Johnson told Fox News Sunday:

“Without a doubt the images, and the reality, from 2014, just like 2018, are not pretty,” said Johnson. “We expanded it, I freely admit it was controversial, we believed it was necessary at the time, I still believe it is necessary to remain a certain capability for families.”

We don’t seem to remember anyone being thrown out of restaurants at that point in history.

Weird how no one in the Obama admin was asked to leave a restaurant over this. No doxing ICE agents then, either. https://t.co/3Tjg0MFwZl

Oh weird and not a single protest found it's way to his front lawn and he wasn't chased out of a single restaurant or movie theater https://t.co/JmUaiu1CQW

Different standard and different media coverage.
