Never Let the Facts Get in the Way

Fox News host and Donald Trump cheerleader Maria Bartiromo isn’t going to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Bartiromo said that Democrats were registering immigrants to vote at several sites in Fort Worth and Weatherford, Texas.

A interesting story, which helps push the Fox News narrative and help the struggling Trump.

There is just one small problem.

Bartiromo’s statement was “simply false,” according to Sgt. William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Contrary to Bartiromo’s friend’s wife’s account, there is no office for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles in Weatherford. Folks there get their licenses at a DPS Driver License office.

Still, no such tent and table were set up outside the office last week.

“None of it is true,” Lockridge said, adding that the assumption that non-white Texans lined up to get their driver licenses are immigrants or illegal is “kind of racist.”

I don’t think Bartiromo cares about if the story is correct, she just wants to push the narrative.
