The mainstream media is in hysterics over recent events at the southern border.

CNN is glossing over the fact that hundreds of illegals rushed the border, characterizing them as “peaceful demonstrations.”

But a Border Patrol agent went live on CNN’s air and exposed their fake news in a matter of seconds.

CNN asked Chief Patrol Agent, Rodney Scott, to defend the decision to use tear gas against the illegal immigrants.

Rodney Scott put CNN in their place with his answer.

“One of our primary missions is to keep the border safe and secure. I challenge the idea that this was a peaceful protest, or the claim that the majority of these people were claiming asylum… The group immediately started throwing debris and rocks at our agents and taunting them.

Once our agents were assaulted and the numbers started growing… They deployed tear gas to defend themselves.” – Rodney Scott

Rodney Scott went on to cast doubt on the idea that the members who make up the caravan are all asylum seekers.

CNN immediately regretted the decision to have Rodney Scott on air.

The mainstream media is attempting to portray President Trump and Border Patrol agents as heartless.

They’ve plastered one picture of a woman and young girl all over the papers.

But CNN’s own reporter embedded in the caravan admitted that a vast majority of the illegals were adult men.

And they are economic immigrants – not asylum seekers.

The reality is that the media have no interest in reporting the truth about the situation.

Border Patrol agents deployed tear gas when they were vastly outnumbered and being assaulted.

The media didn’t make a peep when border patrol agents deployed tear gas when Obama was president as well.
