Washington Post reporter pushes back on misleading reports of border wall being knocked over by wind

Twitter users castigated President Trump after reports that part of the southern border wall was knocked over due to high winds.

"I get the urge to dunk on the border wall, but this is misleading. The panels that fell over in the wind were not anchored yet. You can clearly see that in the photo. And adjacent sections did NOT fall, likely because the concrete base had time to harden," Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff said on Twitter Thursday.

"Trump’s signature border wall fell over in Mexico from high winds a day after he boasted about the strength of his barrier," HuffPost's Twitter account said.
