Hours after President Trump falsely claimed his predecessor was the one responsible for separating migrant children from their families, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith and chief White House correspondent John Roberts tag-teamed to deliver a comprehensive fact-check of the presidents lies.

The Trump administration did separate families, Smith declared. The Trump Department of Homeland Security estimates more than 2,300 children had been separated from their families by last spring. And the Trump administration did detain children in cages. An unknown number of those children is still not back with their families.
Later in the segment, while reporting on Trump insisting that hes not looking to reinstate family separations, Roberts addressed the presidents claims that President Obama had the law and we changed it.
The accurate reporting is that the zero-tolerance policy about prosecuting head of household was enacted under the Trump administration, Roberts stated.

(17,994 posts)Why John Roberts went to Fox. He is excellent and Shep Smith always tells the truth. He said his show was real news. Compared to the Evening Entertainment.

(18,874 posts)I have noticed that I will see one headline on CNN or ABC and then the headline at Fox puts exactly the opposite twist on it.
These are strange times.
Religious people are anti religion. Non religious people are the ones with religious values.
Everything that was once normal is now is turned upside down.
Strange times.
