Trump Shut Up About the Caravan After the Election. Fox News Can't Seem to Let It Go.

The RNC, Infowars, and the president all moved on right after voters had been scared to the polls.

Following the 2018 midterm elections, the migrant caravan—the one President Trump and the Republican Party insisted was a grave national-security crisis—has largely disappeared from GOP messaging. Trump has almost completely stopped talking about it in public, as have the Trumpist conspiracy theorists at Infowars.

The president’s allies at conservative cable-news giant Fox News, however, don’t seem to have gotten the memo.

A survey of recent transcripts recorded on the TV monitoring service TVEyes shows Fox News running at least 30 segments mentioning the caravan in the week since the midterm elections.

Leading Fox News personalities seemed self-aware of the suggestions during the election that concern about the caravan would end along with the need to scare voters to the polls.

“The Central American migrant caravan is still snaking towards to the U.S. border,” Brian Kilmeade, a co-host on one of Trump’s all-time favorite shows, Fox & Friends, said on Friday. “Now President Trump is responding to its approach by tightening U.S. asylum laws.”
