The White House twitter feed lies and attacks Senators Harris and Warren. How is this constructive or legal? Taxpayers should not have to pay for this partisan venom. There will never be a good discussion on immigration as long as the Trump side says Democrats want crime, open borders and MS-13. I don’t think Trump wants to solve immigration – he likes it as an issue. Good for Senator Harris for fighting back!

White House official twitter account slams potential 2020 opponents over ICE FALSELY accusing @SenKamalaHarris of "supporting the animals of MS-13" and @SenWarren of "supporting criminals moving weapons, drugs and victims" across our borders. Raises questions of law and ethics

As a career prosecutor, I actually went after gangs and transnational criminal organizations. That's being a leader on public safety. What is not, is ripping babies from their mothers. pic.twitter.com/WyyHU3U7jE

Harris responds to the tweet from the official White House account. I’m told by a source close to her that she has used her personal campaign account to reply to this tweet to make it clear that it was inappropriate for the White House to use their official account. https://t.co/7Riq53k6LJ

the idea here (and it should be straightforward at this point) is to do get people to repeat the (false) allegation by doing something that breaks an unspoken norm (using the White House account for trolling) https://t.co/e5AzkdkOUA

wrote in October how even MS-13 experts think the Trump WH exaggerates the gang's threat to justify its immigration crackdown. still relevant nowhttps://t.co/ItbJpzrDup https://t.co/iqvxoMJn41

update:
There’s no basis for this claim at all. Harris has never said anything positive about MS-13. She simply called to “critically re-examine ICE and its role and the way it is being administered,” suggesting “starting from scratch” is an option. https://t.co/9Pil9ZB3Ut
