Rachel Maddow uses Obama-era pics of illegal immigrant children to attack Trump

Rachel Maddow

Rachel "Madcow" Maddow of far-left-nay-Marxist MSNBC borrowed from the Obama administration's photos of immigrant children sleeping on the floor to blame Trump for "deliberately" hurting families. A pair of the key demo photos were definitely the work of the Obama folks.

“In terms of permanent damage done to humans, in terms of the severity of the damage deliberately done to humans, the Trump administration, no matter what else they do, they will never ever get out from the shadow of the fact that they really did, as a policy and a deliberate practice, they really did take little kids away from their moms and dads,” Maddow said as she opened "The Rachel Maddow Show," as Obama-era photos appeared on the screen.

One photo showed an illegal immigrant child, forced by parents to make the long and dangerous journey across the border, lying on the floor, covered over by what appeared to be a mylar blanket at an Arizona facility in 2014. This was practically before golden escalators were invented.

This exact same photo was used by Al Jazeera in 2018 to prove family separation occurred during the Obama administration, too. You can imagine the Democrats will soon say Trump is cozy with Islamic terrorist sympathizers, but don't forget that it was Al Gore that sold them the TV network.

“They outfitted the kids with mylar blankets and a lump of padding that was supposed to qualify as a mattress, and they told them to sleep on the floor,” Madcow said as the Obama-era photo appeared on the screen, never mentioning that fact and allowing her gullible audience to think it was Trump.

Another photo she used to attack Trump was taken the same year as the prior one, when Obama was in office and Trump was on TV firing people. This powerful photo shot through a chain-link fence showed two kids. It was used in a 2014 Los Angeles Times story headlined, “Obama administration acts to ease immigration legal crunch at border.” How thoughtful of the Obama administration to put them there.

MSNBC unapologetically uses propaganda like Michael Moore uses condiments.

This is not an inadvertent mistake by the mainstream media. They have used Obama-era photos to go after Trump in the past and the Associated Press published a fact check when similar images were used.

“THE FACTS: 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,” the AP wrote.

Trump, of course, jumped on the chance to hit back. He 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,”

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who was vice president in 2014 when the photos were taken, was awarded a “false” by Politifact for claiming the Obama administration didn’t “lock people up in cages.”

A "false" awarded to a Democrat by Politifact is equivalent to 74 "Pinocchios" and 127 "Pants on Fire," by other liberal outlets. Those on the political right refer to it as the Total BullCrap Award."

Fun Fact: Two of the images Maddow presented to MSNBC cretins on Tuesday were part of the evidence Politifact used to prove Biden was wrong.

C'mon, man. You know you want to follow Brain Flushings--it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.
