Fox News has been getting a lot more brazen lately in its reporting and has actually been giving attention to a lot of anti-Trump coverage and topics. Upset that Donald Trump isn’t giving them the ratings and results they thought he would, the conservative channel has been wising up and become far more critical of the unhinged POTUS, leading to footage we never thought we’d see from the pro-Trump network.
This morning, Fox & Friends interviewed a panel of independent voters, questioning them on the caravan of Central American immigrants that has become a prime issue now that midterm elections are right around the corner. The network has focused on the caravan intensely this month, as has the president. However, it seems that voters consider this the least of America’s problems, and aren’t listening to the president’s fear-mongering anymore. Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy asked the voters:
How big a problem is that, that the United States has uneven immigration laws?”
Their responses were not good news for the GOP. One voter said:
I think uneven immigration laws are a problem for any country. And I think our immigration laws need to be modernized and updated. But this country is founded on immigration. And all of us come from immigrants.”
Doocy tried to instill fear into them, stating that the caravan could have up to 20,000 people once it gets to the border. The voter wasn’t having it. He said:
This is the mightiest country on the planet, I think we can handle a caravan of people, unarmed, coming to this country.”
Another voter said:
There’s a humanitarian crisis taking place in Central America. And yet, this issue gets turned into a complete political football. There’s very little honest discussion about what’s actually happening, it gets turned into talking points.”
And yet another voter slammed Trump by saying:
Treating this as an ‘invasion’ is a bad idea and it’s going to end horribly. People have to realize these are human beings coming here, and there needs to be a real solution offered in dealing with it.”
If this is the attitude voters are going into the midterm elections with, we might be saying goodbye to Trump before we know it. And it’s about time, because THIS is what the president was tweeting this morning (misspellings included):
Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!”
Not only is Trump fear mongering and firing off extremely irresponsible, damaging tweets, but he can’t even spell “emergency” correctly. This footage may just be the light at the end of the tunnel:
