The NRA is promoting the ridiculous allegation that children whove been ripped apart from their families are being held in facilities that are too nice.
Chuck Holton, a correspondent for the gun extremist organizations propaganda outlet, NRA-TV, made the extraordinary claim during a segment discussing the Trump administrations harsh anti-family policy.
Holton was attempting to defend the assault on families by falsely alleging that the Trump policy was essentially the same as President Barack Obamas. But Trump chose to differentiate himself from both Obama and George W. Bush before him by prosecuting all border crossers, triggering family separation.
Holton then took his argument further and said, Ive visited those facilities. Those facilities, if anything, are too nice.
He later added that the children were kept in a very safe, secure environment with hot showers, probably for the first time in their lives, with three hot meals a day, with games to play and education and health screenings. He even marveled that they were given free phone calls back to their homes.
