Not just that, people who should've known better kept on using photos of kids in cages that were literally taken under the Obama administration to insist that Trump was uniquely evil, including members of Congress and mainstream publications, even months (maybe years?) after the fact they were from the Obama era was firmly established. Not just that either. For example, the fricking Associated Press ran an investigative piece about immigrant kids being handed over to forced labour traffickers that was 100% open about the fact its purpose was to attack Trump's immigration policies, even though if you looked at the dates every incident it described happened under Obama. That didn't stop everyone on social media interpreting it in the intended fashion.
- tomp 6y agoDo you have a link to AP story? Genuinely curious to read it
- boogies 6y agoDitto. I looked and found this short 2017 story by the AP about laborers hidden on property “since mid-2015”, but it doesn’t mention their age. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-forced-labor-20170830-story.html https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-forced-labor-20...
