Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boarded the first available plane to the border and, by early afternoon, could be seen shaking the chain-link fence of the Border Patrol facilities, demanding that they \u201cfree the kids from the cages.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a tearful press conference, demanding an end to the practice, saying, \u201cIf you start endangering children, I become a lioness.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>CNN featured numerous guests deriding the crisis at the border as \u201cinhumane\u201d and \u201ca stain on our democracy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In reality, none of these things happened. At least, not when it was announced that Biden was detaining a record number of migrant children in border control facilities.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Instead, these are all things that happened when it was announced that President Trump was engaging in a similar practice.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This time around, the same Leftist politicians and legacy media outlets are almost entirely silent on an issue they deemed a \u201conce in a generation scandal,\u201d just two years ago.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The same politicians now playing \u201cthe quiet game\u201d spent a year competing in a battle of \u201cwho can display the most righteous indignation\u201d when President Trump was in office. Their ability to constantly one-up each other in the never-ending quest to denounce Trump in the strongest words possible was, at times, awe-inspiring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One of the politicians engaging in said competition was the man now engaging in the practice he once claimed to despise: Joe Biden.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For example, in 2019, he<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joebiden\/status\/1177719172513615872?lang=en\"><span>tweeted<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cWe are not a country that detains migrant children indefinitely\u2026 we are a country that welcomes those in search of a better life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On the contrary, rather than breaking the pattern of detaining children, he\u2019s breaking the<\/span> <em><span>record<\/span><\/em> <span>for detaining children.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While campaigning for president in 2020, Biden even made his opposition to the detention of children at the border a core tenant of his immigration policy,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1277024411091075072?s=20\"><span>saying<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cchildren should be released from ICE detention with their parents immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, after winning the election it seems that Biden\u2019s priorities have changed. Maybe the media could ask him about his change of heart, if only he had held one single press conference since taking office,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/08\/politics\/joe-biden-solo-press-conference-record\/index.html\"><span>something<\/span><\/a> <span>every President in the last 100 years had done by this point in their first term.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But you won\u2019t see politicians on the Left demanding action. You won\u2019t see your woke friends on Instagram sharing infographics explaining the inherent racism in the practice of detaining children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last night, CNN \u2014 who spent a year invoking Trump\u2019s detainment of migrant children as evidence of his authoritarian tendencies \u2014 opened their primetime shows with passionate discussions regarding the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feud with the Royal Family.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Left\u2019s silence on Biden\u2019s border crisis proves that all along, they were more interested in opposing Trump while simultaneously cashing in on the chance to prove to their peers, followers, and friends how woke they are. It\u2019s yet more proof of the solely performative nature of the vast majority of the Left\u2019s outrage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Remember this indisputable fact the next time you see Democrat politicians and media figures clutching their proverbial pearls, pretending to care about the latest manufactured crisis they\u2019ve chosen to focus on that day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now, one question remains.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If President Trump was a \u201cNazi\u201d for detaining children at the border, what does that make President Biden?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Cabot Phillips is Managing Editor of The Daily Wire\u2019s Readers Pass.
