    A photograph of two migrant children sleeping in a cage at an ICE detention facility quickly went viral on Sunday after several prominent liberals tweeted it in a white-hot rage at President Trump’s immigration policy.

    After a laundry list of journalists and public figures angrily tweeted the photo – including CNN’s Hadas Gold, NYT Mag’s editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau and former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, they deleted their tweets in shame when it emerged that the photo was taken in 2014, under Obama.

    Indeed – nobody thought to check the date on the attached article, published in June of 2014.

    The award for the lamest excuse goes to CNN’s Hadas Gold, who wrote “Deleted previous tweet because gave impression of recent photos (they’re from 2014)”

    Sorry Hadas. The internet never forgets:

    Jake Silverstein, editor-in-chief of NYT Magazine, threw his family under the bus for “distracting” him.

    Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau cranked up the virtue-signaling up to eleven, tweeting “Look at these pictures. This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.

    Aaand it’s gone – but not forgotten:

    Then there’s Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour:

    Former LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa also had egg on his face after tweeting “Speechless. This is not who we are as a nation.”

    As Caleb Hull – Senior Editor of The IJR and others pointed out, many of those who tweeted the picture on Sunday were awfully silent when it actually happened under Obama.

    Of course, then there was the inevitable…

      1. I can’t help but laugh at the stupidity of libturds every time. It never occurs to them to go look at themselves in the mirror.

      2. It’s interesting they didn’t say anything when their hero Obama was doing these things. They just didn’t care.

        • Proof? Source?

      3. They should be feeling stupid…..

      4. Jim in VA, last time I checked they ARE stupid, LOL!

      5. Truth doesn’t make much difference to most people, either on the right or the left.

        Which is why they usually just hear and see what they want to hear and see and don’t bother to investigate it to see what the reality is.

      6. The problem is how many morons initially saw this and bought it. Sorry doesn’t help when the damage is done and the idiots are fueled with more stupidity.

      7. False Flag Event

      8. Memorial Day

      9. A picture like this with Obama and Hillary would be nice. Jeff Session could you please make it happen! Then we could Thank, AW, I mean blame Trump. Trekker Out

      10. Should we be surprised these jackals refuse to do their job; i.e., check the facts, only report the facts, and STAY apolitical. No chance. The Liberal media will step all over themselves to be the first to report “FAKE NEWS”. Bash Trump at all costs. Guess what Liberal Media; it’s gonna end up costing you big time in the end.

      11. ALL liberals are dumb as rock POS.

      12. What a hoot! Leftists, Liberals and Democrats are such hypocrites! Even if it was during B.O.s administration, they still should’ve been outraged. But it just goes to show that B.O. can sell the country out, back stab the USA, and in their eyes he can do no wrong. We get a president who cares about this country and the people, and they hate him. Those people are confused!

      13. Let’s see if we can observe (((something))) in common about 75% of these individuals:

        “CNN’s Hadas Gold, NYT Mag’s editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau and former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa”

      14. They will hate him more when he gets re-elected in 2020. just think…no Hillary!

        • After Trump the US will be destroyed by Hill who has not gone away but is still campaigning.

          Noticed when Trump cancelled the talks because of the attitude of NK plainly sucks how the Media condemned him because they want Trump to grovel to naughty boy.

          Now naughty boy is grovelling to Trump which is how it should be considering this drug influenced person is so unstable and could change his mind at anytime, China should fear him as well as he is just as likely to fire a nuke at them if he can’t get his way.

          “In North Korea, meth is offered as casually as a cup of tea”

      15. Trump re-elected in 2020, does it even matter anymore who is elected? Are you expecting anything out of the ordinary NWO military suck up puppets who have occupied the office since late 1963. Demonrats and Repuglithugs every stinking time. Eisenhower included and all those preceding him like Franklin Roosenfeld. Did anyone else upon entering this site get a page warning that you (me) are being monitored and all that I say is being followed, then asking for my email address?

      16. …so what about the kid in the cage?

      17. this isn’t new – Obammy used those unescorted illegal kids as weapons of war against the conservative states – loaded them up and dumped them in cities across the country for the individual states to contend with ….

      18. prefer Trump to NOT get elected, and go ahead and blame some other person when the economy collapses worldwide.
