A 7-year-old Guatemalan girl dies in the custody of U>S Customs and Border Patrol on Thursday and like clockwork Democrats politicized the tragedy.
And of course, they decide to leave out important information regarding her death.
“This is tragic. We need a full and thorough account of what happened before this 7-year-old girl died of dehydration and exhaustion in CBP custody,” Sen. Kamala Harris wrote on Twitter.

Harris was then joined by Sen. Cory Booker, a man she will likely face in the 2020 Democrat Presidential primary.
“Shaken by this news. My heart breaks for this young girl and her family,” he wrote.

“This little girl deserved so much better. Don’t ever give into dehumanizing rhetoric about caravans and immigrants. This is where that leads. Every child has a dignity that must be cherished,” former adviser to President Obama, Ben Rhodes wrote.

But they paled in comparison to Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King who directly blamed President Donald Trump.
“My God.
“Shame on our country and shame on Donald Trump.
A 7 year old girl was taken into custody by US Border Patrol and died of “dehydration and shock.”
“These aren’t thugs & criminals. They are people desperate for safe harbor.
“This is a grave sin,” he wrote.

“Horrifying. She should never have been put in a detention center. She never should have been neglected once taken into custody. Her death is on this administration’s hands.
“Just that this is why we can’t stop resisting. This is why we have to march,” The Women’s March said.

However, the blame does not lie at President Trump’s feet or the Border Patrol but at the feet of her father, who dragged her across the desert to push her into the country illegally.
The girl was devoid of nutrition and water for days and by time she got to the Border Patrol it was to late to save her, Fox News reported.
The girl, originally from Guatemala, was part of a 163 migrant group that crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally and surrendered to the border agents Dec. 6.
Just eight hours later, the girl began having seizures and was flown to an El Paso, Texas, hospital where she received treatment, according to the Washington Post.
Customs and Border Protection officials said the girl was dehydrated as hadn’t eaten or consumed water for several days before she was detained with other migrants.
Oh, but let us ignore those pesky facts, right libs?
