Ana Kasparian of the far-left “Young Turks” streaming network ripped the “mainstream media” in an interview with conservative media mogul Glenn Beck, accusing legacy outlets of “lying” about the migrant crisis that began during the Biden-Harris administration.

Kasparian, a committed progressive, stated that Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to bus migrants to Democratic-majority cities and the resulting impact on local politics made her realize she had been misled by media outlets that had downplayed the severity of the country’s immigration issues.

“I can definitely be honest about my own flaws and my own mistakes because I bought the mainstream media narrative that there wasn’t a migrant crisis,” Kasparian told Beck. “And yeah, I did believe it. I believed because, look, I was an idiot because, I mean, Who do you trust in today’s media landscape?”

Kasparian, who has been critical of Democrats before and after Vice President Kamala Harris’ blowout loss to President-elect Donald Trump, added that there are many “liars” out there in the media world.

“There’s a lot of liars out there. When it comes to mainstream media, the fact of the matter is they do play defense more and more for the Democratic Party,” she said. “And that’s an issue because there was a time when that didn’t happen. And so I still believed in their good faith reporting, even though it turns out, you know, a lot of these reports would omit really important details about what’s really going on.

“And so it wasn’t until Texas Governor Greg Abbott started busing or sending migrants to blue cities where that woke me up, that woke a lot of people up. And suddenly America realizes, there is a migrant crisis,” she said.

After Beck asked her about what exactly led to her realization about the migrant situation, Kasparian responded: “Well because all of a sudden you’re seeing migrants sleeping on the floor in the police department in Chicago because they don’t have shelter for these people.”

Kasparian shared that she often watches local city council meetings from various cities to get a sense of the public mood. She told Beck that witnessing the rise of anti-immigration sentiment in Chicago was particularly eye-opening for her.

In addition, she told Beck that she was confident Trump would win the election.

“And so on election night, I wasn’t surprised at all. I knew what was coming. I totally knew it was coming. I knew that Cook County was going to swing. I think it’s about eight percentage points toward Republicans. I knew LA County and this is what I was surprised about,” she said.

“I did not expect Donald Trump to flip ten counties in California from blue to red. But I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised about that, either. Because when you look at the conditions that people are living in, in a Democrat-controlled state, well, yeah, you can understand why people are turning their backs on the Democratic Party,” the lefty host noted, adding that she believes California Democrats have been exposed as immigration “grifters.”

WATCH:

The incoming Trump administration is reportedly developing a strategy to deport illegal migrants from the United States, even if their home countries refuse to accept them.

NBC News reported last week that once President-elect Donald Trump takes office, countries unwilling to accept migrants who have an immigration judge’s deportation order may relocate them to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Grenada, Panama, or other destinations.

Although the transition team has not yet confirmed the plan, it could significantly advance Trump’s pledge to implement the largest deportation initiative in U.S. history.
