Chris Wallace get stung by Trump immigration lies ... in front of a national TV audience

It’s gotta be tough to be a Trump apologist. Your choices are simple:

1) call the President a liar, like Scaramucci did
2) defend his lies and eat shit, like Chris Wallace had to do last night

Either way, it’s gotta be tough.

I feel your pain, Trump loyalists!

Stephen Colbert Embarrasses Fox News’ Chris Wallace, Catches Him in Immigration Lie
The ‘Late Show’ host thoroughly embarrassed the Fox News host when he attempted to defend Trump’s immigration speech on Thursday.

On Thursday, President Trump delivered a lie-packed speech on immigration intended to whip up his base prior to the midterms.

Later that evening, The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Fox News host Chris Wallace to his program. And after Wallace acknowledged that the GOP’s health care stance—that Republicans have repeatedly tried to strip people of health care who have pre-existing conditions, contrary to their bogus claims—is “a problem for Republicans,” he tried to “argue the good part” of the president’s immigration speech.

“Fear of the caravan is not good, but the idea that three, or five, or seven thousand people from another country can just walk up to our border, knock on the door, and say, ‘We want in! We want to take jobs here, we want to work here’—no!” exclaimed Wallace. “A country does need to have borders and there does need to be some kind of system that determines whether people are allowed in the country or not. Seriously, do you believe in open borders?”

“No, we don’t have an open border!” Colbert fired back. “There is a system, and three to five thousand people will not make it here. This has happened many times before, and they never do, and you know that! And you know that there is a system in place, and there is a legal system, and we have laws that allow asylum. So I believe in the law. Do you believe in the law, Chris Wallace?”

“Uh, yeah, sure, I believe in the law,” Wallace replied.

“OK, then I accept your apology,” Colbert cracked.

But Wallace persisted: “No, because of the fact that under the asylum rules now, if somebody comes in and they say, ‘We have credible fear of persecution,’ what happens? They are put out into the country, we don’t have enough places to put them, so we do have a catch-and-release program, and about 10 percent of the people that are caught and released return for their hearings. And only about 10 percent get legitimate asylum.”

Colbert wasn’t sold. “I’m not sure that that’s true. Those aren’t the facts that I’ve seen,” he said, before shouting to a researcher off-screen to fact-check Wallace’s stats, adding, “We’ve got a long interview. By the time this is over we’ll know whether you’re right, OK?”

With that, Wallace immediately started backpedaling. “I may be wrong… Only 10 percent of the people who seek asylum are granted asylum,” he said.

“Well, that’s different than what you said,” pointed out Colbert.

“Well, I said two things,” offered Wallace. “I said that and I also said”—

“That they don’t show up for their hearing,” chimed in Colbert.

“A lot of them don’t,” said Wallace.

“If a majority show up for their hearing, how wrong would you be?” Colbert asked.

“I would be about 40 percent wrong,” confessed Wallace, with a nervous grin.

Later on, a Late Show researcher pulled the numbers from PolitiFact, and according to Justice Department data, 60 percent to 70 percent of non-detained immigrants attended immigration-court proceedings.

Gee the lamestream media gets it wrong, that's shocking , and just who doesn't know this whole mess is a stunt , and blown way out of proportion. ( by both sides of the issue)

So what are you saying? That Fox is complicit in promoting Trump's lies to the American public?

Or that Chris Wallace just got his ass handed to him?

BIGLY!

So, 30 to 40% don’t show up. Still a large #.

Colbert is just spouting the usual Liberal/Progressive/Socialist Democrat Dogma......." So, 30% never show up, it's no big deal".

How many of that 30% are now criminals? They obviously have something to hide if they don't want to show up.

Or maybe you just don't care. Truth is, I doubt I care much either.

You should probably do your research a little better. Chris Wallace is from the Shep Smith camp at Fox. He's on your side! He hates Trump!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

To be honest, Trump had a point when he told another interviewer that he wouldn't of gotten elected telling the truth.

Everybody lies...it is a human trait. And damn, didn't you all know that all politicians lie?

It's just a fact.

Nice equivocation, but you’re dealing with the Lord of the Lies here. Nobody has ever lied like Trump. In the history of politics. Chit, in the history of LIES!
