Republican Kevin McCarthy accuses Joe Biden and Democrats of spreading “misinformation” in a new video in regards to the border crisis.
Biden recently placed heavy criticism on Facebook for allegedly allowing “misinformation” on the platform about the vaccine. Biden went to the extent of accusing Facebook of “killing people,” but later walked back these comments. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and others in the company have made donations in support of Democrats.
Now McCarthy has turned the table.
“When it comes to the #BidenBorderCrisis, Democrats have been spreading misinformation,” McCarthy tweeted.
“The border crisis is getting worse, and that’s a fact,” he said.

At the end of the video, it reads “When it comes to the Biden Border Crisis, Democrats are only spreading misinformation.”
From Western Journal:
The video included a montage of Democratic leaders making statements about the nation’s southern border.
In one clip, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “The Biden administration has this under control.”
The video then transitioned to MSNBC reporting, “U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it apprehended more than 188,000 migrants crossing the southern border in June.”
A Fox News video included in the article stated illegal immigration was up “more than 156 percent.”
Still another report said immigration is “at a 21-year high.”
Illegal immigration continues to surge as Customs and Border Protection reports the largest influx in immigrants in 20 years.
In June alone, CBP encountered 188,000 immigrants. For perspective – that's nearly the population of Little Rock, AR. #BidenBorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/BTMcYGxWf3
