MSNBC guest Maria Teresa Kumar, President of Voto Latino Foundation, came out defending illegal aliens who were arrested for heinous crimes on Monday, suggesting that the White House is lying about their rap sheets, as she urged reporters to hide the mugshots.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the White House trolled the illegal alien criminals they’ve arrested by showcasing their mugshots on the front lawn where news correspondents do live shots this morning.
Members of the media were hit in the face this morning upon arriving at the White House, where the photos of 100 violent criminal aliens dotted the lawn, exposing their crimes and showing exactly who Democrats and their liberal media cohorts are trying to protect. The individuals were arrested for heinous crimes such as murder, rape, and various sex crimes against children.
However, some in the media were appalled over the White House’s moxie in refusing to hide the identities of these rapists and killers.
Jonathan Lemire, while hosting Morning Joe today, appeared outraged by the scene at the White House, noting that “if you’re doing a hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you.”
Maria Teresa Kumar expressed similar outrage, saying, “we don’t know if they’ve had due process” and drawing comparisons to Kilmar Garcia Abrego, a deported Salvadoran MS-13 member whom the leftist media has fawned over and lied about. She then pushed the hoax that President Trump used a doctored image to lie about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s gang affiliation, despite evidence from previous arrests showing that he is an active member of MS-13.
“We don’t know if, in fact, these individuals do have a rap sheet, so I would encourage those individuals that have that as a back shot to blur those people out,” Kumar continued, pretending to care about honest reporting and claiming the press is “absolutely under attack.”
“The job of journalism is to ensure that we are presenting the facts [and] that we are cross-referencing,” she added. “Our job is always to have our true north, to make sure that we’re presenting balanced news.”
Since when do these people, who constantly push hoaxes about conservatives and lie about critical issues in America, care about accuracy?
“Well said,” Lemire told Kumar in complete agreement with her assessment that reporters should hide the faces of public safety threats. “Again, the focus here is doing the work, doing it well.”
The media truly is the enemy of the people.
WATCH:
Lemire: Before we let you go, we want to get your reaction to something that just occurred. The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes. You can see them there. They put them up on the driveway of the White House. If you look here, that’s the West Wing just at the forefront, the executive mansion itself to the left.
But what’s particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn. So, therefore, no matter what network you’re on, that includes MSNBC, if you’re doing a hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you. The White House is doing a briefing in about a half hour about what they’re doing here. Maria, your response to this image?
Kumar: I have to say, one of the biggest challenges that we have with the deportations that we know of so far, for example, with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, we don’t know if they’ve had due process. We don’t know if, in fact, these individuals do have a rap sheet, so I would encourage those individuals that have that as a back shot to blur those people out. The job of journalism is to ensure that we are presenting the facts that we are cross-referencing. We know that PolyFact actually checked the Trump administration because of an earlier picture that they released on Kilmar, recognizing that it was altered, that it was false, that they placed gang signs, gang hit signs, tattoos on him that weren’t real. And so I would really— the press right now, we are absolutely under attack.
Our job is always to have our true north, to make sure that we’re presenting balanced news, and making sure that we are not putting folks that are potentially in danger. And having that representation of those pictures in the background, we can’t allow that to— for us to carry the water of potentially innocent people. So, I would encourage; I recognize live shots are tough, but I would encourage folks to actually make sure that those shots are blurred to the best of your abilities. We know better.
