The press conference I just witnessed outside of the Clint detention center, was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever covered.

The courage of these women to move forward with a press conference, knowing full-well the crowd they were speaking to, speaks louder than any of the protesters there. Here is

Here is
@AyannaPressley’s speech outside the#clint detention center. The protesters who call out “fake news” refuse to even listen to those who literally just saw it with their own eyes. How can you learn the truth when you refuse to even listen?pic.twitter.com/SSFhwPdhWU6 replies 46 retweets 98 likesShow this thread -
Thank you
@AOC, for continuing to speak over those who refuse to face the reality of what is happening in our country. This presser speaks volumes of your courage & unfortunately how far we still have to go.#Clintpic.twitter.com/TkVSE8aLei4 replies 27 retweets 89 likesShow this thread -
Thank you for bearing witness
@RepBarragan. I can’t imagine touring two facilities in one day and wanting to share what you saw, only to be met by a crowd who lacked the decency and morality to listen to your experience. We hear you, the world hears you, the children hear you.

“You have to outwork hate. You have to outwork it. Not only with love, but trying to bring enough strength to push back against this type of hate. This is so un-American.” -

Here is one argument between a human rights activist and a Trump supporter following the
@HispanicCaucus presser. It ends with someone using hate speech. Take a wild guess who...pic.twitter.com/d9CseW6Qcj8 replies 34 retweets 53 likesShow this thread -
Here is the same woman from an earlier argument she had with an actual attorney. Please watch until the end. “I don’t care about judges. Judges don’t do shit!”

I always try to find the best in people. But after witnessing people who were protesting for the continued abuse of children and their refusal to listen to those who just toured the facilities... I unfortunately think some are too far gone.

Replying to @andrewkimmel
Thank you, Andrew. Today is my birthday. I am 67 yrs. old. I have seen a lot of tragedies in my lifetime, but never the degree of hate I am seeing since Trump became president. Spewing such hate where little children are crying for their mommies and daddies makes my heart bleed.
