What was said

Over footage from Poland's border, Cooper posted: “This is how you handle people trying to invade your country.”

Why it counts

Countries police their borders and how much force is proportionate is a real argument that serious people have.

What's being approved here is specific. The post quotes a report that Poland's border guards may now fire on people crossing, and answers it with this is how you handle them. Handle is applied to a category rather than to anything anyone did, and the force being endorsed is lethal.

The receipts

Every quote, checked against its source.
