Who is responsible for the border crisis?
Most people would answer Joe Biden.
Some might blame the Democrat party as a whole.
But hardly anyone would have the audacity to blame the GOP for the crisis at the border.
Yet… that’s exactly what ABC journalist did.
She was dead serious, too.
It wasn’t a joke or sarcasm.
And she revealed the thinking of the Deep State establishment.
They are so out of touch that they truly think that Joe Biden is the greatest thing ever, whereas Republicans are responsible for all of the countries troubles.
Don’t believe us?
Take a look for yourself:
ABC News’ Martha Raddatz wants you to believe that Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump are causing the borders to be open by talking about it.
She believes that if they would ignore it, as Joe Biden does, it will get fixed.

More proof journalism is dead in less than 45 seconds.
@MarthaRaddatz clearly acts as a tool for the Biden administration. https://t.co/LKJvkYfvLk@GregAbbott_TX #Border #Immigration— Joe Pags Pagliarulo (@JoeTalkShow) December 19, 2022
This really is the definition of gaslighting.
I mean, we ALL know who is truly responsible for the crisis at the border.
And it’s no one in the Republican party.
Well, this blatant piece of media bias caught Tucker Carlson’s attention.
And he couldn’t help but respond.
Watch his epic takedown below!

Of course, the mainstream media will refuse to cover Tucker Carlson’s epic takedown of Raddatz.
Fortunately, the folks at Newsbusters covered the moment:
In the over 24 hours since, Raddatz’s idiotic comments have gone viral and led to widespread mockery of the leftwing host. On Monday night, during his wildly successful primetime show Tucker Carlson Tonight, the eponymous host Tucker Carlson ripped into Raddatz and the media writ large for not taking the border crisis seriously.
“It’s completely ignored by the media. Except when they are forced to respond and they tell you to shut up and stop complaining,” Carlson noted when discussing the ongoing immigration crisis in the United States.
Setting up the clip he was about to play for his viewers, Carlson mocked Raddatz: “on ABC News, someone called Martha Raddatz argued that actually it’s people who are against immigration who are to blame for the immigration crisis because they’re talking about it and therefore advertising it to the rest of the world.”
He then played her buffoonishly dumb comment:
You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders. I don’t think I’ve ever heard President Biden say, we have an open border come on over, but people I have heard say it are you, are former President Trump, Ron DeSantis, that message reverberates in Mexico and beyond, so they do get the message that it is an open border and smugglers use all those kinds of statements.
When Carlson returned on screen his face looked both confused and disgusted at the same time.
He then said what many people want to happen in order to make the leftist elites in the media and government understand how bad the border crisis has become.
“You do fervently wish say 25,000 Haitians would move to Martha Raddatz’s neighborhood tonight. Maybe she’d give different coverage,” Carlson said.
That’s the problem with these coastal elites.
They think that these problems don’t affect them.
They might not right now – but these problems will eventually hurt all of us.
Unfortunately, the problems hurt middle class workers and families the worst.
And that’s why trust in the media is at an all time low!
Her comments generated so much interest that Fox News even had to fact check her:
ABC News’ Martha Raddatz insisted to Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, Sunday that President Biden never encouraged migrants to come to the border.
On “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Raddatz spoke with the governor ahead of former President Trump’s Title 42 border policies being set to expire on Wednesday. Texas cities, in particular, could be set to see an even bigger influx of migrants with El Paso, Texas, already declaring a state of emergency due to the border crisis.
While Abbott has frequently criticized Biden and other Democratic leaders for encouraging the border crisis, Raddatz argued that Biden himself never encouraged open borders or told migrants to “come on over.”
[…]
Though Raddatz suggested Biden never encouraged the migrant crisis, the president told migrants “you should come” while calling for a more lenient border policy during a 2019 Democratic presidential primary debate.
“They deserve to be heard. That’s who we are,” Biden said at the time. “We’re a nation that says, ‘You want to flee, and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come.'”
Since then, Biden has explicitly said “don’t come over,” though migrants speaking with ABC have stated that they came “basically” because Biden was elected president. In addition, exclusive Fox News photos have shown images of migrants wearing t-shirts reading “Biden please let us in.”
Despite this, Raddatz suggested that Republicans such as Abbott and Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., were more to blame for migrants getting the idea that the borders are open.
02 March 2021, Mexico, San Ysidro: “Biden, please let us in,” reads in English on the T-shirts of a group of migrants from different backgrounds who made their way to the “El Chaparral” international border crossing. The migrants were asking the new U.S. government for asylum. U.S. Border Patrol (CPB) agents conducted a heavier operation at the border crossing with the goal of preventing an onslaught.
So what do you think?
Was this poor judgement on Raddatz’s part?
Or is this yet ANOTHER example of rampant mainstream media bias?
