Part 1: Ray is all fired up this morning….the national media has been so dishonest with the American people for so many years. Where was the outrage of separation from children from parents on the southern border in 2014 back when the policy was put into action. Ray points out some of the major issues America/Maine are facing that nobody is talking about. Ray also points out that she has been part of the majority party for most of her tenure, but our national debt has quadrupled in that time.
Part 2: Ray starts off with Homer Plessy. (Click Here for info on Homer) Susan Collins talks about settled law on all of the talk shows on Sunday in reference to abortion, well based her standard of settled law because of Roe v. Wade which has been on the books for 45 years, the Plessy case stood for 58 years before it was overturned. So there would still be separate but equal…..
Part 3: Ray states that it is really important to find out why did the media sat on the immigration/separation story from our southern border. The photo was taken 2014 and not circulated? They were protecting who was in the White House. The press is supposed to be non-biased and non-partisan. If separating kids from parents is wrong when Trump is President, then it was also wrong when Obama was President.
