WATCH: Dramatic border video with kids surfaces amid crossing surge
I absolutely LOVE Dan Crenshaw.
If he is any indication of what the future of our party looks like, I think we’re very much headed in the right direction.
He has a bright political future ahead of him, and he’s not afraid to walk right in to “enemy” territory.
By that, I mean The View.
He appeared on the show yesterday, and it was pretty great to see someone come in and actually challenge their nonsense.
When asked about border security: “Every country has the right to own its own sovereignty. Every country has the right to manage who comes in and out of those borders. And right now, it feels as though the United States does not have that right … We have no effective control over our border right now.”
He also made it clear that most immigrants “don’t have a valid asylum claim.”
“What they’ve learned over the years is they only to raise their hand and say they’re claiming asylum, and they need a child with them. So our laws that are based on good intentions are actually incentivizing child trafficking. No matter what, they’re taking advantage of the asylum process,” Crenshaw said.
BINGO.
Additionally, economic prosperity does not warrant asylum status. The vast majority of immigrants enter this country to find a more prosperous job.
Meghan McCain then asked him about the Democrats’ inability to call Ilhan Omar out on her blatant anti-Semitism:
“I think unfortunately we’re playing a team sport these days,” Crenshaw said. “We just had a long discussion about how Republicans feel about Trump, and I think you’re seeing the same issues play out on the Democrat side with somebody on their own team, and they’re not sure how to handle it, even though they might behind closed doors disagree with what she’s saying.”
As if to prove his point, Joy Behar immediately jumped in to defend her:
“I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up the fact that she’s a new congresswoman. And on the right, what we have is the President of the United States in Charlottesville, saying there are good people on both sides and people are yelling ‘Jews will not replace us.’ There are not good people on both sides.”
*SIGH*
Really, Joy?
Crenshaw fought back, and the View gang went into full screech-mode:
“In that same sentence, he also said I’m definitely not referring to white nationalists,” Crenshaw said.
“Why do you apologize for him?” Behar shrieked.
“I’m not apologizing. You have to read what he actually said.”
NO! THEY REFUSE! THEY WILL NOT READ!
“It wasn’t in the same sentence, it was actually in a statement two days later,” Sunny Hostin chimed in.
“No, it wasn’t.”
Meghan McCain doesn’t think it ‘matters.”
“But I will say, I don’t think it matters. I think bigotry and any …”
“I agree with you,” said Behar.
“You and I are on the same page today,” said McCain.
That page is simply hating Trump.
The conversation wrapped back around to how we all need to be nicer to Ilhan Omar.
“I want to point something out,” said co-host Whoopi Goldberg, “because this is a conversation I’ve been a part of with you all. One of the things we’ve never had before is a Muslim congresswoman. So her feelings about Israel may not be the same as ours. So we have to listen so we understand why people feel the way they feel. This is a new — this is the United States as we said … This is the United States as we say we want it.’
Translation: She’s Muslim, so she’s allowed to be as Anti-Semitic as she wants?
WEIRD.
