Former network news star Katie Couric actually interviewed a Republican – Sen. Rand Paul – on her YouTube show, and the senator tried to take a moderate tone in contrast to Couric’s extremist DNC talking points. Couric cited a CBS News number.
“Senator, if ICE agents were truly talking about the worst of the worst, as the president likes to say,” she began. “Less than 14 percent of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE in President Trump’s first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.”
Liberals can’t do the math that even if you accept this claim, that’s 56,000 violent criminals.
Many network reports (in addition to CBS) have tried to harp on the notion that Trump is somehow failing if violent criminals aren’t 100 percent of the deported. Then they play games and don’t count people charged with violent crimes, or convicted in other countries of violent crimes. Paul said “the facts make a difference.”
Why do conservatives and Republicans consent to interviews with liberals like her, or anyone from CBS, NBC, ABC. CNN, etc.? It’s nothing but attacks and loaded questions. They need to refuse.
