MSNBC The Weekend co-host Jonathan Capehart denounces the Trump administration for keeping people "in cages" at Alligator Alcatraz, ignoring that Obama/Biden did the same thing to children, and Biden defended it. Co-host Eugene Daniels falsely claims that Trump "talks openly about revoking citizenship for people he just doesn't like."

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish says that David Huerta, the president of the SEIU union's California branch, was arrested for "rallying" anti-ICE protesters. The allegation is that Huerta blocked ICE from entering an establishment accused of hiring illegal aliens, and pushed an ICE officer who tried to remove him. A former federal prosecutor suggests that the arrest of Huerta…

It was an iconic moment in the annals of the liberal media being called out in real time over its transparent bias. Kudos to Brad Todd for tearing off Jim Sciutto's fig leaf [an unenviable task!] and revealing him as the liberal activist he is. On today's CNN This Morning, Sciutto, subbing for Kasie Hunt, persistently argued with Todd over the Justice Department's order to New York's Southern…
