Yesterday morning Ivanka Trump posted this warm photo of her son in her arms as they were having a cute mother, son moment:

But shortly afterward the left went ballistic over the photo, attacking her viciously for posting the photo when 1500 kids were being RIPPED from their parents and being ‘lost’:

This in the midst of children being ripped from their parents at the border because of her father and administration. Do these people have any capacity of anything other than being incredibly self-absorbed? https://t.co/5g8UIZIVP8 — Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) May 27, 2018





Dear @IvankaTrump,



Would you also love your Sunday if government authorities snatched away your sweet child and dragged him into a cold, dark detention facility?



Signed,



American people who have not lost their moral compass https://t.co/QO68ZXPiSN — The Hummingbird 🐦 (@SaysHummingbird) May 28, 2018

Isn't it the just the best to snuggle your little one -- knowing exactly where they are, safe in your arms? It's the best. The BEST. Right, Ivanka? Right? https://t.co/X79r8aWInc — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) May 27, 2018

What a nasty souless little Troll sending this deliberately inflammatory tweet. Ivanka is fully cognizant of the headlines today and here she preens and poses and gloats while Brown Mothers' have their babies taken from their arms... #WhereAreTheChildren https://t.co/FsfQhI0d4z — Nadine van der Velde 🕊(she/her) (@nadinevdVelde) May 28, 2018

Of the 1,475 mothers in the news this weekend, only one was available to be photographed with her child. #WhereAreTheChildren https://t.co/gUDJbwTqpf — Richard Hine (@richardhine) May 28, 2018







And the list goes on and on and on.

But as we explained over the weekend, this story of the lost 1475 kids are not as it seems. These children weren’t ripped from their parents. They were unaccompanied minors sent over the border, as explained by a Vox reporter:

Good morning, everyone! I’m seeing a lot of tweets about how 1,475 children “taken from their parents” were lost by HHS. That’s wrong. Most children sent to HHS—before last fall, ALL children sent to HHS—arrived in the US as unaccompanied minors. — Dara Lind (@DLind) May 25, 2018

The original story published by @nixonron in April—which some of us have been citing/talking about since then—makes clear we’re talking about 1475 of 7K kids HHS tried to contact from Oct-Dec 2017, ie who’d been placed w/sponsors before then. https://t.co/XwBPFx5xVG — Dara Lind (@DLind) May 25, 2018

Lind goes on to point out that many of the families that took the 1500 children may have gone off the grid:

FYI, another point about this: we do not know how many of these children weren’t located because they and their relatives in the US (who might even be their parents!) made the decision to go off the grid to reduce deportation risk. — Dara Lind (@DLind) May 26, 2018

The point is that the media has lied about this topic and gotten the left into a fit over it, and now they are viciously taking it out on Ivanka Trump who just wanted to post a cute photo of her little boy. Talk about despicable.
