Former Republican lawmaker is ashamed of Trump’s immigration policy | Salon.com

'Former Republican lawmaker Charlie Dent, who officially resigned from Congress last month, told CNN on Tuesday that President Donald Trumpâ\x80\x99s family separation policy is a catastrophe â\x80\x94 both from a humanitarian perspective and from a political perspective for the GOP.While discussing Trumpâ\x80\x99s decision to double down on separating immigrant families, Dent said that there was absolutely no way that the president and his party would benefit from cruelty to children.â\x80\x9cThis is a disaster as a policy,â\x80\x9d he said. â\x80\x9cAnd the politics of this is, I think, just terrible.â\x80\x9dDent then went on to trash the Trump administration for insisting that it has no choice but to separate children from their parents because of current laws. '

'In fact, Dent noted, this was a deliberate policy choice that neither the George W. Bush or Obama administrations ever made.â\x80\x9cThatâ\x80\x99s just a bunch of bull, letâ\x80\x99s face it,â\x80\x9d he said. â\x80\x9cWe know that separating the children from the parents is not something Congress has ordered. '

' This is what the administration has ordered.â\x80\x9dAnalyst David Gregory similarly shredded the Trump White House for using immigrant children as hostages in exchange for border wall funding â\x80\x94 and he said that he hoped we have finally reached a point where GOP congressional leaders will put their feet down.â\x80\x9cItâ\x80\x99s just so cynical on top of being immoral,â\x80\x9d he said. â\x80\x9cI hope there is a line that you cannot cross politically and survive.â\x80\x9dCheck out the major news stories of the day'
