Trump was misleading the country about wall and crime in El Paso before the State of the Union. He made a similar misstatement on Jan 14. Fact checks were written. He still used that false statement on Tuesday. https://t.co/h8sPkb99EP

El Paso Sheriff Richard Wiles to NBC: "It is sad to hear Pres. Trump state falsehoods about El Paso, Texas in an attempt to justify the building of a 2,000 mile wall … El Paso was a safe city long before a wall was built. Pres. Trump continues to give a false narrative." @MSNBC
