On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that it would be reapplying a question about citizenship to the 2020 census form, a question that was removed by the Obama administration for 2010's.
Just like Vega, NBC White House Correspondent Kristen Welker touted the legal efforts of liberal states in suing the White House for daring to ask the question.
ABC and NBC pushed a major piece of false information in regards to the history of such citizenship questions on the census.
In reality, the last time a question about citizenship was asked on the census was back in 2000.
According to the long-form questionnaire from that year, question 13 asked: "Is this person a citizen of the United States?" The question is repeated six times, once for each possible person in the household.
A question about people, about their citizenship, triggering worries that immigrants will skip the survey, and that could have far-reaching consequences.
KRISTEN WELKER: Tonight, the White House defending its move to bring back this controversial question to the U.S. census for the first time since 1950.
