Did you catch this moment during last night’s Democratic debate? Joe Biden dropped quite the bombshell:
Hold on. Joe Biden seriously said the Obama administration “didn’t lock people up in cages”?

Yes. Yes he did:

Either he really doesn’t remember the Obama years, or he’s lying through his teeth. Both scenarios make him look bad.

LIE: Biden says he didn't lock unaccompanied children in cages while Obama was president. They did.

Biden: We didn’t separate families and put people in cages!

Biden: "We didn't lock people up in cages'
Sadly, they did. I wrote about it last year: https://t.co/8cykGrzTfe

I can’t watch this any further. And FYI, Biden is lying about “cages.” Those partitions being called cages were from the Obama Admin. That’s easily searchable.

Jorge Ramos’ framing is that deportations are bad unto themselves & need to be apologized for. Suggests Latinos shouldn’t trust Biden because those deportations occurred.
Biden then claims he and Obama never put people in cages or separated families. That’s simply false.

I care to learn exactly nothing else about this debate. That is a bald-faced lie. The pics of kids in cages that went viral in 2018 were from 2014; record numbers of deportations; etc etc etc. Good night.

He said this last week on Colbert’s show too and virtually no one in the media called him on it https://t.co/qkHUSwmEWW

Well, even CNN’s calling him on it this time:
FACT CHECK: Joe Biden said, “We didn’t lock people up in cages, we didn’t separate families.”
Both of Biden’s claims are false. While the Obama administration didn’t systematically separate families, it did happen under certain circumstances. #DemDebate https://t.co/eWmlD55irr pic.twitter.com/mXh2k1ZxG8

One notable false claim tonight: Biden saying of the Obama administration and immigration, "We didn't lock people up in cages." They did, including children; there are lots of photos. https://t.co/wwMrOEAbIF
