He’s terrible at this. I mean - awful.
Vance: "I want to address an elephant in the room, a fear some of you have that not enough progress has been made, that not enough has happened in the political arena, that we're not going fast enough. That our politics have failed to answer the clarion call to life. I want you to know I hear you"

Every minute ICE is out there publicly defending kidnapping and using a fucking preschooler as bait is a moment they are losing. I refuse to believe that there is an America that wants this shit.
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Arrests calmly ongoing.

Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

When congressional members/clergy are actually admitted to see it for themselves - then maybe.
Bovino: "Many American citizens are separated when they're arrested -- say by the Mpls PD of any police department -- they are separated from their children when they are arrested ... I challenge any other law enforcement agency to show me the fantastic care that ICE and CBP provide children"

This guy is a real sicko.
Bovino: "How about our victim of the day, a victim at the hand of illegal alien criminals, these same criminals that we are taking off the streets. This victim was Rachel Morin. She's separated permanently from her 5 children."

Um…I can’t believe this is even possible for him to do/say. Completely unacceptable.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

How long has Mr. Baumgartner served as a public servant? His conclusion of politically motivated Smith- who has served the public for decades as an independent agent - is curious.

To state the obvious: The Rev. Martin Luther King was an ordained minister who invoked religion basically constantly throughout his career as an activist, because it was where his activism came from.
His final speech was an extended metaphor about Moses and reaching the Promised Land.

Matt Taibbi criticizes the ICE protests in Minneapolis, and says Martin Luther King Jr. would not have approved of them.
Taibbi claims MLK would not support "guilt because of racial identity" or "bringing religion into it".

Vance: "We have a ton of ICE agents in Minneapolis right now that I would rather us not have. I'd love to send those guys home. They are not even doing targeted immigration enforcement. They're trying to protect ICE officers who are doing immigration enforcement."
