New from me: NBC News misrepresented an internal memo that was meant to brief DHS officials on the Rittenhouse case.
I've seen the memo and NBC News left out key context that shows the "sympathetic" talking points were not actually talking points: townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
There are two parts to the memo, "Situation" and "Response." This distinction was not made in NBC News' story. It's important because the "sympathetic" talking points were underneath the "Situation" section. The "Response" section told officials to give a no comment.
The "Situation," or background information, is "not meant to be talking points," a senior official with direct knowledge told Townhall.
As someone who saw the second half of the shooting in Kenosha, it’s been frustrating to see the misinformation that has been spread by people who were not there.
A reminder of what I recorded that night:

🚨On the ground at UCLA for @theblaze, as I’m now their new national correspondent: LAPD is now inside the encampment on campus. Protesters moved back but are standing their ground.
Anti-Israel protesters inside the encampment at UCLA lined up with shields to face LAPD officers.
🚨: LAPD officers withdrew from inside the UCLA encampment. Protesters followed them very closely and scuffles broke out. Protesters broke out in celebration once the officers left. Very intense situation.
🧵: A brutal Venezuelan gang beat up cops in NYC, is connected to the Laken Riley case, and the US government allowed them into the country.
Victims of Tren de Aragua explained to me how the gang operates and what needs to happen to stop them.
All of the Venezuelans who we interviewed wanted to remain anonymous. A few others wanted to be interviewed but backed out because they were too scared to say anything, highlighting how much power Tren de Aragua has in the US and Venezuela.
Tren de Aragua is very much connected to the Nicolás Maduro regime, despite actions by the government to indicate otherwise, according to people we interviewed. TDA works as enforcers for the regime, in addition to controlling much of the criminal underworld in Latin America.
On the ground in Eagle Pass, TX. This is a small example of the many debris fields along the US side of the Rio Grande. Illegal immigrants dump their wet clothes and change into a new set after wading across the river.
Meanwhile, groups of illegal immigrants continue to enter into Eagle Pass, resulting in long lines to wait to be processed. This is by far the worst I’ve seen the area.
