Trump shut down the government over a manufactured crisis at the border. The Trump administration has continued to lie and spread misleading data to try and justify why they are keeping hundreds of thousands of workers from getting their paychecks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sarah Sanders was fact checked on Fox News Sunday for citing misleading data to falsely claim that terrorists are crossing the southern border.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sarah Sanders<\/a>: \u201cWe know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fox News\u2019 Chris Wallace<\/a>: \u201cBut they\u2019re not coming across the southern border, Sarah, they\u2019re coming and they\u2019re being stopped at airports.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Trump administration has repeatedly lied and cited misleading information to continue Trump\u2019s manufactured crisis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cThe numbers they are citing in televised remarks and submitting in writing to members of Congress are being spun pretty heavily.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cOnce again, Trump mangles an official statistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AP FACT CHECK<\/a>: \u201cTrump\u2019s false claim about drug smuggling\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThis number is highly misleading and fits a pattern of statements by the administration that have sought to tie immigration on the US-Mexico border to Islamic terror.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe way this number is presented appears to be misleading.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
