It’s not really unusual for feminist harpie Jessica Valenti to lie. But you’d think that after getting called out on her B.S. so many times, she’d find a way to be a little less brazen about it.
Nope:
Almost as if Jessica Valenti doesn’t give a sh*t about the truth.

Since Jessica’s evidently too lazy and/or stupid to think before she spouts off, let’s help her out.
1. So I’m just going to start a thread of all the faith groups/faith leaders condemning either the Trump admin’s zero tolerance policy that separates families (and/or asylum change), Sessions’ argument that the Bible supports its enforcement, or both.
Here are a few.

2. The president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops condemned both policies in a statement, and individual bishops have called for inspection of detention centers, protests, and possible “canonical penalties” for those who enforce the policies. https://t.co/aWBBdX7kzP

3. The Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution on Tuesday at its Dallas meeting calling for immigration reform that maintains “the priority of family unity.” https://t.co/2ekx7WYZGi

4. Franklin Graham, longtime supporter of Trump, said of the practice: “It’s disgraceful, and it’s terrible to see families ripped apart and I don’t support that one bit.” https://t.co/9HrSaj40wW

11. Another group of evangelical leaders condemned the policy in a letter.
Signers included Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, who read scripture at Trump’s inauguration, as well as Leith Anderson, President of the National Association of Evangelicals https://t.co/v7PavkIkIu

13. AND…
Russell Moore, President of the SBC’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
Richard Stearns, President of World Vision

25. World Vision, an evangelical Christian organization, speaks out against the policy. https://t.co/YNkIYtCcL6
— Jack Jenkins (@jackmjenkins) June 16, 2018
27. American Baptists condemn the border policy AND had this to say to Sessions: “No responsible Christian theologian would assert that Romans 13 … supports the horrific separation of children from parents that we are witnessing at the present time.” https://t.co/ShBBjvao2W
— Jack Jenkins (@jackmjenkins) June 16, 2018
31. Head of Evangelical Covenant Church also appears to have signed on to the letter from evangelical leaders criticizing the policy: https://t.co/ZDIGH0lbfI

Is that enough for you, Jessica?

Here is Charlie Camosy’s op-ed, Jessica:

There’s also these:
Republicans and conservatives — in varying ways — break from Trump on migrant family separation.

And there are so many more where those came from.

The big problem with the Trump administration policy isn't the policy — which is justifiable on legal grounds — but the stated preference by some in the administration of using parental separation as a lever to stop illegal immigration. That's deeply wrong and stupid to boot.

The policy is not only dumb, it's ineffective. https://t.co/K5d7UJncnW

Literally two hills I am willing to die on:
1. Separating children from parents without just cause is immoral and cruel, and there has to be a better way;
2. Open borders/catch and release is an insane policy position…and there has to be a better way.

Short version:
While there's much to say about how catch-and-release policies led us here, family separation is wicked & needs to be stopped https://t.co/tYepaf2MQe— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) June 18, 2018
I’m lucky. I got to hold this nugget in my arms. I still get to. Imagine you’re a mommy who can’t, because of this awful Trump policy at the border that rips children away from their families. THIS MUST STOP. pic.twitter.com/mt584HtdHj

Our editorial in Monday’s NY Post: Stop separating families—“It’s not just that this looks terrible in the eyes of the world. It is terrible: at least 2,000 children ripped from their parents’ arms, sometimes literally, in just the first six weeks.” https://t.co/GJy2GQkbwW

Pro-lifers, you harm the cause of life when you shrug at child separation. The inherent worth of every human, American or not, doesn't end in the womb.
— Kimberly Ross (@SouthernKeeks) June 18, 2018
When can we expect an apology, Jessica?
You follow a lot of pro-life groups? Maybe get your head out of your…let’s say, bubble…once in a while. https://t.co/C0jrR63Hnz
