Trump: 60 Minutes did a phony story about child separation when we had the same policy as Obama

@60Minutes did a phony story about child separation when they know we had the exact same policy as the Obama Administration. In fact a picture of children in jails was used by other Fake Media to show how bad (cruel) we are, but it was in 2014 during O years. Obama separated....

....children from parents, as did Bush etc., because that is the policy and law. I tried to keep them together but the problem is, when you do that, vast numbers of additional people storm the Border. So with Obama seperation is fine, but with Trump it’s not. Fake 60 Minutes!

Glad to see him fight the propaganda.

Obama’s DHS Secretary to Chris Wallace on 06/24/2018.

“JOHNSON: Well, Chris, without a doubt the images and the reality from 2014 just like 2018 are not pretty. And so, we expanded family detention. We had then 34,000 beds for family detention, only 95 of 34,000 equipped to deal with families. 

So, we extended it. I freely admit it was controversial. We believed it was necessary at the time. I still believe it is necessary to name a certain capability for families. We can’t have catch and release and in my three years we deported, or repatriated or returned over a million people

Obama wore a plate of armor, making him impervious to attacks by media or republicans. That armor being he was hafrican.

Thanks for posting this! For some reason, I record 60 Minutes every Sunday night so I won't miss the occasional good story. I just watched this segment and was yelling at the TV the entire time! I have never seen anything more biased in my life, and that's saying a lot! Every person on there had to know that they were lying through their teeth. They had better correct this next week or lose what little credibility they have left!

I don’t know. I saw the show. The whole thing looked bad on a lot of people.

Trump can say what he wants but I don’t think his policy makers really helped him out on this policy. It looked like the government at higher levels really bungled the policy and didn’t listen to the lower levels and it got to the point that Trump had to stop it all.

What really made things look bad is the government somehow sent people back and their kids stayed behind. It appears nobody has clear numbers or ways to put these kids with their families. All in all, I would have to say the government blew it and had been blowing it for years.

I am surprised See BS didn’t have this one out before the election.

ABOUT TIME big media is put in their place regarding this non-issue.

Media’s not the enemy of the people? Riiiight...

did anyone cry when Obiwan Hussein let 10,000 kids in without parents

[hawkaw]

I think you missed my point.

Obama kept kids in chain link cages......but Pres Trump gets all the criticism.

Obama-era holding areas at the border.

[Texas Eagle]

The only consistent thing about the fake news media is their inconsistency.

[Texas Eagle]

If it wasn’t for double standards, the fake news media would have no standards at all.

[morphing libertarian]

a large holding area is not a cage. Chain link fencing is convenient and inexpensive when you have an urgent need. The spaces are large and the kids get out for class recreation and meals. The use of the word cage is to attack trump. Did anyone say Obama kept kids in cages.

Also fencing keeps the kids of one age group away from others in another age group, makes them safer day and night.

Ask 60 Minutes about fake gasoline tank explosions in Chevy/GMC trucks ignited with planted fireworks. Another FAKE NEWS story.
