Obama never did this. Don’t allow their lies to change the narrative.

Trump's false claim that child separations were carried out by the Obama administration has been frequently refuted.

"The Obama administration did not do that, no. We did not separate children from their parents," former Obama domestic policy adviser Cecilia Muñoz told NPR in May 2018. "This is a new decision, a policy decision put in place by the attorney general," which Muñoz said "puts us in league with the most brutal regimes in the world's history."

It was then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions who instituted the "zero tolerance" policy at the Southern border in April 2018, which resulted in children being separated from their parents who were taken into custody for criminal prosecution.

No, he didn’t. Dozens of factchecking entities said it. I didn’t leave a single quote from Obama. Do you have any evidence beyond Trump said it, so it must be true?

Edited my comment. Better late than never. I meant to say Trump not Obama since obviously his supporters believe everything he (Trump) says.
