Is it just me? If I wanted sanctuary from ICE I would probably go to a RED state since Trump is so focused on BLUE states, IDK but it looks like he's pushing people in that direction. My opinion.

The woman caller was a Republican.
She didn't know they would come for her too.
But they're coming for everyone - unless you're a billionaire, that is.

Social media post:

More Perfect Union
@MorePerfectUS
Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson:
"I have two medically fragile children ... lf
we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my
children do not get the medication that's
needed for them to live their life because
we live paycheck to paycheck."

When a mother calls C-SPAN and pleads
with Mike Johnson, "My kids could die ...
you could stop this," it tells you everything
you need to know about his party.
