Border Drowning Blamed on Trump [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 30 June 2019 | John Semmens

Photos of a father and daughter's bodies on the bank of the Rio Grande River sparked outrage at President Trump. Former Vice President Joe Biden called the photo "gut-wrenching" and another manifestation of "the unconscionable cruelty we're seeing at our border."

"We didn't see this kind of tragedy when Barack and I ran things," Biden recalled. "As Barack would've said if he were still alive 'this is not who we are.' One of my responsibilities as vice-president was to be ready 24/7 to strip down and swim to the rescue. You know, I'm really a good swimmer. The Secret Service can attest to that. What voters need to consider is whether they want a president who is a proven swimmer or a guy like Trump who can only ogle women wearing swimsuits."

Rival for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, seconded Biden's take, saying that "Trump is responsible for these deaths. He's visited the border on several occasions, but not once did he ever jump into the river to save a struggling swimmer." Beto admitted "I can't say I'm as strong a swimmer as Vice-President Biden, but I can speak Spanish and would be more than willing to shout encouragement to swimmers in a language they could understand. All I ask is that voters keep in mind the fact that neither Trump nor Biden can speak Spanish."

The libs want us to build a bridge so the illegals won’t have to swim.

You could have picked a better topic to satirize. Shame on you.

The satire is focused on the insane reaction of blaming Trump for the tragedy.

Illegal border crossings have resulted in the deaths of thousands during the administrations of Republicans and Democrats. Families were held in detention. The famous photos of children in cages were actually taken while Obama was president. Yet, to listen to Democrats and the media Trump is the only one criticized. Biden and O’Rourke pointing the finger at Trump is pure demagoguery. That is what is being satirized.

Bla, bla, bla. Tell me something I don’t know.

You should be ashamed of yourself for exploiting the death of a father and his young daughter.
