The sheer lack of consistency from the political left and their allies in the liberal media is not merely a matter of shifting opinions; it is a calculated strategy of perpetual opposition. They leap from one manufactured outrage to the next, with their only guiding principle being the desire to attack President Trump and Republicans. This cynical approach ensures that their arguments are built on a foundation of sand, crumbling instantly when confronted with their own recent statements. Their outrage is not born of principle, but of pure political opportunism, and they become apoplectic when anyone has the temerity to hold up a mirror and remind them of what they championed just five minutes ago.
This was put on full display during a CNN panel discussion, where commentator Scott Jennings bravely attempted to confront this glaring double standard. The discussion centered on the Trump administration’s lawful and moral effort to reunite unaccompanied minors who entered the country illegally with their families in their home nations. Jennings expertly highlighted the stunning intellectual dishonesty of the left’s newfound position. “We’re for child separation now from their families now. We used to be against that — now, I guess we’re for it,” Jennings stated, perfectly encapsulating the absurd hypocrisy on display.
The liberal panelists, unable to grapple with the simple logic of reuniting a child with their parent in their home country, could only sputter with indignation. They had spent years screaming about the moral evil of family separation, but when President Trump moves to actually reunite families, they suddenly find every excuse to oppose it. Jennings cut through their disingenuous narrative with clarity, explaining, “These children were abandoned here, somehow. They’ve been sent here for some period of time. They’re trying to reunite them with their families where they’re from, with a government that has asked for their return and wants to facilitate their return.”
He further noted the ultimate irony that this commonsense policy of family reunification is being blocked by the very administration that created the situation. “This all happened under the Biden administration. Now, a Biden judge is trying to keep them here and to further this policy of keeping them separated from the families that they have in Guatemala,” Jennings added. “Again, everybody is upset about this, and I don’t know why. They’re trying to reunite them with their families.”
Dems are suddenly IN FAVOR OF child separation as soon as the Trump administration attempts to reunite children with their deported parents in Guatemala.

The liberal media’s entire framework collapses under the weight of its own contradictions, revealing a political agenda utterly devoid of reason or good faith.
