Failed Texas Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke unloaded on the Trump administration’s handling of the ‘migrant caravan’ this week; baselessly asserting the White House was “locking” children in “cages.”

Beto posted his incendiary remarks online just hours after dozens of migrants were apprehended after storming the US border and hurling rocks at American authorities.

“It should tell us something about her home country that a mother is willing to travel 2,000 miles with her 4-month old son to come here,” O’Rourke posted.

“[It] should tell us something about our country that we only respond to this desperate need once she is at our border,” O’Rourke continued. "So far, in this administration, that response has included taking kids from their parents, locking them up in cages, and now tear gassing them at the border.

"People are leaving violent countries where they fear for their lives,” he added. "Without money, they are subsisting on hope for their kids, for themselves, that they can get to safety. After being denied the ability to lawfully petition for asylum for the last 10 days, they are desperate.
