The Washington Post faced backlash on Saturday evening over a headline that praised President Joe Biden in response to the Senate passing Biden&#8217;s $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package.
The headline, which was later featured in a tweet, stated, &#8220;Biden stimulus showers money on Americans, sharply cutting poverty in defining move of presidency.&#8221;
Reaction to the headline was overwhelmingly negative across the political spectrum with many calling it propaganda.
Here are some of the newsworthy responses the the headline garnered:
<ul>

Former White House Senior Adviser Stephen Miller slammed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during an interview this week, saying that the remarks coming from the Biden administration about the border crisis were an &#8220;offense&#8221; to logic and reason.
Miller, who made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, was responding to the following diced-up clip that Ingraham played on her show:
<blockquote>We do not have the capacity now to address the asylum seekers’ claims &#8230; because that system was dismantled in its entirety by the prior administration. &#8230; We have to address those implications, not only for the benefit of the of the communities in the United States, but for the migrants themselves.</blockquote>
&#8220;The comment from Secretary Mayorkas is an offense to human intelligence and reason,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;When we left office, the border was fully secure. If you came illegally, you were detained and you were safely returned home. That is the definition of border security, that if someone crosses illegally, border agents can apprehend them, and then they can be safely returned to the country they came from.&#8221;
&#8220;We had that system in place,&#8221; Miller continued. &#8220;Because we had deals with Mexico. We had deals with Central America; we reformed our asylum regulations. We reformed our intake procedures; we expedited return flights home; we had charter flights leaving every single day to have a safe, secure, humane border. He and his fellow political appointees at DHS dismantled all of that. They dismantled the most effective asylum system that had ever been created in this country. And they [launched] this border crisis. And he needs to own up to that fact and not lie to the American people, and not disrespect the ICE officers and border agents who painstakingly achieved that security plan.&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;ll say one other thing. While they&#8217;re pretending to be compassionate, not only are their plans deeply injuring American families and American communities, but they&#8217;re destroying the Northern Triangle,&#8221; Miller continued. &#8220;Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador cannot possibly succeed if this mass exodus of young people is allowed to continue. Those countries won&#8217;t have a future. They&#8217;re sentencing those countries to generations of poverty and misery.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS HOST: I think Jen needs to spend some time with the Border Patrol, like we did, and live their lives for just a few hours. I don&#8217;t think they have a firm grasp on anything, including reality. Now, internal documents obtained by Axios, showing that during the last week of February, Border Patrol referred an average of 321 migrant kids each day to HHS shelters &#8230; they&#8217;re all soon going to be at maximum capacity. They&#8217;re at about 94%. It&#8217;s actually worse, though, than this. The Washington Post&#8217;s immigration reporter is tweeting that the number of families and minors arriving is expected to be the highest in over 20 years, and the government will use hotels if it runs out of space. When&#8217;s the last time you went to a hotel? Now, if it wasn&#8217;t that bad, get ready for this — my next guest says that the Biden administration is vastly undercounting the real extent of this crisis. Here now is former senior adviser to President Trump, Stephen Miller. Stephen, you and I have been talking about illegal immigration and what it&#8217;s doing to the country for years and years and years. But you have a lot of sources in Border Patrol, as well. They&#8217;re briefing you about the real situation on the ground today. What are you hearing?
STEPHEN MILLER, FORMER WHITE HOUSE SENIOR ADVISER: Well, the administration has publicly admitted, which is rather shocking, that 100% of minors traveling alone, many of them teenagers, are being resettled and released all throughout the United States, all 50 states, but what they&#8217;re not telling you is that most family units are now also being released, too — and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re seeing now 4,000 apprehensions a day, because word has spread, not just in Central America, but throughout the world, that if you come as a family or as a minor, you&#8217;re going to be released, and that&#8217;s not being publicly disclosed. So what they&#8217;re saying publicly, oh, no, we&#8217;re still turning away family units. In reality, the majority of family units are now being released into the interior of the country. And a lot of them are going to go into communities that don&#8217;t have the hospital capacity, or the health care resources to deal with them. And that&#8217;s going to mean during a pandemic, low-income Americans are going to be denied the health care resources that they need. So this really exacerbates a public health crisis, in addition to a national security crisis.
INGRAHAM: Well, the DHS Secretary Mayorkas is a radical. He&#8217;s blaming the Trump administration, big shock, for the situation unfolding at the border.
[START VIDEO]
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, DHS SECRETARY: We do not have the capacity now to address the asylum seekers’ claims &#8230; because that system was dismantled in its entirety by the prior administration. &#8230; We have to address those implications, not only for the benefit of the of the communities in the United States, but for the migrants themselves.
[END VIDEO]
INGRAHAM: Stephen, this wouldn&#8217;t be happening, right? Would it? If they hadn&#8217;t rolled back the Trump border policies and rolled out the red carpet for illegals?
