WATCH: Ted Cruz Challenger Colin Allred Gets Brutally Fact-Checked On-Air.

(Democrats have NO QUALMS ABOUT LYING and they will not hesitate to lie to your face even though these days there is video of almost every lie. The lies need to be shown every time they lie. P.S. My definition of "brutally" would have involved calling him out as a liar after he said it was taken out of context.)
Claiming that something lacks "context" has become a catch-all for many politicians, and Democrat Colin Allred is no different. The current House representative is facing off against Ted Cruz for a U.S. Senate seat and running surprisingly close in some polls. He also decided to blatantly lie to a local news channel about his position on the border wall and got brutally fact-checked in response.
ABC 2, which airs in parts of West Texas, recently interviewed Allred, and he was pressed about some of his past comments. Those included a hearing in 2018 in which he called the border wall "racist" and insisted his generation would "tear it down," a statement Cruz allies have been using in ads. In response to the reporter's question on the matter, Allred insisted "that's a comment taken out of context." The news station was ready, though.

REPORTER: Do you still believe that the border wall is racist and would you support legislation that provides funding to control more of it?
ALLRED: Well, they're talking, that's a comment taken out of context, really.
NARRATION: Well, hold on, here's the context.
(Cuts to video of 2018 hearing)
ALLRED: Well, I want to really briefly talk about this racist wall because the symbol of this country can't be a fence with a barbwire on top of it. It has to remain the Statute of Liberty, and I'll tell you what, if they build that racist wall, my generation will be the one who will tear it down.
NARRATION: It's true, he said that on multiple occasions...

Can anyone point to the supposed missing context that changes the meaning of what Allred clearly said on video? There's nothing ambiguous about his statement. He called the border wall racist twice and then directly pledged to tear it down. In short, Allred is a far-left Democrat, cosplaying as a moderate for electoral gain.
Having been privy to some of his television ads, almost all of them focus on a supposed break with his party on the issue of illegal immigration. In one instance, he claims to have "stood up" to Joe Biden on the border. Did he, though? To put it succinctly, no.
To prove that, one only needs to look at his voting record. Allred enjoys a 100 percent "Biden score," which means he has not opposed the president on a single policy position via legislation. So what's he using to support his claim of independence? Allred voted for a resolution after announcing his candidacy that condemned Biden's handling of the border. It was set to pass with or without his vote.
No one should believe he did that for any other reason than to create a talking point for his campaign. When the rubber hit the road, Allred was a reliable rubber stamp for the Democratic Party, and he'll be so again if he makes it to the Senate. His campaign is a scam. It's an attempt to run away from who he really is in a desperate effort to pull the wool over the eyes of voters. Come to think of it, there's a lot of that going around among Democrats.

 Democrat Hack Jerry Nadler Insults America—Illegal Aliens Are the 'Lifeblood of This Country.’

Veteran Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, managed to insult — let me correct that: intentionally insulted — the whole of America during a Thursday hearing as he condemned criticism of the illegal alien invasion of the U.S., AKA: the intentional Biden Border Crisis.
This was even visceral for Nadler, who has infamously made disparaging, broad-based statements about this country for decades. (Emphasis, mine.)
We will hear an argument largely devoid of facts and wrong in the law that immigrants are a drain on public benefits, rather than the lifeblood of this country.
Let's think that through, shall we?
Not hardworking Americans who continue to build this country. Not doctors and scientists who continue to improve our quality of life. Not dedicated teachers who actually teach our kids, rather than those who attempt to indoctrinate them with left-wing groupthink.
Nope. Illegal aliens, who continue to surge across our southern border, exactly as Joe Biden has willingly allowed to happen since day one of his disastrous presidency.

