Women for Trump chair: 'I cried leaving my dog last night'

Women for Trump chair Amy Kremer went on CNN’s Erin Burnett “Out Front” with Joan Walsh, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, and April Ryan, White House correspondent for Urban Radio.

Walsh noted that the audio recently released of children sobbing for their parents is heart wrenching and explained that the agents and social workers aren’t allowed to comfort them or hold them.

“There’s a story that a young teenager had to change the diaper of a toddler because the people in charge didn’t feel like they were authorized to change diapers,” Walsh said. “They don’t have the right people in place. They are not doing the right thing. They don’t have the right facilities. This is child abuse, and it’s being done in our name and it’s got to stop.”

Kremer, on the other hand, dismissed the children’s sobs comparing it to leaving her dog for Atlanta on the previous night.
“I mean, as a mom, I feel for these kids,” she claimed. “My gosh, when I left Atlanta last night, I cried leaving my dog.”

Because that's what she was begging them to do, and it would be rude to turn her down.

Except she's a trump fan so she doesn't know shit.

capacity. They aren't capable of critical thinking.. only twisting themselves into pretzels to protect their cult leader for whatever reason. We're know they're racist, bigoted assholes who approve of a Lying sexual predator.

Good point about choosing to leave her dog, spooky.. they have no hearts or souls just like trump.

Hell, they think it’s okay that American kids get shot at school! There is no talking to these people. They’re souless.

responsibility for these children without also preparing for their basic needs. Clean diapers are a health issue for babies, toddlers, and the other children with them.