MILLER: The comment from Secretary Mayorkas is an offense to human intelligence and reason. When we left office, the border was fully secure. If you came illegally, you were detained and you were safely returned home. That is the definition of border security, that if someone crosses illegally, border agents can apprehend them, and then they can be safely returned to the country they came from. We had that system in place. Because we had deals with Mexico. We had deals with Central America; we reformed our asylum regulations. We reformed our intake procedures; we expedited return flights home; we had charter flights leaving every single day to have a safe, secure, humane border. He and his fellow political appointees at DHS dismantled all of that. They dismantled the most effective asylum system that had ever been created in this country. And they [launched] this border crisis. And he needs to own up to that fact and not lie to the American people, and not disrespect the ICE officers and border agents who painstakingly achieved that security plan. And I&#8217;ll say one other thing. While they&#8217;re pretending to be compassionate, not only are their plans deeply injuring American families and American communities, but they&#8217;re destroying the Northern Triangle. Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador cannot possibly succeed if this mass exodus of young people is allowed to continue. Those countries won&#8217;t have a future. They&#8217;re sentencing those countries to generations of poverty and misery.
INGRAHAM: Well, look, this is about exploiting the labor of these migrants coming across the board.
MILLER: Exactly.
INGRAHAM: I&#8217;m going to say that, that is brutally honest. This is so a lot of rich people can have cheaper landscapers and nannies and whatever. That&#8217;s what this is about. It&#8217;s nothing humanitarian about it. There&#8217;s nothing compassionate about it. It&#8217;s so rich people can have cheap labor and businesses don&#8217;t have to pay the wages to American citizens.
MILLER: The middle class is suffering and those countries are suffering to make rich people richer.
INGRAHAM:  Yeah, meanwhile, we have 13 illegal immigrants die in this fiery crash because human smuggling on the rise as well because of these policies. It&#8217;s all hideous. Steven, thank you so much.</blockquote>

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels slammed President Joe Biden during a Fox News interview this week for the ongoing crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that Biden&#8217;s reversal of the last administration&#8217;s policies have caused a serious problem on the border.
&#8220;When President Biden rescinded the emergency order on the southwest border, it stopped resources, and it stopped construction on our border,&#8221; Dannels said. &#8220;As a result of that, one area where the fence is not complete, we get five or six groups a day coming across there. It&#8217;s [opened up] the border. It opened up the message that it&#8217;s okay to come in this country. This administration owns this decision. And what it&#8217;s doing is it&#8217;s forcing us back to 2019, where we had the largest what I call crime scene in the country to include the largest humanitarian situation going on.&#8221;
Dannels said that the border is essentially &#8220;wide open&#8221; right now, which has left local officials frustrated because &#8220;we had it under control.&#8221; Dannels also said he &#8220;would love to hear Dr. Fauci&#8221; talk about the public health issue on the southern border.
&#8220;A year ago today, we were running, just on our camera system, 300 to 400 a month,&#8221; Dannels said in regards to the number of illegal border crossing that were happening in his county. &#8220;In August, when the politics kicked up, we jumped up to 1,200 a month. In December, it was over 2,500 illegal entries to include over 500 pounds of illicit drugs. I just got the charts [the other day], it&#8217;s skyrocketing back to numbers we saw in 2019. The reason we have MPP and these other programs President Trump put in place was because the 2019 caravan and surges. It worked. It&#8217;s not working now.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS HOST: While the new administration&#8217;s decision to stop border wall construction has forced crews to put down tools, this kills me, and walk away in the middle of work. By the way, this is a wall we already paid for, a decision that one Arizona sheriff says left behind a roadway for smugglers. Sheriff Mark Dannels is in charge of Cochise County, which covers 83 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border. He joins us now. Sheriff, we paid for the wall to be built along with the technology and along with the roads. Now we&#8217;re paying to move the wall, store the wall, or destroy the wall. And guess what? The illegals, according to what you&#8217;re telling us, are actually using it to get into the country? In what way?
MARK DANNELS, SHERIFF COCHISE COUNTY: Well, good morning, Brian. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a product of politics within policing. And I&#8217;ve always said this, they have no business in our business, in the business of policing what we do on this border in our communities. When President Biden rescinded the emergency order on the southwest border, it stopped resources, and it stopped construction on our border. As a result of that, one area where the fence is not complete, we get five or six groups a day coming across there. It&#8217;s opened up the border. It opened up the message that it&#8217;s okay to come in this country. This administration owns this decision. And what it&#8217;s doing is it&#8217;s forcing us back to 2019, where we had the largest what I call crime scene in the country to include the largest humanitarian situation going on.
KILMEADE: So what we&#8217;re seeing is stills that you guys sent us. How did you get these pictures? What should everyone at home know about these pictures?
DANNELS: These pictures come off our, we have our own camera system that works [collected] with the CBP. These pictures I&#8217;m showing you came off our camera system, where you see the smuggling coming through our deserts. It&#8217;s wide open right now. It&#8217;s wide open, and with the chaos going on the border based on these administrative decisions, and it just, we saw this in 2019, Brian, where 141 countries breached our southwest border in the first nine months, over 1,000 gang members, 822 assaults on agents, 271 deaths on our border. This is a crime scene. And this is what we just put together, we had it, we had it under control, this [is] frustrating. And now it&#8217;s going back to 2019. It&#8217;s frustrating.
