If you can’t beat ’em…trick ’em? It’s a tactic Democrats try to use but more often than not, it ends up exploding in their faces. Here’s just the latest example, via From Daily Caller:

House Democrats tweeted a photo from President Barack Obama’s administration to promote their investigation into “inhumane treatment” at the border before deleting the tweet Tuesday.

The Committee on Oversight and Reform announced a hearing advisory set for Wednesday titled “Kids in Cages: Inhumane Treatment at the Border” over Twitter. The hearing will be “examining” this alleged inhumane treatment after members of the committee witnessed the “grotesque treatment of children.”

What better way to earn points with emotional lefties than to show up at the border and cry?

Make sure there’s a cameraman nearby, though. Otherwise, it won’t count for much.

What’s funny is that even people who support AOC think she staged these pictures.

Her tweet:

I’ll never forget this because it was the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was becoming a nation that steals refugee children from their parents,& caged them.

We need to save these kids.

More kids died after this. To date, no one has been held accountable.

STAGED!

Reactions to the original pictures:

Great, but why post photos only of yourself, your reactions, and no children? I support your efforts but this looks too staged.

I love AOC but these images feel so staged, it undermines her credibility on these issues. This crisis is not about “ striking” photos of a Congresswoman, it is about DYING CHILDREN.
