Chuck Todd: Why Can’t the News Media and the American Public See the Border Conditions

‘Is there a gag order?’

EXCERPT:

TODD: "I want to put up a tweet from — you visited the border yesterday, I believe it was in El Paso with a bipartisan group of senators, including senator Chris Murphy, Democrat from Connecticut, and this is what he tweeted: 'I fought back tears as a 13-year-old sobbed uncontrollably, explaining through a translator how terrified she was having been separated from her grandmother and without her parents.' But he also said he saw overcrowded facility and, frankly, I guess my question is, why can he see it and not the American public and certainly not the news media?"
