In a stunning departure from the network’s typical liberal spin on the news, CNN reporter Rosa Flores called out Joe-Joe Biden for not meeting with illegal immigrants during his first visit to our southern border.
This from westernjournal.com.
In the video below, which aired on Monday, CNN host Poppy Harlow spoke to Flores, who was reporting from El Paso, Texas, where Biden had spent three hours on Sunday.
Harlow noted that Biden had met with border patrol agents and local law enforcement officials, but he did not speak with any of the migrants.
Flores explained:
That’s why the president is being criticized by both sides because of what he didn’t see.So let me show you. Because this is one of the migrant camps that’s here in downtown El Paso.
And you know, the immigration advocates here in El Paso and Governor Greg Abbott usually don’t agree on much, but they do raise the same question: If President Biden came here to El Paso to see the reality on the ground about the border and he didn’t come here, what’s considered the epicenter of this crisis, did he leave with a clear understanding?
Flores continued:
My colleague, MJ Lee, asked the White House about the president not interacting or meeting with any migrants, and a senior administration official told her that it is because there were no migrants at the respite center at the time that the president visited and that it was coincidental.
Flores clearly was not buying that answer, telling Harlow:
But Poppy, I checked the migrant dashboard that the city of El Paso has. And at the time when the president was here, there were nearly 1,000 migrants who were in federal detention.So if the president really wanted to see conditions, I kind of doubt that the president of the United States would have been denied access.
Harlow pointed out the migrants that were sleeping on the sidewalk behind Flores, who said:
You see them here behind me. Hundreds of people living in the streets of America, I should highlight. This is a city in America, in the United States, and the top executive of this country came here, [but] he did not come to see this.
Hearing the truth being reported by CNN is surprising—and some might say, refreshing—but the adjective ‘curious’ comes to mind. And the question, ‘Why is CNN now reporting the truth?’
“At any rate, Biden can no longer be accused of not having traveled to the border.”
But did he really come face to face with the humanitarian crisis [The Regime’s] reckless policies have caused?
Judging from Flores’ account and other reports, particularly those from the conservative media, the answer to this question is a definite, ‘No.’
According to The New York Post:
[O]ne of their photographers witnessed city workers dismantling migrant encampments and sending ‘hundreds of migrants across the border to Mexico’ ahead of Biden’s visit.
As reported:
Six buses loaded with mostly Venezuelan migrants were spotted crossing a downtown bridge to Ciudad Juarez, the frontier city in Mexico, Saturday, as police escorted dozens more to a pedestrian crossing.
One Border Patrol agent who wished to remain anonymous told the outlet that:
“200 people were sent back to Mexico Saturday.”
Nothing to see here folks, everything’s been scrubbed clean for our Buffoon in Chief’s visit! “On Tues & Wed law enforcement teams moved through the downtown area, picking up migrants who had entered the country illegally.
The Cleanup…its all staged” https://t.co/KwMFUnG9Qs

Curious. Anyone talking about the cleanup in El Paso, Texas ahead of Bidens visit? Like his presidency, all lies on the reality of his worthless policy on our open border. We can't have Biden see the reality

And two more questions come to mind:
How could the city leaders of El Paso possibly see this masquerade as being in the city’s best interest—to downplay the results of the [Obiden Regime’s] destructive policies? And,
Why would officials present a sanitized version of the city for the Biden make-believe inspection?
Obviously, the clean up the city was top-down directed. The Obiden Regime is determined to destroy our Republic and they are going to extensive measures to hide their actions at least until the digression has gone too far to be reversed.
Well, we can outline three obvious facts behind this Biden whirlwind visit to a southern border town:
– Little or no further traction will be given to this story by the mass propaganda media,
– Biden has crossed off one more item on his bucket list, and
– CNN will now be able to truthfully say they are a truthful news network. Afterall, once may very well be sufficient in their minds.
