As Twitchy readers know, plenty of Democrats and Lefties were calling for Abbott to be held accountable for a migrant mom and her two children who drowned at the southern border because Texas 'physically barred' border patrol from saving them. As our readers also know, this was not true.
At all.
But, of course, that didn't prevent a clueless bootlicker like clo from swallowing this lie hook, line & sinker, though.
Drew Holden was good enough to take CBS (and by default, any moronic Lefty/Dem pushing this story) apart in one of his tried and true threads:
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ CBS rushed out a scoop that migrants had drowned at the border because Texas had “physically barred” border patrol from saving them.
The problem? It wasn’t true, as Biden’s justice department even acknowledges. The headline has been updated with an editor’s note.
"... though it did note it was impossible to say what might have happened if Border Patrol had had its former access to the area." Pathetically lame. Nothing different would have happened because the Texas National Guard maintains water craft at that boat landing for the express purpose of rescuing anyone who is in trouble in that part of the river. Give it up, assholes ... you LIED on purpose.
It wasn't true.
Even Biden's DOJ acknowledges this.
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ It’s journalistic malpractice to just parrot baseless claims by an administration you like as gospel truth.
Why wasn’t there any due diligence? Where was the basic fact checking @CBSNews?
Can’t you see how considerable the walk back is here?
The walk back here is YUUUUUUUUGE ... because they know they got caught red-handed telling a big fat sleazy LIE and they had to desperately scramble to somehow save face. Meanwhile, the clueless knob-polishers on the Further Freedom From Thought board remain oblivious, as per usual.
Due diligence? Basic fact-checking.
Drew. Silly man, this is the mainstream media we're talking about ... they are simply ABOVE these things.
Yep ... the lamestream media doesn't care ... they're in the business of Democrat propaganda, not the news. They're just pissed because they got caught so easily and so clearly.
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ What’s happening at the border — driven by Biden’s inhumane open borders policy — is a tragedy.
The media lying about it doesn’t help anyone, or the broader situation.
The media doesn't want Biden held accountable for the mess he's intentionally made of the southern border.
We said what we said.
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ Tweet is still up though.
Because of course it is.
clo hasn't retracted her lying post, either. But, I'm suuuuuuuure once she realizes her post links to a proven, pathetic lie, she'll apologize and take it down, right?
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ This is only going to get worse as the election approaches.
Especially with Trump as the leading GOP candidate. We're going to see media get nastier and even more obnoxious which we wouldn't have thought possible.
Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) ~ As is always the case, the initial claim traveled much further than the since corrected and far less scandalous claim.
Look at the view count difference from this thread:
Well, Democrats have been taught to do this by their mentors and heros who they worship ...
Shocking.