KILMEADE: I mean, I don&#8217;t want to get you into politics. But we just fired 15,000 people working on a pipeline that had zero impact on the environment. And then he went over to the border, which was working, and blew it up from pure political purposes and made your life miserable and made our country, put our country in greater danger. Keep in mind some of these numbers, and these numbers don&#8217;t lie — border encounters in the fiscal year 2021, 71,922 in October, 72,091 in November, 73,000 in December, 78,000 in January, that&#8217;s almost 300,000. Now look, in 2014, Vice President Joe Biden said when they were 68,000 border crossings, unaccompanied minors crossing, they said it was a crisis. He called it a tragedy. That was 188 per day. Today, we&#8217;re projected to have 117,000 this year. What’s he going to call it then? What changed?
DANNELS: Well, politics changed. Politics changed, ideologies changed. It&#8217;s hypocritical, to be honest with you, Brian, what we&#8217;ve seen in the past and where we&#8217;re at today, it&#8217;s very hypocritical by this administration. It goes against the grain of the CDC. I would love to hear Dr. Fauci, who nobody is talking about what&#8217;s going on the southwest border, when it comes to the health pandemic in this country. They are not testing them. They&#8217;re being released without being tested into communities. And then you look at the public safety aspect of this. It&#8217;s upsetting. It&#8217;s almost like we&#8217;re not part of this country, which is very upsetting.
KILMEADE: Yeah, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s in the best interest of the country. When&#8217;s the last time someone asked you if you were a Democrat or a Republican? It&#8217;s nothing to do with it. It is just one&#8217;s right and one&#8217;s wrong. And you say this Remain in Mexico policy, which has now been blown up. You say that the new proposal by the Mexican leader could bring 600,000 to 800,000 Mexican and Central American illegal immigrants a year coming here.
DANNELS: Yes, [and to] give you an example, Brian, off just our camera system, which is up to 1,000 cameras, we deploy 700 at a time. A year ago today, we were running just on our camera system, 300 to 400 a month. In August, when the politics kicked up, we jumped up to 1,200 a month. In December, it was over 2,500 illegal entries to include over 500 pounds of illicit drugs. I just got the charts [the other day], it&#8217;s skyrocketing back to numbers we saw in 2019. The reason we have MPP and these other programs President Trump put in place was because the 2019 caravan and surges. It worked. It&#8217;s not working now.</blockquote>

Arizona Border Sheriff On Border Crisis: Biden ‘Owns This,’ ‘We Had It Under Control’ Under Trump

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2021/03/border-1-1200x800.jpg

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) criticized President Joe Biden during a Wednesday interview on Fox News for a variety of issues ranging from securing the southern border to reopening schools.
McConnell called Biden&#8217;s proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus bill &#8220;wildly out of proportion to where the country stands today.&#8221;
&#8220;This $1.9 trillion bill is the same size as the bill we passed last April, right in the middle of the pandemic,&#8221; McConnell said. &#8220;This is not the same country we had a year ago. Only 9 percent of this $1.9 trillion is related to health care, and less than 1 percent of this $1.9 trillion bill is related to vaccines. &#8230; The vaccines are going out. The economies are opening up. As you just pointed out, a lot of money that was sitting on the sidelines, for obvious reasons, over the last year is about to begin to be spent.&#8221;
McConnell later added that schools needed to be reopened, saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s no science-based reason for kids to be stuck at home now.&#8221;
&#8220;And I think the administration ought to be advocating, even though those are local decisions, ought to be advocating getting these kids back in school, because the science backs that up,&#8221; he added. When asked why he thought Biden was not doing that, McConnell said it was because &#8220;this is the parents versus the teachers union.&#8221;
&#8220;And I think the administration would be a lot smarter, rather than trying to sort of pay back their teachers union allies, to side with the parents of America, who know their kids need to be back in school,&#8221; McConnell said. &#8220;We know that there&#8217;s been a lot of damage done to the kids over the last year by being stuck at home. They need to be with other children their age. They need to be learning the social skills that come along with being back in school. And there&#8217;s no science-based reason for keeping these kids locked up at home any longer.&#8221;
Later, when asked about the crisis on the U.S. border, McConnell said, &#8220;Secretary Mayorkas, the head of the Homeland Security, says there&#8217;s no crisis at the border. Well, that&#8217;s absolutely incorrect.&#8221;
&#8220;And the crisis was created by the administration sending a message to desperate people who want to come here that just hang on, you will get in sooner or later,&#8221; McConnell said. &#8220;And, of course, the Mexican government then will become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an excellent job of, by any objective standard, was border security. And all of that is being undone very quickly in this new administration. They own this crisis at the border. They created it. And they could stop it if they chose to.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>MARTHA MACCALLUM, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Joining me now, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Senator, great to have you with us today. Thank you very much.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): Hi, Martha.
MACCALLUM: Hi there.
In terms of this bill, you said the other day that you would want to sort of fight this in every way possible; 50/50 split, some concessions just made on some of the thresholds. Do you think you&#8217;re going to be able to peel off any Democrat senators in this bill?
MCCONNELL: Well, we don&#8217;t know yet.
But it&#8217;s wildly out of proportion, as your introduction pointed out, wildly out of proportion to where the country stands today. This $1.9 trillion bill is the same size as the bill we passed last April, right in the middle of the pandemic.
This is not the same country we had a year ago. Only 9 percent of this $1.9 trillion is related to health care, and less than 1 percent of this $1.9 trillion bill is related to vaccines.
It is a wildly out-of-proportion response to where the country is at the moment. The vaccines are going out. The economies are opening up. As you just pointed out, a lot of money that was sitting on the sidelines, for obvious reasons, over the last year is about to be &#8212; to begin to be spent.
