In the President's world, children, especially his children, don't
have to be honest when they apply for security clearances or disclose
all their meetings they had with the Russians. In the President's world, children and grandchildren can be
convenient political props, like when a 6-year-old granddaughter is
sent into the Oval Office to interrupt an interview with The New York
Times, especially when the interview isn't going well for him. But grandchildren and grandparents in the President's world do not
have a ``bona fide'' family connection when it comes to being refugees. In the latest incarnation of his Muslim and refugee ban, the President
excluded grandparents from the category of those close family members--
only in the Republicans' mind. Well, let me tell you something. If the President can be interrupted
by his grandchild to shake up an interview that isn't going so well, I
can ask my grandson to help me make a point here in Congress.
