California Gov. Gavin Newsom said of Trump’s idea: “It is illegal. It is immoral. It is unethical. It is sophomoric. It is petulant. And it is par for the course.”
The best proxy for Trump and Mick is to just assume they're lying or being deceptive with quotes. Pelosi is pretty bad though so I fell for it and actually looked up the quote. Surprise, surprise it's about Trump using immigrants as pawns not saying that she doesn't want them:
“The extent of this Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated, using human beings—including little children—as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and in some cases, criminal.”
I'm not going to bother looking up the entire Newsom statement. I'll fact check the Mick as my patience allows but continue to just assume he's FOS as a first order approximation.
