THE OFFENSE
Axios’ Zachary Basu and Russell Contreras published an article claiming, “Guardrails against racist, xenophobic or dehumanizing rhetoric have all but vanished on the American right.” Zach and Russell’s article also claimed “The administration has gutted major pillars of America’s civil rights protections and racial equity infrastructure, wiping away public data, slashing research funding, and recasting Black history.”
THE TRUTH
Zachary Basu and Russell Contreras are flailing. This race-baiting article was published to inflame racial tensions, and tries to (unsuccessfully) paint President Trump as racist. The Trump Administration will continue to uproot leftist lunacy and bigoted race politics from our country, and replace them with honesty, transparency, and truth.
KEY POINTS
• Axios Zachary Basu and Russell Contreras published a race baiting article in a pitiful attempt to undermine President Trump.

THE OFFENSE
Axios published an article that attempted to portray TPS recipients as “legal.”
THE TRUTH
The previous administration allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood the southern border, and enabled them to stay under the guise of temporary protected status. TPS was never meant to grant de-facto amnesty. By claiming that aliens who are in the country under TPS are “legal” Axios is misrepresenting these aliens’ immigration status.
KEY POINTS
• Axios published a story claiming aliens in the country under temporary protected status are here “legally” which is a deliberate misrepresentation.

• Trump's new wall: His push to oust immigrants legally in the U.S.
