What's behind these attempts to normalize those who carried out America's concentration camps?
Oh, they are all singing a different tune now that they are out of power. Once they were forced out, they have been shunned by Trump’s people, while everyone else sees them as pariahs. Now that the walls are crumbling down around Trump, they are eager to speak out against him. Thanks, very brave of you.
The New York Times extolled John Kelly for opposing Trump policies--after he left his post. Kelly is on a bit of a rehabilitation tour. At Duke University, he said Trump’s family-separation policy “came as a surprise”. He was shocked. He was horrified. Except for the fact that before it happened, he did this:
As for the child-caging? Kelly did way worse than just justify it, which he did by saying that the children “will be put in foster care, or whatever.” He actually praised the detention centers, and now, he now profits from them...

They should be shunned by everyone. Everyone of them discussed at the link should be sent to Coventry for a very long time. No media. No rehabilitation. No trying to reframe the narrative.
