Journalists have joined Venezuela officials in ridiculing allegations made on Tuesday by US Vice President Mike Pence that Venezuela is financing the migrant caravan traversing Central America en route to the Mexican-US border.

Keelan attempted to dispel many of the popular conspiracy theories as we attempted to understand how such an extreme and horrific act could be committed.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen revealed that 10,000 out of 12,000 children who are being cared for by the HHS were sent alone to the US by their parents, and that is when they were separated. Politicians are conflating the numbers together to make it seem as though Trump is responsible for tearing apart thousands of families, while the media stirs up emotions. [...]
