January 1 FALSE: Correspondent Molly Line suggested that in the past, Democrats supported a border wall similar to the one President Donald Trump was proposing.
TIANA LOWE (WASHINGTON EXAMINER WRITER): I think that if Trump is actually able to get a deal, if he’s able to bring back some sort of Gang of Eight?style legislation that, mind you, 68% - or 68 senators voted on in 2013 just ?ve years ago. Democrats, including [Sen.] Chuck Schumer, promised that they would add another $4.5 billion to border security and another 700 miles of fencing along the southern border. So if Trump is also able to play politics and sort of shove that legislation back in their faces, promising immedi?ate amnesty for [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] recipients, he could get something done. Because otherwise it’s clear the Democrats aren’t going to budge.MOLLY LINE (CORRESPONDENT): Yes, that’s the sort of information that Republicans have kind of made their mantra, to say, hey Democrats, you’ve supported this in the past, and it seems to be the difference now, of course, they argue, is that the president is there in the Oval O?ce. [Fox News, America’s News HQ , 1/1/19 ] FACT: Fact?checkers have debunked comparisons between what Democrats supported and Trump’s demands. A January 2019 PolitiFact article fact?checked an argument from Trump that Democrats “changed their mind” on a border wall “only after I was elected president,” declaring it “mostly false.” According to the article, Trump’s state?ment involved a “a mischaracterization of the barrier that won Democratic support 13 years ago.” PolitiFact added that nearly all of the authorized fencing was completed by 2015 and explained: “Democrats have not changed their stance on the border fencing they previously supported; they simply don’t support the more ambitious wall Trump proposes.” [PolitiFact, 1/9/19 ]
