Two years ago, during an earlier phase of the ongoing border crisis, AOC said “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border.”
And today? Crickets.
Congressional Democrats’ hypocrisy on the treatment of “unaccompanied” illegal-alien minors has become glaring enough that friendly media outlets feel they have to offer an explanation. The New York Times this week provided a platform for Democratic representatives to explain why they haven’t engaged in the kind of performative outrage at the living conditions of detained minors that greeted the exact same problem under Trump. Instead, the article notes, they are “voicing worries privately to administration officials.”
As you might expect, the excuses boil down to Orange Man Bad. For instance, El Paso’s Democratic congresswoman, Veronica Escobar, said of the Biden administration “They have a solid vision and a heart of gold, and they seem to want to do the right thing, which is different from what I experienced during the Trump administration.” Representative Joaquin Castro from San Antonio also commented on the Biden crowd’s internal organs: “The difference is you have an administration who wants to solve a lot of these challenges, and their heart is in a much better place.”
