“The southern border will be directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun for nearly four minutes.” The eclipse, co-anchor Bill Hemmer then added, represents “a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”

This is how stupid Fox News knows their audience to be.

Cartels: "we have four minutes, guys, we've been planning since 2017 for this, get ready!"

FOX NEWS ALERT: Rotation of the earth creates HOURS LONG windows of DARKNESS that allow EVIL MIGRANTS to SMUGGLE DRUGS. Liberal CONSPIRACY called "heliocentrism" to blame.

NEXT UP: Copernicus: Evil woke liberal who fought the catholic church and "proved" the theory that allows migrants to cross the border undetected

Yeah but the 9-12 hours of darkness at night is different, those four minutes were completely unexpected by anyone without access to internet or common sense.

It's Critical Centrism Theory, and they're trying to teach it to your kids!

I genuinely thought you were joking but no, that was a real quote.

Imagine if there was a ten hour period every day when you could "smuggle". The world would be a horrible place. Wait the world is a horrible place but not because of that.

This is how stupid Fox News knows their audience to be.

It's just the "smart" Republicans watching now, isn't it? Didn't the stupidest ones go over to Newsmax and OANN?
