Do you think that the message from the media is correct, that your administration is separating parents, moms and kids? Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked.
It is completely false, Gidley replied.
-------------
Um, holy crap, thats a glaring lie. There is clear evidence from the DHS that nearly 2000 children have been separated from their families at the border in six weeks time as a direct result of the zero tolerance policy instated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Despite Trumps attempts to blame the other party for the policy in an effort to draw out immigration concessions, separating families at the border has nothing to do with Democrats.

You know that Fox viewers the land over are going to believe this complete bollocks? Right? And they are going to repeat this ad infinitum until it becomes 'fact'....

George Orwell, "1984"
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.
