Fox News host Chris Wallace said Friday that the idea, which has been floated by President Donald Trump, that Democrats are behind the “caravan” of immigrants coming from Honduras is “preposterous.”

“Let me say first of all the idea that the Democrats were somehow behind this caravan coming from Honduras of these women and children is preposterous and there’s been no evidence offered on that any more than there was evidence that the protestors on Capitol Hill during the Kavanaugh hearings were paid protestors,” he said.

    Pretty much everything Trump says is preposterous, and yet here we are.

  2. When you’ve lost Fox news. . . .

    And not a moment too soon. I hope this is the beginning of a new trend.

    Usually Trump projects the opposite of what he does on to someone else. In this case he says democrats are behind the caravans. What if it is really republicans who are behind the caravans by Trump motivating and in cases actually challenging these refugees to come to the US. The caravans coming at this time benefits Trump at a time when he needs to motivate his base. What more of a motivation than caravans of refugees traveling to the US?? Just saying.

  4. Chris is now in his 70s. Perhaps he hears his father talking to him from the Great Beyond. Mike would have been all over this garbage.

    FWIW, one of my favorite follows on Twitter is Dan Rather. He really got screwed over.

  5. So Dotard will deem this non-fake news to be fake news faked to be from the only not-fake news source.

    Does that make it a triple or quadruple negative? I lose track so easily these days…
