During a Thursday photo op on the White House South Lawn, 200 sheriffs from around the country met with Trump to discuss security on the U.S.-Mexico border, but the president used the law enforcement gathering to accuse Democrats of explicitly supporting human traffickers.

“The border is like a different place … We’ve changed laws and we’ve done many different things,” said Trump to a crowd of sheriffs from 40 different states, all of which support hardline border enforcement policies. “We can’t get the Democrats to do anything. They won’t change any of the loopholes, and would make it so much easier, as you know. They won’t change loopholes. They won’t change asylum. They won’t do anything with asylum.”

The president continued by unequivocally putting Democrats in the same category as criminals who sell hard drugs and human beings they smuggle into America: “They want open borders, and, frankly, I think they want crime. But they want open borders. They want drugs. They want human trafficking. And it’s a disgrace.”

Despite the objectively false and hysterical nature of these presidential remarks, they were not covered by a single publication or network aside from CSPAN.

Curiously enough, Trump’s own administration — not Democrats — recently moved to indefinitely delay a $13.5 million grant to aid human trafficking victims.
