another thread carrying democratic propaganda against Trump on FR......seems to be the trend here.
If Hillary was President and the same thing happened, the news would report it in neutral terms without making moral judgements, if they reported it at all.
The Communist media shows their true colors every single day. They make North Korean news seem legitimate they hate everything they disagree with and want it dead
O’Donnell is a nut-case,and I will leave it at that.
.
When the Hell will you people start pointing the finger at Comcast?
They have been bad for decades but in the last two years they have become completely unhinged.
It will not end well. (I’m preaching to the choir)
Destroying water tanks. Hmmmmm
I guess poison would be more humane.
How about not trying to cross the desert with a 7 year old.
re: making the trip more deadly
Well gee whiz, MSM and Democraps, what we are trying to get is a nice big WALL so that no one will be trying to drag children (or anyone) across the desert.
Does America have it in itself to be equal to the task?
I have stated, UNEQUIVOCALLY, that these people want to all conservatives destroyed, utterly destroyed, and worse. This is not hyperbole. These people would rather see the United States obliterated as a constitutional republic, capitalism utterly dismantled, democracy itself destroyed, and finally, the destruction of all conservatives and non-progressives. This is NOT an exaggeration, but the ultimate goal of the Democrat Party.
Yeah I mean I think we ALL know the media is 99.9 percent registered Democrat..and Im OK with that, as long as they can at least PRETEND to be unbiased..but I think since 2008 it started getting really bad, their love fest with Obama, they refused to report on ANYTHING negative about him. Heck half the stuff I found out about Obama and his Administration I had to read online, never heard it in the press..but since Trump was elected, and the commie media worked SO hard to get Hillary elected and FAILED they have gone full commie
“Carolinafornia DemoKKKratiKKK Rep. Norma Torres”
Full commie and full retard.
Whenever I see a clip of these so-called journalists I feel like I’m watching outtakes from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
The parent of this child should be charged with murder. Where is that story?
What is wrong with posting what the Trump’s detractors in the media are saying? To turn a blind eye to the enemys’ opinions is to be unprepared for the war!
