A journalist at the daily White House press briefing Monday played an audio tape of crying illegal immigrant children while Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was defending the administration’s policy of separating families who enter the country illegally.
Near the end of Ms. Nielsen’s press briefing, while she was still talking, the audio recorded by ProPublica could be heard playing on a journalist’s laptop or other electronic device in the briefing room. The sound of the crying children went on for more than 30 seconds; it wasn’t clear who was playing the tape during Ms. Nielsen’s presentation.
The recording of the sobbing of 10 Central American children, separated from their parents one day last week by U.S. immigration authorities at the border, went viral earlier in the day. The children scream “Mami” and “Papá” repeatedly.

Hey, kid, if you cry for the camera, you’ll get a chocolate bar.
It was the White House press briefing, not DHS. But pull their credentials for what reason?
The press needs to be treated like the enemy and yank press access if they cross a Line.
They've been treated like the enemy since day one, with good reason.
The WH press room is a disgrace.
No argument there.
There’s a reason I call it the Media Death Star.
Pretty much. There is a special place in hell for these totally deranged fake news “journalists “.
After seeing the performance of the sobbing media at the White House presser yesterday, one suspects that at least half the men are transitioning to being emotionally-driven women. They couldn’t seem to get the fact that 10,000 of the 12,000 children in DHS care were sent by their parents with smugglers to sneak into this country. Now that IS child abuse, not by our government but by these parents.
Ditto
I hear kids crying for mama and papa every time I visit the grocery store.
The IG needs to investigate the media for electioneering and campaign fraud.
I did watch part of it. What a loony tunes bunch of so-called ‘journalists’. Fox News should not have broadcast it. I switched over to my Fire Stick and watched some intensely more interesting re-runs.
She should have said,
“Oh, more New York Times advertisers looking at their sales.”
I’d be willing to bet that there are many American democrats that are sick of the illegal situation, but don’t dare speak up. As American citizens we intinctively know that it will destroy our country to have wide open borders. Trump needs to stick to his guns and let the whiners whine. Next week the media will be on to something else.
Parents need to set “good example” and not break the law.
Concerns about the feared MS-13 following these illegals.
“That was not a journalist. That was a provocateur.”
Doesn’t make any difference, the dems and libs will win because the Republicans have NO BACK BONE what so ever and cave at every turn because they are still trying to be “liked and accepted” by the MSM. Fools.
It was probably their own kids crying.
Fake news
This “crisis” is in its tenth year but they’re rolling it out to distract from the IG report.
“Too bad we cannot hear the screams of the unborn child as they are being torn limb from limb as they are murdered by the demoncrat party.”
Couldn’t agree more, but the big difference they can’t vote, so the dems have no use for them. It is sickening what is being done to INNOCENT babies.
