On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace interviewed former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, who said that under President Barack Obama, they did detain some children alone and some families together, two policies for which Donald Trump has been under considerable fire.

After President Trump signed an executive order last week to stop the separation of families at the border, the administration took new fire for the idea that families would be detained together. Rep. Louis “The secretary of Homeland Security has lost all morals when it comes to protecting children and enforcing our immigration laws.”

It is also something for which the ACLU blasted President Obama years ago.

On Sunday, former Secretary Johnson told Chris Wallace that they thought it was necessary at the time, and that it is still is.

Johnson was saying what all have long known. Yet...they of the news media pretend it all began with Trump.

Trump's supporters don't need the Fakestream News, to inform them of what is what--like this.

Amazing they don't need George Will, or those like him, or curated daily anti-Trump (anti-Trump supporter) feeds to learn facts and the truth.