We think having a debt the size of our economy for the first time since World War II already doesn&#8217;t argue for adding $2 trillion more, when the country is clearly on the way back.
MACCALLUM: I mean, it&#8217;s a great point.
I heard Jim Baker talking about it the other night. He spoke with Bret and said &#8212; and exactly what you just said. Having a debt that is the size of the economy &#8212; think about that, everybody at home &#8212; is a pretty tremendous burden to bear.
That being said, just the pure vote politics of this, do you believe right now, as you talk &#8212; as you speak today, that there&#8217;s any chance that perhaps Joe Manchin or perhaps Kyrsten Sinema, senators from West Virginia and Arizona, might vote no on this bill?
MCCONNELL: Well, I doubt it in the end.
There is a chance, however, that they may join us in slimming it down some, probably nowhere near as much of a slim-down as the situation argues for. But any amount we can reduce the size of this is a good thing for the &#8212; for the country. And I think there&#8217;s at least a chance that one or two Democrats could join all of us and spend a little bit less.
MACCALLUM: Have you spoken with either of them?
MCCONNELL: It&#8217;s still going to be &#8212; it&#8217;s still going to be wildly out of proportion to what the country needs right now.
MACCALLUM: Sorry to interrupt.
Have you spoken with either of those senators or anybody that you think might be on the fence today?
MCCONNELL: Yes, there&#8217;s all kinds of conversations going on.
The Democrat bill keeps changing. They keep dropping things that are toxic. And I think the reason for that is, there&#8217;s internal pressure among Senate Democrats to make it a little less bad.
But, at the end of the day, my guess is, they all fall in line and it&#8217;ll pass with every single Democrat for it and every single Republican against.
MACCALLUM: Do you think that the checks that are going out &#8212; there&#8217;s some unemployment benefits, additional benefits that would run out in March. Do you believe that these checks prevent some people from wanting to work? Do you believe that?
MCCONNELL: Well, there is a concern about making it more advantageous to stay home, and &#8212; rather than going back to work.
Look, if we had it to do all over again &#8212; and we, meaning Republicans, may offer an alternative that we think fits the situation, and it&#8217;s considerably less than $1.9 trillion, $500 billion or 600 billion, which is still an enormous amount of money, but highly targeted at the health care portion of the problem, vaccines, kids in school.
And we need to make sure that people are being encouraged to go back to school, not staying at home.
MACCALLUM: Yes.
MCCONNELL: I mean, there&#8217;s no science-based reason for kids to be stuck at home now.
And I think the administration ought to be advocating &#8212; even though those are local decisions, ought to be advocating getting these kids back in school, because the science backs that up.
MACCALLUM: So, you have known Joe Biden a long time. Why do you think he doesn&#8217;t do that?
If he were to come out and say, look, this &#8212; I&#8217;m the president of the United States. As you say, these are state decisions. But I believe that everybody &#8212; what if he pushed back against the teachers union?
Politically, how big of a &#8212; how much of a burden would that be on him? Or do you think he might &#8212; he might score well with it, actually, with the American people?
MCCONNELL: Well, this is the parents versus the teachers union.
MACCALLUM: Yes.
MCCONNELL: And I think the administration would be a lot smarter, rather than trying to sort of pay back their teachers union allies, to side with the parents of America, who know their kids need to be back in school.
We know that there&#8217;s been a lot of damage done to the kids over the last year by being stuck at home. They need to be with other children their age. They need to be learning the social skills that come along with being back in school.
And there&#8217;s no science-based reason for keeping these kids locked up at home any longer. And I think, the sooner the administration faces that, stands up to the teachers union, and says, get those kids back in school, the more likely school boards all across America are going to make that decision.
MACCALLUM: Yes. It could be a great political moment for him as well.
On that same line, are you surprised that President Joe Biden is allowing what&#8217;s happening at the border right now to happen? We know that, in Brownsville, Texas, there&#8217;s 105 migrants who came through who are COVID-positive who were sort of sent on their way on the process.
That wouldn&#8217;t happen &#8212; if that happens here, where I work, you&#8217;re home for 10 days if you test positive or 14 days, or whatever the doctor prescribes. Why is it that we have a different policy for people coming across the border?
MCCONNELL: Beats me.
Secretary Mayorkas, the head of the Homeland Security, says there&#8217;s no crisis at the border. Well, that&#8217;s absolutely incorrect. And the crisis was created by the administration sending a message to desperate people who want to come here that just hang on, you will get in sooner or later.
And, of course, the Mexican government then will become less cooperative.
One thing the previous administration did an excellent job of, by any objective standard, was border security. And all of that is being undone very quickly in this new administration. They own this crisis at the border. They created it. And they could stop it if they chose to.
MACCALLUM: Yes.
With regard to the prior administration, you were on last Friday talking to Bret, and you said, absolutely, that you would back President Trump, the former president, if indeed he became the nominee of your party.
And everyone remembers the very strong statement that you made on the floor with regard to the January 6 riots at the Capitol. You were very strong in your words against the president.
At this point, do you have any regrets about the statement that you made on the floor? Would you take back any of that today?
MCCONNELL: Well, look, I think the actions of the new Democratic administration are unifying the Republican Party.
