For a party with a fanbase who calls everyone who calls out injustices and bigotry “snowflakes,” there has sure been a lot of whining from the right after Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was tossed out of a restaurant in Virginia because of her defense of the detainment and separation of migrant children.

On Sunday, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) hit back at Sander’s complaints and lies about the incident.

His response was a direct rewording of Sander’s tweet in which she described the incident.

Of course, there’s nothing true about Sander’s tweet. She has no respect for the American people when she stands in front of them and pushes the president’s lies and justifies his mistreatment of children. She has no respect for the lives and safety of children while she helps keep them detained and traumatized. She certainly has no respect for the press when she mocks them and makes snarky remarks about their intelligence (which is laughable in its irony).

Respect is a two-way street. When a person chooses to dismiss and demean others in order to make herself look good, they should expect to be treated the same way.

Rep. Lieu has worked to end this policy. Speaking in front of Congress, Lieu introduced his new bill and brought the house down (pun totally intended).

‘The Trump-driven policy of separating families at the border is inhumane and un-American. Like the President’s grandfather, my parents—to use Trump’s own phrasing—‘infested’ America. As their son, as a Member of Congress and as a proud American, I get the chance to fight for human decency. That’s what Reps. Nadler, Lofgren, Gutierrez, Jayapal, Panetta and I are pushing for with our ‘Keep Families Together Act’. Trump’s family separation policy runs counter to everything our country stands for and we’ll do everything in our power to stop it.’

Following that powerful introduction, Lieu played audio of the children in detention centers. It was uncomfortable to hear but a perfect way to get his point across.

Twitter appreciated Lieu’s efforts. See some of their comments below:
