The HuffPost’s Sam Stein is quite angry with his liberal readers for “just now waking up to the realities of the Obama-era immigrant detention policies” and he suggested we check HuffPost reporter Elise Foley’s past work on the issue:
Disheartening that people are just now waking up to the realities of the Obama-era immigrant detention policies. Y’all should have been following @elisefoley

So we did! And the number of children Obama tore from the arms of their loving parents is absolutely chilling:

Wow. Almost 72,000 parents! (But some of those parents may have been torn from the same children multiple times)
Now, we agree with this below and we know there was criticism from Obama’s left, which is why we knew so many libs were full of it when sharing the 2014 photos:
For some folks this is def true. Not necessarily out of “bias” but human beings often miss things, sometimes to their shame. However, I recall from that time a large number of folks in the press & certainly activist circles sound the alarm over what happened under Obama https://t.co/rwciPEhxhX

But, the criticism from Obama’s left was nowhere close to what we’re hearing today about Trump. Because if we use current liberal rhetoric as a guide — like this that we told you about earlier today from Amy Siskind…
Wonder what you would have been doing in Germany, as Hitler rose to power?
You’re doing it right now.

…and this from Chelsea Handler…
Agreed. Are there any Republicans willing to stand up for the nazi- like inhuman behavior? What Republicans have come to stand for behind Trump is astounding. https://t.co/PUuFJmX2Zm

…and this from McCain campaign chief Steve Schmidt…
The separation of children from parents is something that happens in Gilead ( handmaids tale ) and Auschwitz. This is should not be happening in America. Disgusting

…then Obama was a Nazi, too.
