The DCCC launched a new 30 second web video today drawing a direct line between the talking points Congressman Curbelo now parrots in Washington and the Trump administration officials that he learned them from.
Here’s what Congressman Curbelo had to say when he was confronted about turning his back on immigrant families: “I wish you had been upset when the Obama Administration had children in cages”
And here is President Trump and his administration using the same false talking points.
- President Trump: “They’re all saying about separating the families and that’s a Democrat bill. That’s Democrats
- Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “Separating of illegal-alien families is [sic] the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close. And these laws are the same that have been on the books for over a decade.”
- DHS Secretary Neilsen:”The last administration, the Obama administration, the Bush administration all separated families at the border, they absolutely did.”
