As @PressSec repeated the lie that “Democrats want open borders,” I called out “that’s not true!”

She ignored me and kept on lying.

1. WH press need to keep calling out

Sarah The Liar. Better yet, don't even show up at her briefings.

[peggysue2]

8. We all need to push back against the lie because . . .

it's a whopper and obviously chosen to pretend that there are only 2 choices: the Trumpster way or wide open borders.

The Trumpster has been using it, now Sarah 3-names and I suspect we'll be hearing more supporters touting the false charge: The Democratic Party supports wide-open borders, free-for-all immigration policies.

That's a Pants-on-Fire Lie but it ties into their sick rhetoric: we're being invaded, infested, etc. It also takes the spotlight off their inhumane treatment of and attitudes toward babies and kids.

[GetRidOfThem]

19. Problem is...

...that I know a very educated, intelligent Democrat who has voiced exactly that sentiment. Open borders between all countries.

Think about it... What if we allowed natural migration for non-criminals?

(sorry - I am in internationalist, so I kind of, in idealistic terms, share the sentiment...)

[peggysue2]

24. The vast majority of Dems and Americans do not . . .

hold that view. We're a sovereign nation and as such need border control. In an ideal world, open borders could work. But we don't live in that world.

However, a fair, humane and sensible immigration program is possible and necessary to prevent the debacle we're seeing now. There have been a number of proposals over the years but Congress has refused to move on anything.

My point is pretty simple: if we don't define ourselves on this issue, the Republicans will do it for us, painting all Dems as open-border proponents and against basic law & order, the whole gang motif.

It's already started.

[GetRidOfThem]

37. Agreed. n/t

[Volaris]

31. Yep they should all just walk the fuck out and not go back.

She can go on camera to deliver the propaganda and talking points, they can watch from their office. Then they can prep a piece that fact checks all her bullshit and publish it as a group effort in all of their respective papers/media the next day.
Fuck these people if they want to piss on the Free Press.

[Qutzupalotl]

2. Try saying "You lie!"

[mitch96]

7. THAT would be poetic justice....

AND if MSM picked it up and put the two "you lie" clips next to each other....
I can dream can't I?

4. Let's have MORE shouting back at WH press conferences.

LOTS more. Enough of the steady stream of overt lying.

[flibbitygiblets]

10. Then they'll start picking who can and can't attend the pressers. THEN things are going to get ugly

However I still think it needs to happen. Or at the least, coordinate with each other. I.e., when she says something untrue such as this, have the next reporter call her on it rather than change the subject and move on.

[Paladin]

14. Things are pretty fucking ugly, here and now.

Just because you're offered a steady diet of shit sandwiches, doesn't mean you have to eat them. Your co-ordination idea has merit.

[Volaris]

32. The press corp should start publishing a joint column, as a collective effort

And let it be published in all of their respective papers/media.

As a kind of 'dont fuck with us' statement.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

30. Who cares.

At least they went down w a fight. Can't stand those pressers anyway. Let's have more dt appearing before the press.

6. Filthy LIAR.. I wouldn't want her eating in my

restaurant, either.

9. Democrats PASSED VETOPROOF COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION IN 2013.

12. just saying...

https://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/immigration-bill-2013-senate-passes-093530


in 2013...

The Senate on Thursday passed the most monumental overhaul of U.S. immigration laws in a generation, which would clear the way for millions of undocumented residents to have a chance at citizenship, attract workers from all over the world and devote unprecedented resources for security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The vote was 68-32. Fourteen Republicans crossed the aisle to vote with all Democrats in favor. Thursday’s vote now puts the onus of immigration reform on the Republican-led House, where leaders have been resistant to the Senate legislation.

Republicans blocked it...
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/why-immigration-reform-died-congress-n145276

no reasonable person can say that immigration’s death -- in 2013 and 2014 -- is anyone’s fault but House Republicans. Still, we also understand why they killed it: They saw no short-term benefit.

[Cha]

35. Thank you, handmade, for

the details.

[DemocracyMouse]

36. OK: Democrats PASSED a border control measure in 2013. REPUBLICANS KILLED IT. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat

Journalists:

For EVERY major issue, please keep a notebook, paper or digital, with short single-sentence facts like the above to throw at the camera and the clueless, lying Republicans. Every time. And don't hesitate to repeat it. Get with the information age please. I'm not a journalist, but I practice the above in the streets and it WORKS.

[LakeArenal]

20. !!!👌🏻👍🏻🤝👊🏻

[gay texan]

11. Hey mainstream media

Has it become apparent that there were much more bigger issues to report on than Hillary's emails?

[BlueJac]

13. call them out!!!

[bdamomma]

15. Thank you Mr Feinberg

we need more of that get your fellow reporters to come out swinging our democracy needs it more than ever.

[Scurrilous]

16. K&R

[elias7]

17. Why does the press Corp even show up?

Why not boycott en masse?

[0rganism]

18. well, what did he expect to happen?

seriously. lying is how they operate. they lie, then call the press liars and fakes. having an outburst in the presser is NOT going to change that.

anyone with the misfortune to be on that beat should know that much by now.

[lpbk2713]

21. It's good to hear she's being called on it.

WH press briefings are just propaganda sessions.
Why do they even go through the motions?

[SCVDem]

22. Every paper should start a column.

Title it.

TODAY'S LIES FROM THE SWAMP!

[Volaris]

33. It should be a joint column and a collective effort by the entire corps.

[Rebl2]

23. He should

have yelled as loud as possible YOU LIE and kept yelling it every time she lied.

[gibraltar72]

25. But always treating everyone with respect.

[OilemFirchen]

26. Best epitaph ever:

"She ignored me and kept on lying."

[Honeycombe8]

27. Good for him! Of course that's not true.

Some people don't want a border, but most do.

[unblock]

28. And the media will continue to give coverage to those lies

They lie even when called out on it because they are never punished for it.

The media knows how to deny media attention to ordinary people and democrats who lie, but for some reason they give republicans and infinite pass.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

29. This is how they turn the grapes to wine..

Open borders are NOT Democrat Platform Plank.

[paleotn]

34. Out on your arse!

You fucking liar!!!
