Feinstein: "Not an exaggeration to say Trump/Sessions essentially orphan 100s of immigrant children"

[kpete]

Crime against humanity:

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the policies of President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have essentially orphan hundreds of immigrant children,” said Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein during opening remarks at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “Even worse are the stories we heard about that bad separations and the bad conditions in which they were held.”

1. It is a crime against humanity.

[malaise]

12. Ditto n/t

[meadowlander]

2. Missing a "0" I suspect.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Wow,a Senator admitting the real truth

About friggin time,now fix this travesty .

[Hekate]

7. Amazes me how people outside CA really don't know my Senator. She's a Democrat.

She works really hard. She opposes Trump.

And one more thing: like Senator Blumenthal, who questioned the Trumpists directly today, she's a Jew who remembers WWII. You wonder why I would even bring that up? Well, based on the small sample of my own family, my husband finds this so gut-wrenching he refuses to even talk about it with me. I had insomnia for at least a week after the news broke -- but for him this is family history.

10. Have know of Senator Feinstein for quite some time.

She does carry a ton of clout ,only wish she would have raised holy hell publicly months ago. Surprised we have not heard a similiar statement from her many months ago.

[Hekate]

11. Your snark implied she is complicit. I object.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Whoa,

She is not complicit in any way. She should have stated this fact early,especially during Sessions Hearings.

14. However late and timidly

[BigmanPigman]

4. Blumenthal let them have an opportunity

to "come clean" today and NONE of them would admit the admin did this on purpose, knowing that they never intended to unite families and intended to scare immigrants from even considering trying to come here for safety from their dangerous conditions in their home countries. They all sat there and said NOTHING! Ivanka is now sharing family photos again now that Dear Daddy signed the Exec Order clearing up this mess and is so glad it is all over and everyone is living happily ever after.

5. Is America okay with 400+ kids never seeing their parents again?

[Hekate]

8. I'm going with "thousands," based on earlier reports

As for whether America is okay with this, I doubt it. Right now the King of All Deplorables is in charge, but the majority did not vote for him."

[FiveGoodMen]

6. But it IS an exaggeration to say that the D party is really, really steamed up about it

[Hekate]

9. On what do you base this charge? I see minority-party Senators & Representatives speaking out...

...on Trump issues daily.