We have had some internal back-and-forth, and it&#8217;s been widely covered. But nothing has unified the Republican Party in both the House and the Senate faster than reacting to this new left-wing administration.
So, we&#8217;re looking forward. We&#8217;re not going to look backward. We&#8217;re looking forward, dealing with the problems America has today, not the problems it had yesterday.
And, as I said, I have sensed in our conference, and I think in the House Republican Conference as well, a new sense of unity, pulling together to oppose this left-wing administration.
MACCALLUM: All right.
Well, shortly after you said that, the president spoke at CPAC, and he went after &#8212; he named 17 individuals. He spared you in that &#8212; in that part of it. He mentioned you in another part.
What did you think of that when you heard him at CPAC naming all of those who voted to impeach him and saying, basically, we need to get rid of all these Republicans?
MCCONNELL: Well, I didn&#8217;t &#8212; I didn&#8217;t watch it.
(LAUGHTER)
MCCONNELL: But I think the important thing now the American people expect from us is to stand up to this left-wing administration that&#8217;s taking the country in the wrong direction.
We&#8217;re dealing with the president and the future, not looking back to the past.
MACCALLUM: So, you don&#8217;t want to comment on any of that. And I understand what you&#8217;re saying, that you want to move forward.
He also went after the Supreme Court. And that has been a point that was of great pride for you in terms of accomplishment with those Supreme Court justices.
Here&#8217;s what he said about the Supreme Court.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We had almost 20 states go into the Supreme Court, so that we didn&#8217;t have a standing problem. They rejected it. They rejected it.
(BOOING)
TRUMP: They should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done to our country. They didn&#8217;t have the guts or the courage to make the right decision. Senator
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MACCALLUM: McConnell, what do you say about that statement?
MCCONNELL: Well, I can only speak for myself.
The Supreme Court is the most respected institution in the country, with the possible exception of the military. When they speak, it&#8217;s the last word. And it&#8217;s been my practice over the years not to attack the Supreme Court for decisions that I don&#8217;t like.
MACCALLUM: So, you think the president was wrong to say that?
MCCONNELL: It&#8217;s been my practice over the years not to attack the Supreme Court when they make a decision that I don&#8217;t like.
MACCALLUM: All right, just one last question.
Senator Murkowski is the only one on that list who&#8217;s actually up for reelection in her next Senate race. And you said that you will stand by her.
Do you think you may find yourself in a position where you are backing her and the former president is backing another candidate against her? And will you stand by her if that happens?
MCCONNELL: Yes, absolutely. We support Senator Murkowski. We support all of our Republican incumbents.
She&#8217;s in very strong shape in her home state of Alaska. There&#8217;s nobody going to come close to beating Lisa Murkowski when she runs for reelection next year.
MACCALLUM: Senator McConnell, minority leader of the United States Senate, thank you very much, sir.
MCCONNELL: Thank you.
MACCALLUM: Always good to have you with us.
MCCONNELL: Thanks, Martha.</blockquote>

McConnell Unloads On Biden: Trump ‘Excellent’ On Border, Biden Failing; Stimulus ‘Wildly Out Of Proportion’

Mitch McConnell

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) criticized President Joe Biden during a Wednesday interview on Fox News for a variety of issues ranging from securing the southern border to reopening schools.

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) warned during a Fox News interview this week that the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border will become a full-fledged crisis &#8220;very soon&#8221; if President Joe Biden does not take action to stop what is happening.
&#8220;The numbers have been increasing … The number of unaccompanied kids, the number of families that are coming in are just increasing every day,&#8221; Cuellar said Tuesday. &#8220;In my district, just a couple of days ago, 166 people [crossed the border], and it just goes on and just different numbers are going up. So it’s not a crisis yet, but it’s going to get there very soon.&#8221;
Cuellar said that the Biden administration needed to take action to stop the illegal immigration taking place on the border, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/henry-cuellar-texas-border-crisis-biden-administration-action">Fox News</a>.
&#8220;The words that are spoken are not going to stop them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You got organizations, criminal organizations that make billions of dollars, and every time they bring somebody over here, they make a lot of money. So the organizations are going to move around, and you&#8217;ve got to have certain processes in place. Otherwise people are going to start continuing.&#8221;
On Wednesday, Cuellar appeared on Fox News for a separate interview with host Neil Cavuto, who asked Cuellar he would &#8220;urge President Biden to slow down.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, absolutely,&#8221; Cuellar responded. &#8220;In fact, I&#8217;ve told the folks that I&#8217;ve talked to at the White House, let&#8217;s be cautious. In my opinion, what the White House needs to do is they cannot only listen to the immigration activists, advocates, they also need to listen to the communities on the border that I represent, the mayors, the judges, the NGOs down there, and with that, he can come up with a balanced approach.&#8221;
&#8220;Otherwise, who&#8217;s carrying the burden of all this Everything we&#8217;re seeing down there at the border?&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s not the people who live 1500 miles away [it’s] those … people that live in my community right at the at the border.&#8221;
Axios reported on Monday that Cuellar “hopes the administration continues using a Trump-era public health order to quickly expel migrant adults and families, at least during the pandemic.”
“He said smugglers will likely use the shift in immigration tactics from the Trump to the Biden administration to convince migrants to come to the U.S,” Axios added.
