Tucker Carlson: Biden administration lying to Americans, hiding key facts about the border crisis

How many potential terrorists have crossed the border in the last three months and not been caught?How many gang members? How many rapists and murderers?

"Deploying troops to our own border for no national security reason is one of the biggest scandals of his presidency," declared Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, with what looked like carefully simulated outrage. Rep. Filemon Vela Jr., D-Texas, then the top Democrat on the subcommittee in charge of border security, described Trump's tiny troop deployment as a political ploy designed to "appease his [W]hite nationalist supporters." The so-called "national security community" claimed to be every bit as upset as their partners in the Democratic Party. "It's a craven misuse of the U.S. armed forces for an obvious political stunt," said a former National Security Council staffer called Kelly Magsamen. That turned out to be the right thing to say for ambitious young players in D.C. Fewer than three years later, Kelly Magsamen is now chief of staff to the secretary of defense, noted political activist and defense contractor Lloyd Austin. Filemon Vela Jr., meanwhile, has now ascended to vice chairmanship of the DNC. In Washington, there is always a real payoff for those willing to repeat the necessary slogans.
