republicans here and perhaps doing a wise job politically of that because democrats indeed facing an identity crisis inside their party and a reminder, immigration front and center in the midterm elections of course as is that big supreme court pick. jim? wouldn t be the first time a tweet from the president not based on facts. jeff zeleny at the white house, thank you. it is not a majority of democrats going down this let s dismantle i.c.e. path. small number. harris, possible presidential candidate s. th candidate. is that the case of the extreme left of the democratic party pulling it too far left to their political disadvantage on this issue? on the facts i think that they re right. i.c.e. is a cruel, inhumane, rogue agency. you need to understand it s absolutely rogue and been that way for a long time. this way under obama. i wrote a lot about immigration in the obama years and they have been rebuked by the supreme court multiple times for
you have ever seen. right? this is exactly what donald trump said he was going to get rid of. and it s just an endless maybe, amanda, you help us understand this. it s really astonishing, like, does he have something on donald trump? or just doing what donald trump wants? environmental he can find another person to do this. scott pruitt is a walking, talking ethics violation and talking to republicans who are sticking by him they just say, he s getting the job done and crazy to me. no one else? pick a random staffer from the office and get the same result. right. so, i would bet the democrats take the house he resigns. right. guess what happens then. hearings, hearings, hearings. does the president dig in sometimes on staffers like this just for the sake of digging? i think that s one theory and that he sees in pruitt a kindred spirit. a fighter. he believes pruitt to be sort of being bashed unfairly. i also as an avid simpsons
enforcement. blasting democrats on twitter saying, when we have an infestation of gangs in the country who do we send to them get them out? i.c.e. third straight day he s injected himself in a brewing of the democratic party. with some in the party s left wing calling for the elimination of i.c.e. while others are warning of the political consequences of doing so. the president saying many democrats are deeply concerned about the fact that their leadership wants to abandon the great men and women of i.c.e. senator warren among the democrats leading the charge. the president s deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom. starting by replacing i.c.e. with something that reflects our morality and reporter: it s becoming a refrain among the party s most liberal voices.
