CBS Shock: Network Remembers When Obama, Hillary Supported Barriers on the Border

[See NewsBusters for more.] Since the shutdown started, the general media tone has been something like this: Unreasonable Republicans are “digging in” as Democrats try and find a solution. But CBS This Morning did something different on Thursday. Reporter Tony Dokoupil actually went back into the past and found that high profile Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, supported placing big barriers on the southern border back in 2006. Dokoupil explained how Democrats have flipped on this issue: “Signed by President Bush and supported by 90 Democratic members of Congress, it included funding for two layers of reinforced fencing plus additional physical barriers along roughly 700 miles of border from California to Texas.”
