During CNN Right Now Thursday, host Brianna Keilar and her panel analyzed the CNN Democratic debates. In addition to praising Joe Biden's performance, panelist A.B. Stoddard accused President Trump of lying by claiming that he "got those cages from Obama" and agreed with Democratic Senator Chris Coons's description of the family separation policy as "government-sponsored child abuse." CNN Contributor Wajahat Ali appeared to disagree with Stoddard's analysis, expressing his wish that  "Biden did not have such a mediocre, low bar and could actually rise to the high bar." After claiming that Biden should have attacked President Trump harder and whining about "the humanitarian crisis created by Donald Trump," Ali actually tried to make the case that "the Democrats, compared to Trump, are moderate" on immigration.
