We can’t believe we have to say it, but there is no way Joe Biden is writing any of these tweets.
Not to mention this one is especially bad because it highlights how hard the Obama administration (you know, back when he was the VP) fought to keep kids separated from their families. Take a look.
Children should be released from ICE detention with their parents immediately. This is pretty simple, and I can't believe I have to say it: Families belong together. https://t.co/11F5X71AO1

Families belong together.
Huh.
Too bad Joe’s ‘boss’ didn’t agree:
The Obama Administration argued, successfully, that it could keep parents separated from their children. Flores v. Lynch, 828 F.3d. 898 (9th Cir. 2016). https://t.co/48sB4fk8vZ

Oops.
I mean, come on … why didn’t Biden complain about the Obama Admin’s judicial victory when he was in the White House? pic.twitter.com/UTjOJFgBpL

BECAUSE, Jack!
It’s like Biden doesn’t remember the Obama administration … then again, we’re not sure Joe remembers what day it is or which office he’s running for but c’mon.
Obama's policy only separated kids that came with a criminal parent or a non relative. And policy was to keep them 72 hours before placing them with family or foster care. Trump's zero tolerance policy separated every child with indeterminate detention time. BIG DIFFERENCE.
