Mika Brzezinski called
Ivanka Trump “sick” for thanking President
Donald Trump for reuniting
immigrant children and parents who were separated as a result of his own administration’s policies.
Brzezinski attacked the first daughter and other members of the Trump administration Friday after airing heart-wrenching footage of a Guatemalan mother seeing her 8-year-old daughter for the first time since they were forcibly separated at the U.S.-Mexico border 55 days earlier.
The footage was particularly difficult to watch “when you realize this happened because of policies in the United States of America,” Brzezinski said.
“For some reason, some people who work for President Trump, including his daughter, are twisting this and actually thanking President Trump for moments like this, moments he created,” she later noted.
Brzezinski continued: “How sick, how sick for someone in the White House to tweet ‘thank you’ to Donald Trump for these reunions. Because these reunions, they should have never happened. These children should never have been taken away from their parents. These children should have never been traumatized.”
After the president countermanded his administration’s family separation policy last month, Ivanka Trump tweeted a thank you to her dad for “taking critical action ending family separation at our border.”
