McCarthy Blasts CNN For Saying ‘Open Border’ Is A Talking Point: ‘11,000 People Came Across Illegally’ In Last 24 Hours | Eastern North Carolina Now

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy slammed CNN while speaking with reporters on Monday after the left-wing network said claims that the U.S. border was open was a "talking point."

    The news comes as Fox News reported on Monday that sources from Customs and Border Protection said that they encountered approximately 11,000 illegal aliens over the last 24 hours on the southern border, which they said was the "single highest day" that they could remember.

    Host Jim Acosta was combative with Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) during an interview over the weekend about the ever-worsening illegal immigration crisis on the southern border, claiming that he was "throwing rhetoric around with no basis in fact."

    When Norman asked Acosta if he's been to the border, Acosta snapped, saying: "I'll ask the questions, sir."

    "And the border is not open. That is something that is peddled as a talking point, it's not true," Acosta claimed. "There are fences. There are walls. There are Border Patrol agents who work on the border."

    Norman fired back: "The five plus million that have gotten into this country illegally is not a figment of our imagination. Ask the Border Patrol agents. Ask anybody down there. They're frustrated."

    McCarthy then called out CNN blogger Manu Raju while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill about the looming government shutdown.

    "CNN referred to yesterday that an 'open border' is a talking point," he said. "Well, we just set a new record of 11,000 people came across illegally. The record was just Friday, a few days before, of 10,000."


    McCarthy said that the media needed to accurately report the situation on the border and that Republicans want border security to be front in center as they address government funding.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail

Since only about 20% of the News Media has any shred of Journalistic Integrity remaining: How does our Constitutional Republic continue without a "Free Press"?

  Demand real information, using real sources, backed up by facts.

  Promote real journalist entities only, and admonish those that prostitute their profession.

  We Democratic Socialists are doing just fine, thank-you, by promoting lies while having very little real knowledge about so much.

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?

  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.

  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.

  It is Donald Trump's fault.

  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?
