IsaCNN Maybe try reporting actual facts CNN. And not some skewed version you created yourself. The bridge hasn't been opened since 2016.. the wall was built from the Colombian side.. Carol in Idaho might be sold on your propaganda, but the rest of the world is laughing

IsaCNN CNN should lose its broadcasting license for this fabrication

IsaCNN Nice reporting, idiots

TFMetals IsaCNN Fake News again.

IsaCNN Weapons not aid.... If US really cares about the people, just lift the many sanctions the US has imposed on Venezuela.

IsaCNN Really pathetic not able to see who is worst, the Anchor in the Studio or the Journalist on the field. Both true ignorant goners. The bridge they showed, was built back in 2015 and has never been used. The Journalist is on a completely different bridge, the only one in that area.

IsaCNN Bribe .. not AID

IsaCNN

IsaCNN They're not in needs of humanitarian aids, POTUS do not pretend to be the firemen after being the arsonists in the first place.

IsaCNN It will take US Combat Engineers about 12 minutes to negotiate that.....

IsaCNN One more time, this is the last time I will explain it to your group of dummy’s at CNN. Moduro is not the President. Please ask Marco Rubio if you need more assistance in doing your job.

IsaCNN Or to stop people leaving.

IsaCNN So now this guy is stopping humanitarian supplies getting to his people! What a fine example of a President he is. Power to the people.

IsaCNN So much for Socialism.

IsaCNN Don't be surprised when a Socialist system is controlling the redistribution of subsidies.

IsaCNN Is all of this due to Socialism or is it due to a person cheating his people? And why is everyone in America suddenly scared of Socialism? Is someone trying to destroy Capitalism or are they trying to implement some social ideas into Capitalism?

IsaCNN Yeah, too bad the only person you got to answer, blames us. lol. Junk reporting.
