WTF? How is this not being reported on all rival stations? This scam should be illegal. This is no “misspoke” or “uninformed utterance”. This is a total bald faced lie being pushed out on the most gullible viewers in the country. This is dangerous & contributes to divisions that shouldn’t exist.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."
