Those are my thoughts also. The Dems spawned this evil brood in the belief that it would spur them to election victories in 2012. That is why the Press, and the Democrat leadership were gushing over these ne'er do wells, when this program first started. Now that it has turned out to alienate most of America, the Dems and their allies in the Media are trying to disown their progeny. Baloney.
The ‘Rats found out in short order that trying to control radical hippy freaks is worse than herding cats.
Now the ‘rats want to disown them. But it’s way to late for that.
