Outraged Progressives Share Images Of Immigrant Children…From 2014

Twitchy called this the greatest “self-own” in Twitter history and I agree. Yesterday, a group of outraged progressives began tweeting around a photo of two children at a border patrol holding facility sleeping behind a chain link fence. Former Obama speechwriter and current podcast resistance leader Jon Favreau wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “Look at these pictures. This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.”

including Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour:

And the man who recently spread the false rape accusation about a Texas Trooper, Shaun King:

Well, the picture and the story are real, but unfortunately for these outraged progressives they are both from 2014, i.e. this happened under the Obama administration. But word didn’t get around to actress Rosanna Arquette or Mia Farrow:

I’m picking on some of the leading progressives who sent this around yesterday but there are literally hundreds more who are still posting it today despite lots of people pointing out these photos are 4 years old.

There are a couple of questions worth asking here. One is: How is it that all of these people keyed on the same old article at the same time?

The other obvious question is why none of these same people were outraged about this four years ago. Could it be that they didn’t want to embarrass a Democratic president but are happy to pile on a Republican? That’s certainly how it looks.~~~~~~~~~~~Liberals are hypocrites...

So the Obama administration was not only in charge when those detention center pictures were taken, it was at least partially responsible for the conditions that led to the surge of unaccompanied minors which made those detention centers necessary. It’s quite something for the left to suddenly express outrage over all of this now. But it’s pretty clear most of them are doing so only because they believe the blame will fall on President Trump. That really is an epic “self-own.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The left has lost all credibility...

And in FL there are road signs that state: Turn on lights and wipers when raining.

I didn't have a camera with me to photograph that.

I think the left has been played.

It looks to me like there is a pattern here:

Caged children! Outrage! Trump is horrible! Oops, that was 0vomit.

Russia, Russia, Russia! Outrage! Trump is horrible! Oops, that was 0vomit. And HRC.

Misogyny! Outrage! Trump is horrible! Oops, that was BJC, and dozens of other democrats.

Pay for play! Emoluments clause! Trump is horrible! Oops, that was 0vomit, and the Clintons.

I think you’re right!

They have dominated the field for decades but nothing is permanent.
It seems the worm has finally turned. :)
