Hillary Clinton put out a thread telling everyone about how heartbroken and horrified she is at the conditions at the detention facilities along the southern border.
I've been heartbroken and horrified to read the news of children at the border being detained in appalling conditions.
No soap, no toothbrushes, no beds.
Not enough food, babies being forced to take care of babies, everyone sick.

Which is interesting because we don’t remember a similar thread of tweets from Mrs. Clinton about the conditions during the administration in which she served.
It's hard to process that our country is committing such abuses—and against children—in our name.
But let's not stop at outrage or heartbreak.

Wonder if Hillary reads the Washington Post these days?
“The conditions that were the subject of (a 2017 federal court ruling, finding that child migrants and their parents were detained in dirty, crowded, bitingly cold conditions inside U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities along the southern border) date back to the Obama administration.”
There are amazing groups at the border and beyond doing critical work to defend the rights of immigrant and refugee children.
If you can, please chip in to support a few of them today. https://t.co/frm9HKTVmj

Now she has suddenly become aware and outraged at the conditions.
We can help these children get the help they deserve. And we can send a message to the administration that we won't stand for this. We just won’t. #CloseTheCamps

Spare us the sanctimonious rhetoric now.
Yes, I fondly remember Hillary speaking up about Obama doing the exact same things.
I bet she’s asking the Dems to stop withholding funds for this as we speak. Well done hero. https://t.co/jVda29sB3y

Weren’t you the Secretary of State or something when the Obama administration started locking children in cages at the border? https://t.co/pU97f5ngPH

As she ponders ‘What Happened’ in the 2016 election, she should probably consider the fact that her opponent ran and won on doing what it takes to secure the southern border of the United States.
