So why are liberal blue checks and Dems so mad at Republicans because of it? Here’s Ben Bostwick, comms and digital for @MaineDems:
.@SenatorCollins, anything from you or your GOP colleagues on this?
Or is this gonna be kinda like the time you said separating immigrant families was “traumatizing” for children and then did absolutely nothing about it. #mepolitics https://t.co/J7XVjD5hjJ

Totally the GOP’s fault:
The @gop smash and grab includes stealing children. https://t.co/4xpZUusxEK https://t.co/I0J14gZ0I6

Somehow pro-life groups are to blame for what happened during the last administration:
This is absolutely evil. Where are all of the #prolife groups advocating for children and their mothers? (Oh right, they are either silent or in favor of giving adoption agencies greater latitude to take babies from poor brown mothers and give them to white families). https://t.co/dw7LlKalMx
