Morning Bits: Trump continues to traumatize children
By Jennifer Rubin

Let’s make the election about child separation, then. “President Donald Trump and his Cabinet are refusing to publicly back down from their intensely controversial practice of separating migrant families at the border, despite pressure from fellow Republicans to ease up on what critics are calling a heartless policy.”
Trump’s fake justification to keep traumatizing kids will not save his party. Hillary Clinton explains, “‘This is not happening because of the ‘Democrats’ law, as the White House has claimed,’ she said during remarks in New York. ‘Separating families is not mandated by law at all. That is an outright lie. It’s incumbent on all of us, journalists and citizens alike, to call it just that.'” Yup.
The Trump administration makes clear it is holding toddlers as hostages. “The Trump administration sought to blame Congress for the new policy of separating some families who arrive at the U.S. southern border, and it said only lawmakers could change that policy as part of a broader immigration overhaul.”
