In reply to the discussion: DEAFENING SILENCE - Watch: Top Trump Officials Refuse to Raise Hands to Defend Family Separation [View all]BigmanPigman
(51,585 posts)6. I heard part of this played on cable news
and the silence was deafening. They had to just keep repeating their answers about how separating children would have long term negative emotional and mental problems and they knew this BEFORE separating them. None said that they stood up to the admin and demanded that it be stopped. None of them blamed any individuals and the policies either. What a bunch of spineless losers! Good for Blumenthat for showing their faces to the public. It reminds me of the Nuremberg trails...only silence and no admission and no blame.
