LOL! New York Times Reporters Jaw DROPS After Trump Supporter Family Says They'd Pick the Border Wall over Keeping their Home...

An Ohio resident who voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 surprised then-New York Times reporter Yamiche Alcindor last year when she said she would rather have a wall on the U.S. southern border than receive support from a federal government program that helped repair her home, according to a recently aired clip of the exchange.



Alcindor, now a reporter for PBS, last year visited a family in Trumbull County, Ohio that benefited from the congressionally-funded HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which helps low-income families repair their homes.



While Alcindor reported on her experience in April 2017, Showtimes' documentary series "The Fourth Estate" aired footage of her visit this past weekend. The series focuses on how the Times is reporting the news during the Trump presidency.



"I'm going to talk to a couple that voted for Trump about the repairs that were done to their home through a program that the Trump administration wants to eliminate," Alcindor said in a voice-over as she drove to the home of Tammy and Joseph Pavlic—44 and 42, respectively.



The Pavlics appear to be the typical working-class family that helped propel Trump to the presidency. The family applied to the HOME program in 2015 to help repair their home, the Times reported.
