We’ve watched for months now as the media have attempted to memory-hole the fact that “putting kids in cages” dates back to the Obama administration. We’ve watched them wildly contort themselves to make it look like the Trump administration is deporting innocent illegal aliens on an unprecedented scale.

Their tactics may not fool us, but they appear to have done the trick with college students. Campus Reform media director Cabot Phillips spoke with some of the future leaders of America about immigration policy and you’ll no doubt be shocked to learn that they’ve been decidedly misinformed:

Students say Trump deporting illegal immigrant criminals is ‘white supremacist.’ Then they find out Obama did the same thing ??? pic.twitter.com/07Y6KVLbri — Cabot Phillips (@cabot_phillips) July 18, 2019

It certainly is eye-opening, isn’t it?

Faceplant.

…“Well Obama was just more humane in how he deported people” Just admit you don’t know jack and move along. — Courtney Shadegg (@CShadegg) July 18, 2019

When shown Obama’s own deportation quote & deportation numbers: “Uh, uh, uh…Orange Man Bad.” — EverymanConservative (@EverymanVoice) July 18, 2019

Kudos, though, to the student who cited this as evidence of hypocrisy. He’s absolutely right.

This ignorance is direct product of media bias. FYI. This is what happens when media considers itself an arm of the Democrat party. https://t.co/KcuxtwuDXn — RBe (@RBPundit) July 18, 2019
