PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez had an eventful Monday show. Within the span of two minutes, she managed to omit that a recently deported visa holder admitted to attending Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's funeral and interviewed Law Professor Kim Wehle, who suggested Trump’s immigration policies writ large should merit a third impeachment.
Barron-Lopez was reporting on Dr. Rasha Alawieh when she reported, “She’s a kidney transplant at Brown University, an H-1B visa holder from Lebanon, and she was deported last week when returning from visiting family. Now, prosecutors allege she had quote, ‘sympathetic photos of Hezbollah leaders’ and I spoke to Dr. George Bayliss who works with Dr. Alawieh in the kidney transplant department and he said that her deportation has disrupted the clinic and he fears what this could mean for other immigrant doctors as well as that pipeline of immigrant doctors who come to train in the U.S.”
Not only did Barron-Lopez leave out the fact that Alawiegh attended Nasrallah’s funeral, she also left out that she also had photos of Iran’s supreme leader.
