Democratic politicians, journalists, and top staffers in Barack Obama’s White House whipped themselves into a frenzy Sunday, attributing “disturbing” photos of migrant detention centers to President Donald Trump — before discovering the photos were taken during Obama’s second term as president. The first wave of viral photos, showing immigrant minors sleeping inside enclosed cages, were featured in an AZCentral.com article — but that didn’t stop far-left activists from decrying the photos.
Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau urged followers to “look at these pictures,” adding that the forcing the Trump administration to return the children to their parents was the “only debate that matters” right now.
Farveau, who later deleted the tweet, admitted to sharing photos taken under his former boss’s watch — but still found a way to shift blame onto the Trump administration.
“These awful pictures are from 2014, when the government’s challenge was reconnecting unaccompanied minors who showed up at the border with family or a safe sponsor,” he wrote.
“Today, in 2018, the government is CREATING unaccompanied minors by tearing them away from family at the border.”
Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles mayor and California gubernatorial candidate, said the photos left him “speechless.”
“This is not who we are as a nation,” he added.
Villaraigosa later deleted his post.

HAHAHA!!
Liberals are irrational and stupid.
I saw these sent around, compared to holocaust photos of children.
That’s ludicrous as a comparison, and of course the photos were meant to smear Trump as a Nazi, but it was obvious the photos were from the Obama era.
But reality does not matter to the liberal cultists.
Idiots.
Obama didn’t care.
These people are stupid.
Dems are effing stupid.
“Liberals are irrational and stupid.”
First-class plane tickets would probably be cheaper.
it's the seriousness of the charge
D’oh!
It’s a detention center not a hotel! They’ll survive, maybe a little adversity is good for these kids...what...should they be given x-boxes and Star Wars beds ???
Lots of fake news today from Cindy McCain taking John’s seat to Trump being blamed for Obama’s photos.
“...Liberals are irrational and stupid.....”
Actually, they suffer from a debilitating, chronic, no-cure, mental disease that slowly rots their brains out. As it progresses, their ability to determine reality from fantasy erodes to the point that they live in their own utopia “fantasy world”.
Bottom line: They’re insane and should never be allowed near the levers of government in any capacity. They destroy everything they touch.....EVERYTHING.
They are the BORG of this century and should be stamped out.
America used to be a Mecca for the industrious and freedom seeking, now it is a Mecca for socialism and pimping human traffic
If we made migrating to the US a nono,children would not be sent here to sit in cages
Well said
I had that same dog-pound reaction to that photo of the kids.
I’m almost surprised they didn’t talk of euthanasia and coming down to take them home before it’s too late.
