Except he didn't do that... that's right wing FAKE NEWS... just like these... Drudge Report Used Photo Of Children In Syria To Depict U.S. Border Crisis The young boys in the photo, which was shot in 2012 thousands of miles away from the U.S. border, aren’t even holding real guns. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/drudge-report-syria-us-border-photo_us_5b28cee0e4b0f0b9e9a4bc87 The Drudge Report featured an image of gun-wielding children photographed years ago in Azaz, Syria, alongside an article about immigrant children pouring into the United States. According to the photographer of the 2012 image, Christiaan Triebert, Drudge not only used the photo completely out of context ? the guns, he said, were toys ? they also featured it without crediting Triebert. He called it an “obscene misrepresentation” of the photo’s actual depiction: Christiaan Triebert ?@trbrtc Were gun-toting children photographed on the United States border? No. The @DRUDGE_REPORT used my photo of children holding toy guns in Syria without credit, a description, or attribution to illustrate a story about immigration to the US.

Drudge’s faux pas comes at a time when a chorus of voices nationwide, including those of many Republicans, are rising up in opposition to the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy. Launched last month, it seeks to prosecute more immigrants entering the country illegally, even if it means separating children from their parents. So far almost 2,000 children have fallen victim to this policy.
