Hillary Clinton, who apparently lives in an alternate universe, tweeted that Republicans were to blame for “allowing” the Trump administration to put children in cages with not enough food or water:
Two-year-olds in detention. Children forced to take care of other children. Not enough food or water.
Demand accountability from your Republican representatives for allowing this administration to cage children and keep them in unconscionable conditions. https://t.co/q67l0dk2pl

She’s basically playing off the comments by AOC that these were concentration camps. While she clearly doesn’t go that far, her comments are still ridiculous for the same reason AOC’s were ridiculous. These people are coming HERE in massive numbers and overwhelming the system. If they don’t want to be in these migrant facilities, they can go home.
What got Dan Crenshaw’s goat, however, was that she’s blaming Republicans when it’s the Democrats who have thus far refused to fund the humanitarian crisis. Remember when the NY Times told Democrats to fund it? That was back in early May.
Crenshaw called Hillary’s comments “insane gaslighting”:
What insane gaslighting.
You know Dems have refused to support funding for resources at the border & have offered no solutions.
So tell us, if you were President, how would you manage hundreds of thousands of people illegally crossing our border and dragging children with them? https://t.co/uzNWCtP83b

Oh I can tell you exactly what she’d do. She’d do away with the law and let them all go free into the US to disappear and then argue they should be made citizens so they could vote for Democrats forever.
Crenshaw then called her out for fundraising off of the very thing she’s decrying, calling it shameless:
After blatantly lying, you’re also fundraising for “rights of immigrants” using ActBlue, the Democratic Party fundraising platform, so that donor data is collected for the Democrats.
Absolutely shameless. https://t.co/JUYZda7hJl
