Hashtag fail? Two years after the first #BringBackOurGirls tweet not much has changed

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, who leads the #BringBackOurGirls campaign in Washington, said she has struggled to get more funding for security assistance in Nigeria.

Congresswoman Wilson didn't just support a twitter war, as though Boko Haram cared about twitter, she advocated and support security assistance to the troubled region. Now, of course, she blames President Donald Trump. When there's heavy lifting to be done, when somebody has to pay the price, she doesn't want to be around. Blame somebody else.

I'm pretty sure she only jumped on that bandwagon because of Moochelle.

Virtue signaling by opportunists. Hashtags don’t DO anything.

Just carrying on the Obama tradition of pouring mega dollars into African welfare.

Instead of social media, a Special MAGTF reinforced by a Ranger Co and 3 A-Teams were needed.

We don’t want to Americanize everything. In this case, we and select other countries - the good guys of the world - are assisting the African nations.

This may sound crazy because we never hear anything good out of Africa, but many nations in Africa are making progress economically, militarily and politically.

Where's Harvey? He wants his girls back too.

Wow!

An entire row of useless people.

An entire row of useless people.

Exactly right. None of them are wearing colorful ribbons. How do they expect to make the world a better place without wearing colorful ribbons?

[Persevero]

I think most of those girls have escaped or been rescued. Many in bad shape. At least, that’s what I read.

A small number escaped, IIRC; most are still missing. I believe some were bearing babies from their captors.

I never thought Obama was going to do anything about this because the perps were fellow Muslims; I was right.
