Not that you needed a reminder that Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee should not be taken seriously, but in case you were looking for one anyway, this should do nicely:
The tear-gassing of women and children at the border is an atrocity. It’s a violation of human rights. And it is a grotesque betrayal of our founding promise, as a nation built by immigrants.
I’ve called for @UN inspectors on the border, and I reiterate that call today. https://t.co/k5mXSs0oFU

Speaking of grotesque, how about that tweet? It’s pretty grotesque that a member of Congress would push such disingenuous, dishonest garbage.
Exaggerated lie much?

Border enforcement–against a rock-throwing mob, no less–is now considered tantamount to a war crime by the Lefthttps://t.co/g5NJSaGF6N

You should ask what kind of mindless automatons would purposely allow their children to be used as political pawns when the consequences were made very clear early on. That is the atrocity. People who deliberately endanger minors clearly will not contribute to this country.

Insane. So were you as concerned when the Obama administration did the same thing at the same exact location in 2013?
What would you propose law enforcement uses to disperse a large mob rushing the border? What would you have had them do? https://t.co/ooeHQVKcAK

P.s. the only reason any women and children were there is because they left the designated camp and tried to join the mob rushing the border instead of waiting for a chance to legally apply for asylum. The only people responsible are those that brought children there.

Not one of these insane people can explain what CBP is supposed to do about a mob of people rushing the border?
Would they have been happier if they used water cannons?

Opportunistic frauds like Barbara Lee aren’t actually interested in solving problems; they want to perpetuate them in order to stake out some kind of faux moral high ground. They live for chaos.
Was it an atrocity when they gasped Ferguson protesters? Or in 2013 when they tried to rush the border?
Asking for a friend who didnt hear you using this kind of language when Obama was in office.

I didn’t see this tweet when the same thing happened in 2013. How odd.
— Evoohs (@evooohs) November 26, 2018
Well, that was different.
Trying to find your tweet from 5 years ago when the Obama administration (rightly) did the exact same thing. I’m guessing there isn’t one though, is there, you hypocritical fraud?

Is this what you told Obama when the identical thing occurred in 2013 or are you just another hypocrite who depends on her followers to be ignorant of reality?
Oh, and it's NOT "women & children". Stop freakin' LYING.https://t.co/VYupkcyCG8

Stop lying? Please. A leopard can’t change her spots.
Guess there’s a moral to this story:
Never waste a crisis you can lie about. https://t.co/8NWodGyiHs
