Liberals used the photo on social media, arguing that it was an example of Trump’s cruel policy, which is a verifiably false claim. Even the former speechwriter for Obama, Jon Favreau, tweeted a complete falsehood:

“This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.”

Other liberal activists and journalists, Shaun King of Black Lives Matter, Linda Sarsour of the Women’s March, and Muslim activist Qasim Rashid also tweeted the Obama-era policy of keeping illegals in cages– purporting that it was Trump.

I saw this photo floating around and didn’t know if it was real. It is. Children of immigrants are being held in cages, like dogs, at ICE detention centers, sleeping on the floor. It’s an abomination.

Rashid specifically blamed Trump:

The US Govt is holding migrant children in small cages like they are animals–just as 45 describes them. This is horrific. This is inhumane. This cannot stand. #ThisIsAmerica

Twitter user Michael Pierce wrote to Mr. Rashid: “Welcome to 2014. I think I have a solid guess on how your selective outrage missed this then.”

New York Times Magazine editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein and Lauren Wolfe, director of the Women’s Media Center Women Under Siege, were among the blue-checkmarked journalists who also spread the misinformation before apologizing.

“I’m honestly lost as to why the Trump troll world has woken up tonight to lambaste me for posting a story that’s a few years old, by accident, & clarifying that once I discovered it. They’re vicious. It’s incredibly demoralizing that this is our public discourse,” Ms. Wolfe lamented.

What’s incredibly demoralizing is that “journalists” would continue to not fact check and push out completely false information.

What do you make of that?

What do I make that your source is ' the daily redneck'? Nothing.
I fully expect any and all justification for trumps actions to come from some, deep south confederate flag waver...and the resident ukippers here.

The actual story was a main feature on the Maajid Nawaz show on LBC this morning. He led with it.

If you have any issues with its veracity make them known

Are poorer ‘rednecks’ second-class citizens in your book then because some may be less educated and therefore less important and less entitled to have a valid opinion. By your politics that would be a very right wing view.

Well as I have seen Withano talk about university and his studies I know he isn’t uneducated. I was talking in reference to his politics and his tendency to sarcasm and general attitude. So your point is what exactly!
