The lies of Michelle Obama and AOC are coming back to haunt the Dems in the middle of their convention

Democrat Convention Showed Michelle Obama As ‘Queen of Bee-Ess’



Democrat Convention Showed Michelle Obama As ‘Queen of Bee-Ess’For her pre-recorded, thoroughly partisan, prime time convention speech on Monday, Michelle Obama brazenly swiped a theme from ‘Squad Queen NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who last year attributed children “torn from their families” and “thrown into cages” to President Donald Trump’s border agents—when the cages were her husband Barack Obama’s. Americans “watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages,” she said, reviving a claim that produces a strong emotional reaction among Democrat-leaning voters. (Breitbart, Aug. 18, 2020) Who would ever have guessed that the former first lady would be caught up by the unlikeliest of all places, the Associated Press?

The Democrats used images from 2014 to illustrate their 2019 claim

“A fact check by the Associated Press said:
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.
“Some children were separated in 2019 because Trump ordered officials to prosecute illegal migrants for crossing the border. The process required that the parents be sent to criminal jails, and some children had to be kept in different facilities. “The Democrats used images from 2014 to illustrate their 2019 claims — even though the photos showed migrant youths during Obama’s term.

“The establishment media played up the emotional themes. For example, a Vox.com article on the problem used this headline: “The horrifying conditions facing kids in border detention, explained: On any given day, 2,000 children are in Border Patrol custody, and the problems are hardly confined to one facility.” “The Democrat claims were aided by the migrants voluntarily split from their families before crossing the border. For example, a married mother and father would divide their children and cross the border separately. The tactic was designed to use the children as a shield against the prosecution of either parent. “That splitting tactic worked because Democrats and media allies successfully used the separated children as an emotional argument against Trump. “However, most of the “family units” were allowed through the border because the border agencies lacked the detention space to hold the massive flood. Most of the children are now enrolled in packed U.S. schools while their parents work for low wages — often illegally — amid the coronavirus crash. “Since then, Trump has changed regulations to block nearly all of the blue-collar migration across the border, including children who claim to be traveling alone. “That quiet regulatory change has gotten minimal media coverage, even though it has blocked many single workers, intact families, as well as the youths and children who are using the legal status of “Unaccompanied Alien Children” to reach their illegal-migrant parents working in the United States. “The pro-migration groups have filed numerous lawsuits to reopen the migration channels.

Drama queens Michelle Obama and AOC

The AP could have—but didn’t add—that the Democrats, including drama queens Michelle Obama and AOC are doing diddly-squat about it in telling “the rest of the (fabled) story”. AOC dramatized the ‘Kids in Cages’ story while supporting Joe Biden—totally ignoring that it was Biden and Obama who began the practice. “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez underscored her support for Joe Biden for president on the grounds that “we have kids in cages,” a reference to children of illegal aliens who are detained in separate facilities at the border. But the New York congresswoman seems to be forgetting (or ignoring) that the practice originated under the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice president. (The Lid, May 9, 2020)
“The New York socialist and symbol of the new Democratic party delivered the criticism of Trump administration policy in an interview with the ladies of “The View” in mid-April. “I think, you know, I think right now just the stakes are too high when it comes to another four years of Trump,” she claimed, adding, “My community especially has been so impacted, and it’s, you know, for a lot of communities, this is an issue of life and death. We’ve had kids in cages.”   “One of these two candidates are [sic] going to be elected president of the United States,” she went on. “It’s either going to be Joe Biden or it’s going to be Donald Trump, and I think it’s important to, you know, communicate some empathy.” “Where were those calls for empathy when Biden, along with former President Barack Obama, was the one placing kids in temporary holding areas?


AOC holds on to her title of Drama and Squad Queen, Michelle Obama just showed herself as ‘Queen of Bee-Ess’

“Thomas Homan, the executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Obama, says he was there when they were building the cage-like structures to house illegal aliens. “I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under Secretary Jeh Johnson,” Homan explained at a conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies. “I was there when it was built.” “It would seem empathy for children is something that didn’t exist the last time Biden was in a position of authority. In fact, Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez are so delusional that they tried to blame Trump for a photo of kids in cages taken in 2014. “Barack Obama was president at the time. “Speaking of staging things, Ocasio-Cortez got her crocodile tears on and communicated some fake empathy during a trip to a detention center in El Paso, Texas in 2019.”
The lies of Michelle Obama and AOC are coming back to haunt the Dems in the middle of their convention. Meanwhile, while AOC holds on to her title of Drama and Squad Queen, Michelle Obama just showed herself as ‘Queen of Bee-Ess’.
