Shep Smith Tells His Audience "There Is No Invasion, No One Is Coming To Get You"

Fox News’ Shepard Smith dismissed the notion that a caravan of migrants headed to the U.S.-Mexico border were part of an “invasion,” pushing back against a term espoused by President Trump and others to describe the group.

On his show Monday, Smith said the charged language surrounding the caravan has to do with the coming midterm elections and stressed that the urgency behind the warnings is overblown. He said Fox News forecasts the migrant group is more than two months away from arriving in the U.S. as of Tuesday, adding, “if any of them actually come here.”

“But tomorrow is one week before the midterm election, which is what all of this is about,” Smith said. “There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There is nothing at all to worry about.”
