Senior Republican flounders when asked about Trump plan to deport US citizens to foreign jails

10. Emmer advanced to full-blown gaslighting but a GOP senator, incredibly, gave a much better response.

(Emmer) "The issue that we're dealing with is we’ve got a president who wants to protect US citizens from violence, from crime, and having their children solicited, murdered, etcetera, versus Democrats who seem to want to protect illegal aliens in this country, for whatever reason.”

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a more direct answer to the same question.

“No, ma’am. Nor should it be considered appropriate or moral,” the senator told moderator Kristen Welker about the prospect of deporting US citizens or housing criminals in other countries.

Yep, Emmer went with the "you liberals just want to protect criminals" bullshit. He's fully on board. ...You know what? When this is over, I'd be fine with the government paying El Salvador to "house" him and the rest of the trumpnik mob for the rest of their lives.
