Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) refused to answer CNN’s Dana Bash when she repeatedly asked him whether Felon45 should be allowed to deport U.S. citizens to El Salvador.
Rather than answering, Emmer was allowed to go into attack mode and accuse Sen. Chris Van Hollen of not caring about his constituents back home and chide him for visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.
No mention, of course, that the woman Trump and the right wing keep propping up to attack Van Hollen is being sued by her own family, along with the aunt, for stealing the fundraising money meant for the children.
Here’s the back and forth with Bash and Emmer:
BASH: I want to ask you about another idea that President Trump is floating. He’s done so repeatedly. And that’s the idea of deporting U.S. citizens convicted of violent crimes to El Salvador. You’re not only a lawmaker. You are an attorney.
Do you think the federal government has any legal authority to do that with American citizens?
