Fox News' Neil Cavuto Plays Trump's Wall Lies To Viewers
After Trump told the press early Thursday morning that he didn't mean Mexico would actually pay for his border wall during the presidential campaign, Fox News' Cavuto played multiple times where Trump bragged over and over again about Mexico paying for the wall.
As Your World With Neil Cavuto began, Trump was holding another press PR press gaggle with Ted Cruz that bled into the beginning of his program. Fox News' Casey Stegall piped in with a report and then it was Neil's turn.
Cavuto said, "[Trump] just said something a few minutes ago that startled a lot of people. Listen to this."
Trump: "Mexico's going pay for the wall? You think they're going to write a check for 20 billion, $10 billion, 5 billion or 2 cents, no. They're paying for the wall in a great trade deal."
This was a new lie from Trump that he said earlier today and continued with that even startled Cavuto.
Cavuto remarked, "All right, this is an Abbott and Costello thing (and in a high pitched voice continued) but that is not exactly what you said - in the past."
He then played a compilation of Trump's comedy routine:
We will build the wall and Mexico will pay for the wall.
And Mexico will pay for the wall.
i will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.
We will build the wall and who is going to pay for the wall?
Crowd: Mexico!
