Again, it seems that Shepard Smith of Fox News is trying to get fired, commenting that the only reason troops are being sent to the border is because of the mid-term elections.
He has moments of honesty. Maybe he wants to be a real journalist, unlike Hannity and Ingram, et al.
I think that there may be something in what he is saying, after all the caravan of people will not get to the border until two months time.
