Last night before holding a pair of Mississippi rallies in support of Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, Glorious Leader again said something really stupid.
The Washington Post reports:
“In some cases, you know, they’re not the parents,” Trump claimed. “These are people, they call ’em ‘grabbers.’ They grab a child because they think they’ll have a certain status by having a child. You know, you have certain advantages in terms of our crazy laws that, frankly, Congress should be changing.”
Pressed about his use of the term “grabbers” and whether he was suggesting the women photographed with children fleeing the tear gas were not the children’s real mothers, Trump said he was not and acknowledged he did not know the identities of those at the border crossing on Sunday.
“It’s a term that’s used because, as you know, many people, it’s a very violent, horrible thing, that they feel they have an advantage when they’re with a young child, and they call them ‘grabbers.’ . . . I don’t know who was there yesterday,” he said.
.@karentravers asked Pres. Trump how he felt seeing images of women and children running from tear gas:
“I do say why are they there? … Why is a parent running up into an area where they know the tear gas is forming and it’s going to be formed?” https://t.co/OqnAxJRgR2 pic.twitter.com/61Fq9M0m8P

Trump suggests without evidence that some tear-gassed migrants were “grabbers” who took others’ children https://t.co/90bDXsu8bt

Trump insists that the only way to stop “grabbers” is to tear gas them along with the children they’re “grabbing.” That will teach those innocent children not to be in the proximity of a “grabber.” Nice going toddlers.

She doubles down on the “grabbers” narrative President Trump has embraced: “It appears in some cases that the limited number of women and children in the caravan are being used by the organizers as ‘human shields’ when they confront law enforcement.”
