After Ivanka Trump was roasted on Twitter for posting a photo of herself holding her son – while her father’s policies have separated more than 700 children from their adult caregivers – Fox News conservatives sprang into Republican Rehab action.
On The Five this Tuesday, cohost Greg Gutfeld started the discussion by conflating the separations with reports on the Trump administration’s inability to account for about 1,500 immigrant children. However those 1,500 unaccounted-for children arrived unaccompanied at the border.
That is a separate issue from the more than 700 immigrant children that have been removed from adults claiming to be their parents. More than 100 of those children were under the age of 4.
“So as Trump cements his agenda through significant legislation, these folks have the vapors over imaginary discrimination,” Gutfeld said disingenuously. Then he had the nerve to attack the rest of the media for being dishonest. “It’s all the usual suspects: identity activists, the paranoids in pajamas – you know, The New York Times. Fake news is no longer a catchphrase, it’s a brand,” Gutfeld sneered.
