Late in the Rachel Maddow Show live broadcast on MSNBC, the host received word about the breaking Associated Press story that there are three newly discovered detention centers that are specifically for babies and toddlers taken by the U.S. government for migrant children. Watch as Maddow attempts to read the lede on live television.
These detention centers are absolutely revolting. These babies are being stolen and will many will NEVER be reunited with their parents. From the Associated Press:
Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.
Before that breaking news alert from Maddow, she outlined how this outrage, this anger we are all feeling is part of the Donald Trump plan. They want this. They feed on it. They think this cruelty plays well with their base and will motivate their base to the polls.
