Kirstjen Nielsen, who presided over the Trump administration’s separation of thousands of migrant children from their parents as secretary of Homeland Security, claimed that a family separation policy did not exist.
“The truth is, there was no policy to separate families,” Nielsen told Anthony Scaramucci, another former Trump official, who had asked her to comment on the policy in a conversation streamed live as part of the SALT Conference.
Typical gaslighting, using a very thinly stretched technicality to deny reality. They did not set out with separating children from parents as the primary goal. That the separation was, in essence, mandated by the policy is certain, as is their knowledge of the separation.
Well, then, alrighty, those kids in cages, and the 1500+ they lost info on just never existed, right?
Present-day holocaust denier.
Another lying former member of the trump admin.
