Former Pentagon spokesman George Little suggested Saturday that the Trump administration's practice of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.Mexico border undermines First Lady Melania Trump's "Be Best" initiative.
The initiative, rolled out by the first lady last month, promotes the well-being of children and their social, emotional and physical health.
"I think its safe to say that if there was any shred of substance or meaning left to the #BeBest campaign, it disappeared instantly with the forced separation of parents from their children," Little, who served in the Obama administration, tweeted.

The Trump administration has come under intense public scrutiny in recent weeks for its "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which seeks to prosecute migrants who enter the U.S. illegally.

He feeds on our hate for him. Hes a sicko performing in his comfort zone.

(10,611 posts)Like everything else they they've tried with Melania, it gets a day of media coverage, then they don't do jack shit.
I'll bet money they haven't one single update they could give, but they keep flinging bullshit around and the media keeps chasing their latest shiny object, so no one questions it.
