CBS deletes a "fact check" proving Trump was wrong

CBS "News" deleted what they laughingly referred to as a "fact check" of one of President Trump's claims during his national Oval Office address on Tuesday. This came after it showed that the president underestimated the number of women who are sexually assaulted traveling to the southern border.  (HT Daily Wire)

"Women and children are the biggest victims by far of our broken system," Trump said about the explosion of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. "One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico."

Trump's numbers were clearly way off.

CBS ran a live "fact check" of Trump's speech, and posted this:

Fact check: 1 in 3 women sexually assaulted while traveling to cross the border. 

CLAIM: The president claimed one in three women have been sexually assaulted traveling to the border. 

FACT: Between 60 percent and 80 percent of female migrants traveling through Mexico are raped along the way, Amnesty International estimates.

That's right, Trump said two out of three women are sexually assaulted crossing the border, but the real number is more like two out of three, and up to eight out of ten women are sexually assaulted.

CBS realized their gift of truth to the President and quickly deleted it. This is what fake news looks like and it should concern anyone looking to prevent the United States from becoming a third world country.

Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
