    My colleague @JuliaEAinsley just fact-checked @PressSec 's bogus, ridiculous claim that the US detained 4,000 known or suspected terrorists last year on the Southern Border. At best, this was the number of people flagged on watch lists at every border entry, including airports.

        I mean, Sarah's just phoning it in with the lies now. @DanScavino got fact checked with this same trope 2 years ago.

        Was such claim brought to the table during the meeting? Both @SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi (once again) lost a great opportunity today when all TV networks were in front of them, to expose those and other lies to the viewers of Fox News, where such lies keep living unchallenged.

        Trump & the gop never let facts get in the way of a good story. Trump will no doubt claim divinity, and require that "a great pyramid be constructed" as part of his wall.

        Emphasis: AT BEST/EVERY BORDER/INCLUDING AIRPORTS 4,000 detentions of "terrorists" goes unnoticed by anyone, goes unannounced prior to now? This is the sort of "we are under siege" nonsense Trump supporters WANT to believe. It relieves the dreadful tedium of their lives.

        McCarthy-like move straight out of Roy Cohn's playbook. "I have a list here of 3,000 terrorists!" Meanwhile the "list" is some BS search result that ID'ed migrants or religious pilgrims or guys in Guadalajara with parking tickets.

        Nielsen just did it again. Pure fabrication. I live in NYC. If I thought 3000+ terrorists were trying to get into the country every year, I'd move because they wouldn't be heading to the Walmart in Bowling Green, they'd head here. It's a "tremendous" lie.
