We all remember that Associated Press fast checked the photos of Obama’s era that the Dems were trying to use to attack Trump’s administration.
The photos, taken by The Associated Press, were from 2014, during the Obama administration, but were presented by liberal activists as if they showed the effects of Trump’s immigration policy now. Villaraigosa, Favreau and some others deleted their tweets when the mistake was pointed out.
They had linked to a June 2014 online story by The Arizona Republic titled “First peek: Immigrant children flood detention center.” The story featured photos taken by AP’s Ross D. Franklin at a center run by the Customs and Border Protection Agency in Nogales, Arizona. One photo shows two unidentified female detainees sleeping in a holding cell. The caption refers to U.S. efforts to process 47,000 unaccompanied children at the Nogales center and another one in Brownsville, Texas.
But proving that the photos are from Obamas’ era is not enough for the Dems.
House Democrats tweeted a photo from President Barack Obama’s administration to promote their investigation into “inhumane treatment” at the border before deleting the tweet Tuesday.
The Committee on Oversight and Reform announced a hearing advisory set for Wednesday titled “Kids in Cages: Inhumane Treatment at the Border” over Twitter. The hearing will be “examining” this alleged inhumane treatment after members of the committee witnessed the “grotesque treatment of children.”
As the Daily Caller reported:
The announcement was meant to be for the inhumane treatment allegedly occurring under President Donald Trump.
The picture included in the tweet of children in cages was from the Obama administration, according to President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. The photo was quickly deleted.
Trump War Room, an account managed by the Trump 2020 presidential campaign, included a second tweet which showed the specific portion of the photo included in the House Democrats‘ tweet.
After deleting the tweet, the Oversight Committee put up a second tweet with a different photo. This one was also from the Obama administration, according to Republican House Oversight Committee and the Associated Press. This tweet was also deleted.
These Democrats are so out of touch that they don’t realize that when the research of these pictures is done they date back to “2015 when Obama was our So-Called President. He is the one Responsible for those Conditions ! Obama didn’t care about these people or the children then and he still doesn’t care today!
