Womp, Womp: Despite Twitter Rage from Progressives and Their Allies the Terminally Outraged Never Trump Liberal Republicans, It Turns Out the Child with Downs Syndrome was Rescued from Criminal Traffickers

Ohhhhh.

So you mean the 12 hour freak-out over Corey Lewandowski expressing skepticism over a Democrat Talking Point Machine's half-remembered (and apparently false) anecdote was just another case of butthurt people raging over the results of an election now more than 18 months in the past?

It's not just "the media" -- it's also the perpetually aggrieved Never Trump atheist-evangelist liberal Republicans.

Here's AllahPundit, covering himself:

Seeing the usual mix of online reaction to this today between "fake news/he was misunderstood/he was taken out of context" and "hell yeah!" Plus a new one: "The little girl mentioned in the clip wasn’t separated under Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy" Right, but Corey didn’t know that, did he? His intent is clear.

I read his intent as scoffing at a typical attack on the concept of border enforcement via a sketchy human-shield tug-the-heartstrings anecdote by a Democrat Party talking points machine.

How do you read it, Allah? Oh yes: That he hates children with Downs Syndrome.

Because Cult of Trump or something.

Incidentally, given any large population -- and I'd say years and years of people flooding across the border with children who are sometimes not their own, just Loaner Children to cross the border with, because they know the previous policy was to largely let such illegal migrants into the country so long as they were accompanied by an Underaged Pawn-- I'd expect that there would occasionally be a child with Downs Syndrome, as well as children with epilepsy, children with palsy, mentally retarded children, blind children, children missing a limb, etc.

The law of large numbers tells you it's guaranteed you'll have all sorts of Heartbreaking Tales given the millions streaming across our borders.

Does this mean we should go back to catch-and-release? I guess according to our Super-Conservative Truth Warriors, as well as (coincidentally enough!) the Democratic Media Complex they take as unimpeachable sources of information, that's exactly what it means.

None of this pull-the-heartstring human-shield stuff changes the fact that Obama incentivized illegal immigrants to bring a kid (not necessarily their own) with them to get on the catch-and-release gravy train, an incentive that must be ended.

Apparently these children are hardy enough for a dangerous migration from central America and trekking across inhospitable deserts, but can't possibly survive a month of separation from their parents (or... travelling companions) while the latter are prosecuted.

Allah says he doesn't even know why people vote for any party any longer:

So. On the one hand we have the party of baby jails. And on the other we have the party of open borders, of abortion up to the moment of crowning, of campus mobs and "anti"-fascists...

I don't know why anyone votes in American elections anymore.

Well good. That's moving another step closer to abandoning the impolite fiction that the NeverTrumpers are anything other than Democrat-leaning independents.

Speaking of which, Allah has some company in his own migration: His fellow super True Conservative, MSNBC fixture Steve Schmidt, had dramatically announced (or re-announced, who knows) that he's not a Republican any longer.

Cucks Gonna Cuck: Apparently, Lewandowsky's scoffing response is disgusting even though subsequent reporting proved that scoffing was the correct response:

I am just marveling now at how AllahPundit took a meme whose meaning is almost completely unknown -- "womp, womp" -- and sagely pronounced: "His intent was clear."

Oh? "Womp womp" has an agreed-upon definition by which intent may be clearly inferred?

Seems to me that the most one can say it "clearly" means is a generalized calling of "bullshit."

Which... turns out to have been accurate.

But, for our liberal Republican (?) friends: Facts don't really matter any more. It's all feelings.

Which puts them on record as supporting yet another foundational assumption of their close cousins, the progressive Left.

The only guy I've ever heard say "womp womp" is Diversity and Comics, though I have no idea specifically what it means, or how he intends it to be taken.

He seems to use it in two situations:

1. When yet another Marvel Comics book depicts school bullies as white men, he'll say "womp womp," which I take to mean "Bet you didn't see that coming!"

2. When a Marvel Comics book fails in a predictable, cliched way. Which is pretty much just point 1 again, though I guess this usage has a more expansive, vaguer meaning.

I don't know how the fuck these Twitter Geniuses are claiming that "womp womp" means anything other than a derisive sort of "I don't believe you/bullshit/Oh of course, as usual," but apparently it now means "Ha-ha, Downs children are stupid!!!"

I think it's just Outrageously Outrageous because their Twitter Palz in their Twitter Bubble said so last night when they were doin' their nightly drinkin' and weren't really thinking all that much.
