[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, be specific, OP.  Exactly WHAT did she say that is a lie.  Exact quote, please.

Liberals sometimes have a tendency to make claims that aren’t always, ahem, accurate.  
So, to clarify, tell us exactly what she said that was a lie.  [/quote]

[quote]We do not have a policy of separating families at the border.  Period.[/quote]

Anytime any Trump admin uses "Period." to emphasize, he/she is lying through the teeth![/quote]

They don't. That's Federal law. Trump is fixing it temporarily because Congress won't do their job.[/quote]

There's that amnesia again...[/quote]

PP is correct.  They do not have a policy of separating families at the border.  
I agree with pp.  They were following the law.  [/quote]

When the law does not specifically say "separate families at the border" and the prior practice was not to do that (or to do it infrequently), and then you reverse course and start doing it very frequently -- that is a policy. There are usually multiple ways to interpret and enforce a law. The way in which an administration chooses to enforce a law is a policy. Ergo, this was policy. As admitted by administration officials. As now being reversed (supposedly) by executive order. An executive order cannot override a statute or regulation. But it can override or set policy.[/quote]
