Lara Trump talked up her father-in-law’s meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un – and accused people of being ‘hysterical’ about the explosive issue of child immigrants being separated from their parents.
Speaking to warm up a Trump campaign rally in Duluth, Lara Trump touted the summit while speaking beneath a banner that said ‘Promises Kept.’
‘It was just last week that we saw history happen. Donald Trump is the first president to ever meet with the leader of North Korea,’ she said. ‘This is historic,’ she told a crowd, to cheers about Trump’s Singapore summit.
‘And yet what is the only thing you hear if you turn on the television today or open the newspaper today? You hear about people coming into our country illegally, breaking our laws and paying the consequences for it right?’ she said sarcastically.
Then she referenced the child separation issue – just hours after the president did a 180 amid an outcry and signed an executive order stating that illegal immigrants would be incarcerated indefinitely along with their children when possible.
‘People are hysterical about it the media is going crazy about it,’ she told the crowd.
‘The craziest part is that this has been going on for years and years and years,’ she said, pointing to President Barack Obama, whose administration also separated children from their parents.
‘Where was the uproar? Where were the Democrats calling him out to do something to change it?’ she asked.
‘Sort of makes you wonder what the heck is going on out there doesn’t it?’ she continued. ‘The Democrats are desperate. ‘
