Journalist plays tape of sobbing children during Kirstjen Nielsen's immigration briefing

A journalist at the daily White House press briefing Monday played an audio tape of crying illegal immigrant children while Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was defending the administration’s policy of separating families who enter the country illegally.

Near the end of Ms. Nielsen’s press briefing, while she was still talking, the audio recorded by ProPublica could be heard playing on a journalist’s laptop or other electronic device in the briefing room. The sound of the crying children went on for more than 30 seconds; it wasn’t clear who was playing the tape during Ms. Nielsen’s presentation.

The recording of the sobbing of 10 Central American children, separated from their parents one day last week by U.S. immigration authorities at the border, went viral earlier in the day. The children scream “Mami” and “Papá” repeatedly.

That was not a journalist. That was a provocateur.

Said it before...load up the “families” and drop them off in DC and the media corridor around NYC. Let them deal with it.

If anyone had any illusions left that the Press was unbiased they should be gone now

They should ask the journo why they’re playing a tape of Hillary supporters still upset by the loss.

I guess this issue polls well for Dems...all this coming from the same pollsters who predicted President Hillary’s landslide win.

Yet preborn abortion victim children don’t even get the chance to cry before they are killed.

I don’t think Pro Publica has press credentials. What I heard was that they fed the tape to an immigration lawyer who fed it to the press.

Then DHS neefs to pull that persons press credentials.

The press needs to be treated like the enemy and yank press access if they cross a Line.

The WH press room is a disgrace.

But Never Trumper Raj Shah probably likes it that way .
