Obama Criticizes Trump, Ignores Own Record of Separating Families

Former President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump’s enforcement of the border laws but failed to acknowledge that his own administration also prosecuted families at the border.

“To watch those families broken apart in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?” Obama said in a post on Facebook. “Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?”

The former president commented on the issue on Wednesday evening, recognizing World Refugee Day.

You expected something different from Obama?

He ignores his own record because he knows he was involved in unlawful acts.

Always very transparent - isn't that what he said also. He needs to keep his hole shut - that goes for his classless wife who loves the 📷.
