Right-Wing Media Blames Bridge Collapse on ‘Open Border’ and COVID Lockdowns​

Right-Wing Media Blames Bridge Collapse on âOpen Borderâ

While Fox’s Maria Bartiromo tried linking the disaster to border policies, Matt Schlapp suggested it had something to do with post-COVID labor policy.

It could reasonably be blamed on the border crisis and the 11+ Million additional illegals in the country draining resources and consuming costs that could have gone to infrastructure and other things, legitimate uses of the money. Now click your little laugh icon like a good little mindless leftist who refuses to see any truths.

What a pathetic attitude. That is really sinking to a new low, but I'm not surprised.

How would bailing out 1. a business - the ship's actual owner - whose business is incorporated in Pakistan, or 2. another business - the ship's operator - whose business is based in Singapore to fix problems with their ship and/or its operation, be "legitimate uses of the (American) money" ?

Because that is what appears to be the issue here.

Not border policy, not labor policy ... nor anything else demented retards on rightwing media dredge out of their fever swamps.

Like I've said before....
I'm utterly amazed how badly some, what otherwise would be called intelligent people, have fallen down the pie hole of right wing nimrods.

From now on when they talk about this incident, it will be about how much the bridge is going to cost the taxpayers, and no mention of the people who died while working on the bridge, because they were all immigrants.

The ship owners and insurance company should be paying 100%. That has nothing to do with my comment. And I won't bother explaining again to those incapable of sensible thought processes and understanding.

After taking time to watch the actual Bartiromo interview, it's obvious this headline isn't just misleading - it's downright false. Of course we shouldn't be surprised by something like this from The Daily Beast. At no point does she try to "blame" or even link the bridge accident to open borders or covid lockdowns. The point is clearly made that an experienced harbor pilot was at the helm when the accident occurred. At 2:30 into the interview Bartiromo switches subjects to discuss world affairs with Scott and brings up open borders.

Of course the author Baragona has to add the following baseless assertion from out of nowhere:

"A once-respected business reporter who has transformed into a MAGA-pilled conspiracy theorist in recent years, Bartiromo continued to tie immigration to the bridge disaster."

This is not only nonsense, it's a flat-out lie. There's also nothing in the other two TV interviews that remotely link open borders and covid with the bridge collapse. But the gullible Left will take red meat headlines like this and swallow them whole without even thinking about the content.

Good to know.

In the meantime, you can count on the fact that our Chief Executive - a decent man - and his highly competent Secretary of Transportation will meet this tragedy and deal with the crisis effectively in a head on manner.

And, thankfully, there will be no crazy talk of "injecting disinfectants" or "bringing light inside the body" to repair the bridge ...

And I won't bother explaining again to those incapable of sensible thought processes and understanding.

Well praise be for small favors !

Good catch. Fake News stepping on a rake, AGAIN.
