The media is getting desperate. Democrats are losing the public relations battle. Hillary's campaign is sinking and they're trying desperately to get Joe Biden and Elisabeth Warren to get into the run for president. Meanwhile, they're making up stuff about the Republican candidates. The latest is this false accusation that Dr Ben Carson called for drone strikes on illegal Democrats crossing the border. Of course it was a lie, and Dr Carson addressed it. Last week was their attempt to throw out the race card by accusing Republicans of using the supposed deragatory term "Anchor Babies".
Heck, the left won't call our own unborn children babies, but they insist that we call illegals' kids "just babies". Dr Carson addressed this as well, calling it a distraction.

During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Ben Carson scolded members of the media for distorting his views on illegal immigration. Speaking to fill-in host Jim Acosta, the Republican presidential candidate argued that “[a]t some point I hope we have some responsible media which actually focuses on the problem.”
Carson’s comments came in response to Acosta misinterpreting his views on immigration, specifically through the use of drones to monitor the U.S./Mexico border:
The renounced neurosurgeon stressed he was “quite clear" what he meant about the use of drones used to monitor the southern border:
Carson went one step further and told Acosta that when he initially made those comments he knew the media would distort his views on immigration:

Carson’s comments came in response to Acosta misinterpreting his views on immigration, specifically through the use of drones to monitor the U.S./Mexico border:
You said that the United States should consider using drone strikes to secure the border with Mexico. What did you mean by that? Obviously, drones are used now for surveillance along the border. Are you talking about taking drone strikes at the U.S./Mexico border?
The renounced neurosurgeon stressed he was “quite clear" what he meant about the use of drones used to monitor the southern border:
I said that drones are excellent for surveillance. You know, along that border, we have miles and miles of fences, and, you know, I went there last week and didn't see any border patrol people, and those fences are so easy to scale. It’s almost like not having a fence there.
Carson went one step further and told Acosta that when he initially made those comments he knew the media would distort his views on immigration:
So drones can help with the surveillance,and no way did I suggest that drones be used to kill people. And I said that to the media at the time. I said you guys, some of you are going to go out and say Carson wants to use drones to kill people on the borders. How ridiculous. At some point I hope we have some responsible media which actually focuses on the problem.