In another interview this week, Cuellar addressed the ongoing pandemic and the alleged lack of testing for COVID-19 of those who are being released into the U.S.
“I got border mayors saying, ‘Woah, hold it, hold it. Our hospitals are full, we are not getting enough vaccines right now, so you’re releasing undocumented people at our bus stations and our centers without checking them,&#8217;” Cuellar said.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) responded to misconduct allegations that he is facing by saying during a press conference on Wednesday that he &#8220;deeply apologized&#8221; for his conduct and that he is &#8220;embarrassed&#8221; over the situation.
&#8220;I want to address the recent allegations that have been made against me,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;As you probably know, the Attorney General is doing an independent review and I will fully cooperate with that review. Now, the lawyers say, I shouldn&#8217;t say anything, when you have a pending review until that review is over, I understand that. I&#8217;m a lawyer too.&#8221;
&#8220;First, I fully support a woman&#8217;s right to come forward,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;And I think it should be encouraged in every way. I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional. And I truly and deeply apologize for it. I feel awful about it. And frankly, I am embarrassed by it. And that&#8217;s not easy to say. But that&#8217;s the truth.&#8221;
“I never touched anyone inappropriately,” Cuomo said. “I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable&#8230;And I certainly never ever meant to offend anyone, or hurt anyone or cause anyone any pain. That is the last thing I would ever want to do.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Notably, he denies Lindsey Boylan&#39;s claim he kissed her: &quot;Get the facts before informing an opinion.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/s7Kt94fW4h">pic.twitter.com/s7Kt94fW4h</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo also rejected calls from reporters who asked if it was in the state&#8217;s best interests that he resign, saying that he will comply with the investigation being conducting by the New York attorney general.
Cuomo addressed photos that have surfaced of him touching people by <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1367184961271451652">saying</a>, &#8220;You can go find hundreds of pictures of me kissing people, men, women. It is my usual and customary way of greeting.&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;m embarrassed by it and I feel bad from it. I&#8217;m not in this business to make people feel uncomfortable, I&#8217;m hear to help them, that&#8217;s the essence of what I do,&#8221; Cuomo said. &#8220;I do not believe that I have never done anything in my public career that I am ashamed of. I didn&#8217;t know I was making her uncomfortable at the time, I feel badly that I did. And I&#8217;m going to learn from it.&#8221;
One reporter asked Cuomo if he has taken the &#8220;sexual harassment training required by New York that all employers are to give to their employees,&#8221; to which Cuomo responded: &#8220;Short answer is yes.&#8221;
Cuomo is facing <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andrew-cuomo-investigation-sexual-misconduct-allegations/">several allegations</a> including that he kissed a former staffer at work and created a hostile work environment that involved sexual harassment; that he asked another female staffer about her sex life at work; and that he made a woman at a wedding feel uncomfortable when he put his hands on her face and asked her if he could kiss her.

Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan slammed the Biden administration during a Fox News interview on Monday over the unfolding crisis on the U.S. southern border, saying it was &#8220;created&#8221; by the administration and that what is happening is not an accident.
When asked by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade about whether former President Donald Trump was responsible for the crisis on the border, Homan said that he was not.
&#8220;Let me address the statement made by Secretary Mayorkas that there&#8217;s not a crisis,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;That that&#8217;s very disturbing, because when he was a deputy secretary in 2015, Jeh Johnson, the Secretary, I met with them numerous times a week to talk about the border crossings, how many are crossing, how many being detained, how many be in ordered to be removed. And the threshold we set at the time Brian was a thousand. A thousand crossings a day was a bad day, it was a crisis. And now we&#8217;re dealing with 4,000 a day, four times what he considered a crisis back in 2015.&#8221;
&#8220;He is not bringing truth to the American people,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;There is certainly a crisis on the border that is manufactured and which created by the Biden administration because of their promises that they&#8217;ve made and the enticements that they&#8217;ve made to the people.&#8221;
Homan later added that the crisis on the border did not happen &#8220;by accident,&#8221; but &#8220;by design.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to be border expert to realize when you make those type of promises, and on top of that, Brian when we give you free health care, when you make those type of promises, they&#8217;re going to come and they knew when they said these things, it was gonna cause a border crisis,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;They have folded to the progressive left. And it&#8217;s just incredible.&#8221;
DHS Secretary Mayorkas &#8220;made a statement yesterday that President Trump gutted the system,&#8221; Homan added. &#8220;Are you serious? He, as the secretary of Homeland Security, he has more immigration judges, he has more agents, he has more border technology, he had agreements that no other president was able to get. If anybody&#8217;s gutted the system, it&#8217;s they&#8217;ve gutted the system the last four weeks, and we see what happened. We went from historic lows to crisis unprecedented. That is what they have done.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS HOST: Meanwhile, let&#8217;s bring in Fox News contributor retired Acting ICE director Tom Homan. Tom, do you blame Trump for the problems at the border?