 

How does that make you feel? Chances are if you despise Nadler and his latest outrageous declaration, you're feeling exactly how this elitist fool wants you to feel.
Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, called Nadler's comments "nonsense."
How can … [the illegal alien share] ... one of six of the population represent the lifeblood of the whole country?
It’s not just mathematical nonsense, it’s insulting …It’s a clear indication that they just don’t think Americans are any good, and that we need better people to come from abroad to inhabit our country.
They’re saying that Americans are decadent and aren’t good enough, and someone else needs to come in to either replace them or wake them up. They’re saying Americans need competition because they’ve gotten soft.
It’s like the big businessman, [or] factory owner who’s against unions because he wants to make sure he can keep his workers on their toes and not demand too much.
It's simple, Mr. Krikorian. Nadler doesn't give a damn about facts. No Democrat does when facts counter their various narratives. (See: "Science," "COVID-19," "Anthony Fauci.") Besides, Democrats like Nadler are only concerned with preaching to their low-information, rank-and-files voters.
Krikorian added: It’s a figure of speech [and] it’s clearly an insulting usage, but they certainly don’t see it in any kind of race sense." Yup, and Nadler spewed it precisely because it was insulting.
Nadler continued his insults, saying that illegal aliens are needed to pick our vegetables, and then some:
We need immigrants to this country. Forget the fact that our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants.
The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start shrinking … This is a problem faced by every major country in the world.
Few countries, however, have the means to solve this problem through immigration. People want to immigrate to the United States …We are very lucky in that respect, and we should promote it and regulate it properly.

Nadler broached "replacement," using it to connect dots that don't exist. What he didn't broach — or even hint at — is that legal immigration isn't under fire across the country: Joe Biden's intentional border crisis is.
Krikorian caught it, too:
"They’re saying that [a sufficient number of] having babies is a job Americans [won't] do, so it’s Congress’s responsibility to procure more bodies."
 It’s the government’s responsibility to see if there are obstacles that [can] be removed so that people can have the number of kids they want, and survey data shows that couples don’t have as many kids as they want.
Wow. I was unaware that it's the government's job to ensure that Americans have "enough" kids. This is how out-of-touch leftists like Nadler think.

Matt Gaetz Causes CNN Host, Abby Phillip, to End Interview After Fact-Checking Her Live On-Air.

CNN's Abby Phillip learned on Friday evening why you don't try to challenge someone on-air without having all the facts.
Phillip has seen more screen time following the departure of Chris Licht, the liberal network's former CEO, and she's already made a name for herself. She was one of those pushing the idea that the hit movie Sound of Freedom was actually meant to appeal to QAnon conspiracy theorists. Phillip has also called Fox News "outrage porn," apparently having no self-awareness at all about the fact that she works for CNN.

PHILLIP: You did vote against the defense appropriations bill this week that...
GAETZ: No, I didn't
PHILLIP: The rule...
GAETZ: No, you're wrong
PHILLIP: The rule to...
GAETZ: Abby, this is going to be a very embarrassing moment when the internet corrects you on this. I voted for the defense rule both times.
PHILLIP: Uh, oh, well, I...I stand corrected. Congressman, appreciate you joining us tonight, thank you so much.
You have to love her ending the interview immediately. Given her statement, it appears she was trying to ask Gaetz another question before he dropped a real-time fact-check on her. I guess she didn't want anymore after that. It's likely that the rest of her interview notes centered on the idea that Gaetz voted against the rule and is somehow a hypocritical obstructionist. Once that was off the table, it was time for a commercial.
I don't know why reporters, and I believe Phillip identifies as such, do this. They let their own biases push them into making obvious mistakes because they are so eager to present a specific narrative. When it comes to Gaetz, the narrative CNN wants the audience to hear is that Republicans can't govern and are putting national security at risk.
Of course, that's not true. Gaetz has been pushing for regular order, which means individual appropriation bills. You know, the way the government used to spend money for most of its history until about five minutes ago. Imagine being treated as an obstructionist because you just want to do things the way they are supposed to be done. It's absurd.
Regardless, I'm sure Phillip gave her producer an earful after the interview, assuming she was fed the idea that Gaetz had voted against the defense appropriation rule. Perhaps she'll be just a bit more cautious next time.
