While responding to a “Daily Show” montage of Fox News hosts talking about the migrant caravan, “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill compared Shepard Smith, who pushed back against some of that rhetoric, to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his famous “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” speech:
"There is no invasion. No one's coming to get you. There's nothing at all to worry about."- Shep Smith (Fox "News" Anomaly)
"The only thing we have to fear is… fear itself"- Franklin D. Roosevelt@FoxNews: We Distort- YOU Decide! #VoteBlueThisTuesday ?️? https://t.co/ZpVKhuuRUc— Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) November 1, 2018
And then Shep Smith said it was OK to put caravan migrants in internment camps? Because we’re confused as to why Hamill thinks FDR is the go-to guy for how a nation treats immigrants:
FDR put Americans in internment camps, Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the federal government and was a Klan apologist
But sure, Madeleine, good talk https://t.co/dTteTVQGN5

Libs really need to stop doing this to make their point, because it’s embarrassing:
To rebuke Trump, Hillary quotes FDR, who set up literal INTERNMENT CAMPS BASED UPON RACE.

Why are you quoting FDR? Are you saying keep families together, but put them in internment camps? https://t.co/1UNbkygrFz

FDR threw Americans into internment camps and Lyndon Johnson was a racist. https://t.co/eK8g23FCZb

Leftists: Trump must be stopped, he is creating baby jails! (not true)
Also leftists: We need a president like FDR! (threw an entire race of people into internment camps). https://t.co/eU6mGojQMM pic.twitter.com/0rWJszSx2x
