Conservative columnist George Will is hoping President Donald Trumpās horrifying zero-tolerance policy on the border that led to the separation of thousands of kids from their parents will be the last straw for many people planning to vote Republican in the 2018 midterms.
In a striking op-ed for the Washington Post, Will made his point directly in the headline: āVote against the GOP this November.ā
āThe congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitutionās Article I powers that they...

On Thursday, the Associated Press reported on federal court filings regarding the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center in Virginia. Those court filings allege that children āas young as 14ā were subjected to near-tortuous conditions, including being ālocked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells.ā It gets worse. Hereās one account, from a 15-year-old Honduran detainee:
Whenever they used to restrain me and put me in the chair, they would handcuff me. Strapped me down all the way, from your feet all the way to your chest, you couldnāt really move. ... They have total control over you. They also put a bag over your head. It has little holes; you can see through it. But you feel suffocated with the bag on.
The Associated Press corroborated stories of brutality with a former child-development specialist who worked in the facility, and said that she saw minor detainees with ābruises and broken bones they blamed on guards.ā The AP continues:
Many of the children were sent there after U.S. immigration authorities accused them of belonging to violent gangs, including MS-13. President Donald Trump has repeatedly cited gang activity as justification for his crackdown on illegal immigration.
It takes until paragraph 19 of the story to learn that the allegations of abuse began during the Obama administration:
At one time a couple of decades ago Will seemed to speak for Conservatives but he stopped being the voice of real Conservatives a long time ago. He is like a William F. Buckley that went off the reservation.