TOM HOMAN, FORMER ACTING ICE DIRECTOR: No, I don&#8217;t. And let me address the statement made by Secretary Mayorkas that there&#8217;s not a crisis. That that&#8217;s very disturbing, because when he was a deputy secretary in 2015, Jeh Johnson, the Secretary, I met with them numerous times a week to talk about the border crossings, how many are crossing, how many being detained, how many be in ordered to be removed. And the threshold we set at the time Brian was a thousand. A thousand crossings a day was a bad day, it was a crisis. And now we&#8217;re dealing with 4,000 a day, four times what he considered a crisis back in 2015. He is not bringing truth to the American people. There is certainly a crisis on the border that is manufactured and which created by the Biden administration because of their promises that they&#8217;ve made and the enticements that they&#8217;ve made to the people.
KILMEADE: 4,000 unaccompanied minors are now in our country, that&#8217;s an 19% increase year-to-year. They have eliminated the wa[ll] building, stopped the remain in Mexico policy where 71,000 I guess Central and South Americans are sitting there waiting, I guess they&#8217;re going to end up here. &#8230; they&#8217;re legalizing the dreamers and bringing back in deported illegals, which is stunning, alone with 100 day pause on deportations in Mexico, excuse me, the Texas filing with the court &#8230; of course there&#8217;s going to be a crisis, they actually scripted this crisis.
HOMAN: And it&#8217;s not by accident. It&#8217;s by design, you don&#8217;t have to be border expert to realize when you make those type of promises, and on top of that, Brian when we give you free health care, when you make those type of promises, they&#8217;re going to come and they knew when they said these things, it was gonna cause a border crisis. They have folded to the progressive left. And it&#8217;s just incredible. He made a statement yesterday that President Trump gutted the system. Are you serious? He, as the secretary of Homeland Security, he has more immigration judges, he has more agents, he has more border technology, he had agreements that no other president was able to get. If anybody&#8217;s gutted the system, it&#8217;s they&#8217;ve gutted the system the last four weeks, and we see what happened. We went from historic lows to crisis unprecedented. That is what they have done.
KILMEADE: It&#8217;s not a lack of compassion. The message we send here forces these triangle countries to send people in, in the hope that they&#8217;re getting in on the promise that they&#8217;ll get through instead of going through the system that allows perhaps more refugees in, in a revamped immigration reform. But I want to bring it to two more topics before I have to let you go. The DHS Secretary Mayorkas said yesterday, that loving parents send their kids alone thousands of miles through Central America, through Mexico, and we&#8217;re going to [inaudible] expelling them. We&#8217;re not going apprehend a nine year old who came here alone, who traversed Mexico, whose parents, loving parents, sent them here alone. Well, if we don&#8217;t send them back, tens of thousands will come after them. We cannot digest entire countries, can we?
HOMAN: No, we can&#8217;t and look, it&#8217;s inhumane to put your children in the arms of criminal cartels. You and I talk about one of the times I testified, I lost my temper at congressmen that said I didn&#8217;t care about dying children. I&#8217;ve held many dying children. I was in back a tractor trailer with five year old little boys suffocated to death in his father&#8217;s arms. Don&#8217;t tell me this is compassion. Putting your children in hands of criminal cartels is inhumane, it is dangerous, and it&#8217;s just bad. So, I&#8217;ve seen it and I just can&#8217;t believe that statement was even made.
KILMEADE: It was. Kristen Fisher asked this question yesterday at the White House briefing. &#8216;The President of Mexico is going to propose an idea to bring an immigrant labor force of 600-800,000 immigrants a year to work legally in the United States. Is that something we should consider?&#8217; The answer from Jen Psaki, I&#8217;ve seen those reports, I believe that step that would require Congress. Should Congress greenlight this?
HOMAN: Absolutely not. Congress needs to secure our border and enforce the laws that they wrote and they enacted that was signed by president. Look, last year, Mexico received $40 billion in remittances from people who work in the United States illegally, sent money back to Mexico. $40 billion in a year [with] a pandemic. So of course, the Mexican president wants to send more people here because you don&#8217;t have to take care of them. You don&#8217;t have to bribe social services. He doesn&#8217;t have to train them, send them to the United States and send us back even more than $40 billion. This is a win-win for Mexico, bad for United States bad for the American worker.
KILMEADE: Tom, what do they say? These are jobs that Americans don&#8217;t want to work. What do you say?
HOMAN: That&#8217;s just untrue. That&#8217;s not true. I&#8217;ve done many investigations at worksite operations where we&#8217;ve hit worksites where these jobs are good paying jobs. Now, some are low paying jobs, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but there&#8217;s a lot of jobs that middle class Americans would love to have right now during this time of unemployment.</blockquote>

Former ICE Director: Biden Administration Has ‘Manufactured’ Crisis At Border, ‘It’s By Design’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged questions on Tuesday from a reporter with a Catholic news organization about whether President Joe Biden supports forcing doctors to violate their conscience to preform controversial medical procedures.
&#8220;There&#8217;s pro-life groups right now very concerned about the the phrase &#8216;pregnancy discrimination&#8217; in the Equality Act,&#8221; ETWN reporter Owen Jensen said. &#8220;You&#8217;re familiar with that I&#8217;m sure, that it would force doctors to perform abortions even if it violates their conscience.&#8221;
&#8220;There are also concerns the bill would force doctors to perform gender transition surgeries and sterilizations again, even if violates their conscience, what does the president, President Biden, say about those concerns?&#8221; Jensen asked.
