The media and the goons on the left are out for blood after President Trump fired Kirstjen Nielsen.
They blame her for everything and been vicious in their smugness. Some even have started petitions to blackball her from getting a new job. They are in full liberal frenzy of fake outrage and real hysteria. It reminds some of Salem back when they hunted witches.
No thought, no facts, just the angry mob. Enter Rush Limbaugh. Who found a skeleton in Obama’s closet and used it to embarrass CNN and the Democrats.
Rush said, “It’s really instructive to see how she is being blamed by the Democrats, instead of Trump. She’s become the whipping girl instead of Trump. According to the Democrats and the media, which of course are one and the same, she is a horrible person for allowing Trump to put children in cages, which Trump did not do. I feel like I’m hitting golf balls uphill against the wind here, an impossible thing to do.
Trump didn’t put kids in cages! Obama put kids in cages! All of this, everything that we’re dealing with here that Trump wasn’t able to fix is something held over from the Obama years. And of course the Drive-Bys and the Democrats don’t want anybody thinking that. But every mess this country has, every mess that Trump is attempting to address is something in place because of Obama.
Kirstjen Nielsen didn’t put kids in cages, and Trump didn’t put kids in cages. It was a policy that happened during the Obama years. Now she’s a monster for letting Trump separate children from their parents which Obama and Bush and Clinton all did. This has been an American policy for over 10 years, but it is never become something that was successfully weaponized.
Why would you want to trash Bill Clinton? Why would you want to trash Obama? The media, the Democrats wouldn’t want to do that. So they don’t even report any of that. Of course, the Clintons and the Obamas never wanted to do anything about immigration anyway except keep the borders open. And even George W. Bush in that administration was for amnesty.
So this is the first administration, the Trump administration’s actually the first one to come along to actually respond to public pressure on this. There’s new polling data out from Rasmussen. Sixty-seven percent of the American people are totally opposed to what we’re doing on immigration, and they want it fixed. And nobody in Washington is listening to them, Republican or Democrat, except Trump and the very few supporters on this issue that he has.
Now, I don’t know how many times I have mentioned this — and I’m sorry for those of you who have heard it all these times, I’m gonna mention it again for whatever it’s worth. It’s the Flores agreement that separates children from their mommies and daddies at the border. And you will not hear about this from the Democrats or you will not read or hear about it in the Drive-By Media.
Nielsen and Trump are simply trying to follow the law, and not just the law. The ACLU and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Flores Settlement, which is what causes children to be separated in the first place. Flores, the Flores Settlement — F-l-o-r-e-s, spelled the same way as the old Oakland Raiders coach, Tom Flores, the Flores Settlement caused the current crisis.
You could argue that the phony outrage over the separation of children is why we have the current crisis at the border in the first place. It’s a manufactured crisis. It’s not anything that’s new. It’s been American policy mandated by a decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I don’t care what you think of them, the law is the law, except in immigration. See, we choose to enforce some of it, but then we ignore other aspects of it. It is a mess. It’s an absolute mess.”
Rush then embarassed CNN. he came back from a break and said,
“Grab audio sound bite number 1. The Drive-Bys have been smearing Kirstjen Nielsen as a woman who put kids in cages, separated families. Here we go…
TERRY MORAN: Nielsen will likely be best remembered for enforcing the president’s zero-tolerance policy, which resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant children from their families.
MAJOR GARRETT: Nielsen’s legacy: Family separations.
JEFFREY TOOBIN: For the rest of her life, people will look at her and think, “Oh, that’s the woman who put children in cages.”
KENNETH MOTON: She will be forever linked to children being put in cages.
JONATHAN LEMIRE: She oversaw the family separation policy, which prompted protests across the country and heartbreaking images of children in cages.
SAMANTHA VINOGRAD: Nielsen has been the brand ambassador for President Trump’s most inhumane policies.
TOM NICHOLS: Putting children in cages and separating from their families…
JOE LOCKHART: Anyone who comes in now, runs the same risk that Nielsen has of ruining their reputation for the rest of their lives.
RUSH: Yeah, because of people like you lying about the policy and lying about what people are doing to obey the law! You hear how many people in this montage say, “Putting children in cages”? I’m just telling you, folks, this has been American law stemming from the Flores Settlement, Flores resolution. You can look it up in the Ninth U.S. Court of Appeals, and it has required the separation of children from their parents, and the children haven’t been put in cages! They were put in detention centers, for crying out loud — welcome centers, for crying out loud — with food and education and medicine and SpongeBob SquarePants or whatever else they needed. They were not put in cages. Asinine, he concluded.
