Before we get to our story, I want you to sit back and let that sink in for a minute.
The United States Attorney General was on TV last night making sure the world understands the differences between U.S. zero-tolerance border policy, and Nazi concentration camps.
And for this, he used as his soapbox the TV show of a woman who said the border detention centers were “Essentially summer camps”
But oddly, and sickeningly, that is not the worst of it.
The worst of it is the actual comparison he attempted to make.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Monday that comparing the Trump administration’s separation of families at the border to Nazi Germany is a “real exaggeration,” noting that the Nazis were keeping Jews from leaving the country.
“It’s a real exaggeration,” he said to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “In Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country, but this is a serious matter.
The Nazis were keeping Jews in the country.
We’re keeping the brown people out.
See? Totally the opposite of each other.
Mr. Sessions’ misguided claim about the main intention of Nazi concentration camps, alone, would be grounds for his ouster in any normal administration.
But the use of this bizarre notion used to distinguish US Border Policy???
To recap:
The Attorney General of The United States of America just favorably compared his very own zero-tolerance border policy to Nazi death camps.
And failed.
This is where we are, people. This is what Sessions, Sanders, Miller and Trump are trying very hard to make us into.
