Michelle Obama lied so badly in her convention speech last night that even liberal outlets could not let it pass. Michelle complained about kids being locked in cages. The pictures that have been previously displayed in order to show Trump’s cruelty were actually taken in 2014 under the Obama/Biden administration. In fact, they built the cages.
The AP fact checked her claim and they trashed her for her lies, which in itself is surprising. They pointed out that Obama did the very same thing and they went on to say that even after the photos were debunked, Democrats continue to lie about it. And why not, their voters are not exactly MENSA candidates.
And even when they know something very bad about the Democrat they vote for them anyway. Recently a group went out and told people that Trump made a series of racist comments. Unanimously, they said they wouldn’t vote for Trump because of his racism. But when they found out allmof the comments were Biden’s not a single person changed their mind on voting.
The Associated Press via The Seattle Times reported:
Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.
She’s right that Trump’s now-suspended policy at the U.S.-Mexico border separated thousands of children from their families in ways that had not been done before. But what she did not say is that the very same “cages” were built and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.
A look at her remark in the keynote address at the opening night of the remote Democratic National Convention:
MICHELLE OBAMA, on Americans: “They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages.”
THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Democrats have persistently distorted.
Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. They are chain-link enclosures inside border facilities where migrants were temporarily housed, separated by sex and age.
At the height of the controversy over Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border, photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack Obama.
