Dem Response Resurrects 'Kids in Cages' Fake News
2019-02-06
[PJMedia] Stacey
"Tank"
Abrams, former Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, delivered the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union on Tuesday. In that speech, she repeated the fake news that Trump's administration put kids in cages.



"This administration chooses to cage children and tear families apart," Abrams declared.

The viral photo of a child in a cage did not come from Trump's immigration policy, however. The photo came from a protest against the Trump administration. Other photos came from 2014, during the Obama administration.

In May, Trump tweeted, "Democrats mistakenly tweet 2014 pictures from Obama’s term showing children from the Border in steel cages. They thought it was recent pictures in order to make us look bad, but backfires. Dems must agree to Wall and new Border Protection for good of country...Bipartisan Bill!"

PolitiFact rated his statement "True."

#2  Cages? You want cages? Twelve years of schooling and you still can't read, write or do arithmetic - that's a cage. But as long as you can vote Democratic, it's all good!

#1  Ms. Abrams started out with a large grin and soft approach with her words. Her speech devolved and she started to rant, her grin kept turning into a sneer which she kept trying to replace with the earlier grin but she kept on lapsing into her sneer. Alas, she just showed her sneering distaste for America.
