To Zing Trump, Reporter Imagines Out Loud that Tulsa's Next to Mexico
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/15/2020 9:18:45 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Monday's Morning Joe robotically turned to the predictable talking point of trying to suggest Trump's Tulsa rally is a dangerous public health risk. Robert Costa of The Washington Post, PBS, and MSNBC hilariously suggested that Tulsa is somehow near the Mexican border to zing Trump.

Costa really should have looked at Google Maps first. Tulsa is separated from Mexico by three-quarters of Oklahoma and all of Texas. The closest Mexican town of any size, Ciudad Acuna, is 641 miles away from Tulsa. Nuevo Laredo is 686 miles away.

If Tulsa is "around" the Mexican border, then New Hampshire is "around" the South! Google Maps says the distance from Nashua, New Hampshire to the border of North Carolina (at Roanoke Rapids) is 649 miles.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Most reporters today are educationally deficient and lack fundamental knowledge.

Sounds just like a European business guest who was in Detroit and asked a colleague if they could go to Disney World on Saturday. No concept of geography

Oklahoma is right next to New Mexico at the tip of the panhandle. Some idiots still think New Mexico is part of Mexico.

I love hearing Europeans making absurd suggestions about things like that. They have no idea how large this country is.

Looks like Costa hit the propaganda trifecta.

Absolutely none, yet they have a completely superior attitude about all of us stupid American cowboys.

I worked for a Swiss company for 18 years. They were the worst. No, the French were worse.

I developed an application that was used to up-armor Humvees bound for Iraq. We used a company product that was made in France. We decided to refuse to tell them what the application was because we figured they would delay shipments to us cause they hated America.

The Trump rally is dangerous to biden’s election possibilities. That’s why the left is condemning the rally. The same left that encouraged the riots with burning/stealing/assaulting/killing.
