MSNBC Host Asks Ilhan Omar: Are You as Critical of Biden As You Were With Trump for Holding Kids in Cages?

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan asks Minnesota Rep, Ilhan Omar if is she is as critical of Joe Biden as she was with President Trump over holding "Kids in cages." Her answer is fairly enlightening,.

"You were extremely critical of the Trump Administration for putting kids in cages. Are you as critical of this Biden administration for also holding children in horrible conditions? Even if they say it's not their fault, it's what they inherited, the children are still suffering."

It's not because we don't have the resources or the ability to move kids through our system and reconnect them with their families.

You know, I didn't go into the border center where children are held, where these horrendous conditions exist.

I went to a secondary location where kids were living in a better condition, but still not an acceptable condition, that they shouldn't be there for a long period of time.

What those folks told us that were caring for these children is that there is an opportunity for the United States to deploy all agencies to the border to do a one-time processing of these children.

"I mean, the conditions that we are keeping children in, no children are living in - and in other borders, when people are fleeing their homes and to have these really horrific, traumatizing conditions to exist in the United States for children is quite shameful."
