Democrats Rapidly Backtracking After Calling Border Situation a 'Manufactured' Crisis

In January, Democrats derided President Donald Trump's efforts to provide humanitarian aid along America's southern border by denigrating the issue as an artificial crisis manufactured by the president.

"This is a humanitarian crisis. A crisis of the heart, and a crisis of the soul," Trump said, noting that the funding package he laid before Congress contained "An urgent request for humanitarian assistance and medical support."

The President has manufactured a humanitarian crisis.

100%. 0%. "I haven't heard anyone say it's a manufactured crisis for quite some time," Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said, according to The Hill.

"In recent weeks it's gotten clearer and clearer there is a dramatic humanitarian crisis, again, at the border," Democrat Sen. Christopher Coons of Delaware said, while still throwing shade at Trump for not addressing the crisis properly.

"The phrase manufactured crisis could be misunderstood as suggesting it's not a real crisis. It is a real crisis. There are people actually suffering. There are children dying. There are families in distress. It is a crisis," Coons said.

"The president seemed to me to be getting more cooperation from Mexico than he is from congressional Democrats on dealing with the crisis at the border," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Tuesday, according to The Washington Post, when negotiations for a deal were at an impasse.
