People Are Turning Michelle Obama’s #BringBackOurGirls Pic Into An Anti-Drone Campaign
Many ask: What about child victims of U.S. drone strikes?
Last week, Michelle Obama joined the campaign to #BringBackOurGirls, for the hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist group Boko Haram in Nigeria.
The backlash came swiftly, with Twitter users calling out the administration's policy of using drones around the world.