&#8220;The president&#8217;s been a longtime supporter of Roe v. Wade,&#8221; Psaki responded. &#8220;It has been his consistent belief that should be law and he will fight to continue to protect that as being law.&#8221;
&#8220;The conscience concern is not a concern of his?&#8221; Jensen pressed.
Psaki dodged the question and later said that Jensen would have to talk to the future HHS secretary about whether Biden would keep the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division at HHS, which was installed by former President Donald Trump.
Jensen asked Psaki about whether Biden would try to use taxpayer money to fund abortions, to which Psaki responded by saying that Biden was a &#8220;devout Catholic&#8221; and that he goes to church.
Here is the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/press-secretary-jen-psaki-dodges-questions-about-biden-abortion-policy-he-attends-church-regularly">exchange</a>:
<blockquote>JENSEN: Two big concerns for pro-life Americans: the Hyde Amendment, which of course keeps tax payer dollars as you know for abortions, Medicaid abortions. And the Mexico City policy, which under the previous administration, expanded to keep tax dollars from overseas paying for abortions. So what does President Biden planning on doing on those two items right now?
PSAKI: Well, I think we’ll have more to say on the Mexico City policy in the coming days, but I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly. He started his day attending church with his family this morning, but I don’t have anything more for you on that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OWEN JENSEN, EWTN GLOBAL CATHOLIC NETWORK: There&#8217;s pro-life groups right now very concerned about the the phrase &#8216;pregnancy discrimination&#8217; in the Equality Act. You&#8217;re familiar with that I&#8217;m sure, that it would force doctors to perform abortions even if it violates their conscience. There are also concerns the bill would force doctors to perform gender transition surgeries and sterilizations again, even if violates their conscience, what does the president, President Biden, say about those concerns?
JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The president&#8217;s been a longtime supporter of Roe v. Wade. It has been his consistent belief that should be law and he will fight to continue to protect that as being law.
JENSEN: The conscience concerns is not a concern of his?
PSAKI: [Inaudible], I think again, I&#8217;m just gonna state with the president&#8217;s policies are. Did you have another question?
JENSEN: Will President Biden keep the conscience and religious freedom division at HHS, the office that was put in place under President Trump, but keep it in place to receive conscience complaints from those doctors?
PSAKI: You&#8217;ll have to talk to future Secretary Becerra once he is confirmed.</blockquote>

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly dodged questions during Tuesday&#8217;s news conference on why Vice President Kamala Harris has not spoken out about the sexual misconduct allegations that have been made against New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo after she spoke out against the allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
&#8220;Vice President Kamala Harris was one of the most vocal critics of justice Brett Kavanaugh, of Senator Al Franken, when they faced similar allegations. She said repeatedly, &#8216;I believe them, the women,&#8217; but she hasn&#8217;t said anything about the three women who are accusing Governor Andrew Cuomo,&#8221; Fox News reporter Kristen Fisher said. &#8220;And now this third accuser in Anna Ruch, she actually worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. So at what point is the first female vice president going to say something about this?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I know that&#8217;s how the vice president continues to feel and the benefit of doing a briefing every day is that I can certainly speak on behalf of the president and the vice president,&#8221; Psaki responded. &#8220;And so let me reiterate that they both believe that every woman coming forward should be heard, should be treated with dignity, and treated with respect. As you all know, the New York Attorney General will oversee an independent investigation with subpoena power and the governor&#8217;s office said he will fully cooperate and we certainly support that moving forward.&#8221;
Fisher again pressed Psaki on if the American public can expect to hear from either President Joe Biden or Harris on the issue, to which Psaki said that she represents them and &#8220;that&#8217;s the representation of their points.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to address remarks from former President Donald Trump over the weekend in regards to the Biden administration&#8217;s pledge to get kids back in school.
&#8220;One more question, former President Trump speaking over the weekend at CPAC &#8230; he said, &#8216;President Joe Biden sold out America&#8217;s children to the teacher&#8217;s union,'&#8221; a reporter said. &#8220;How does the White House respond to that?&#8221;
&#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to do, ugh, spend more of our time focused on communicating about our agenda for the American people than responding to criticism from the former president,&#8221; Psaki responded.

Below are the <a href="https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-cpac-2021-speech-transcript">remarks</a> that Trump made during his CPAC speech about the school issue as it relates to the Biden administration:
<blockquote>They’re callous indifference to working family is equally clear when it comes to the critical matter of getting America’s children back to school. And they must get back and get back right now, right now, crazy. Terrible. Terrible. 
The Biden administration is actually bragging about the classroom education they are providing to migrant children on the border. While at the same time, millions of American children are having their futures destroyed by Joe Biden’s anti-science school closures. Think of it. We’re educating students on the border, but our own people, children of our citizens, citizens themselves are not getting the education that they deserve. There’s no reason whatsoever why the vast majority of young Americans should not be back in school immediately.
 The only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because Joe Biden has sold out America’s children to the teacher’s unions. His position is morally inexcusable. You know that. Joe Biden has shamefully betrayed America’s youth. And he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes, no reason for it whatsoever. They want to get out. They’re cheating the next generations of Americans out of the future that they deserve. And they do deserve this future. They’re going to grow up and they’re going to have a scar. It’s a scandal of the highest order. And one of the most graven acts by any president in our lifetimes. 
It’s the teacher’s union, it’s the votes, and it shouldn’t happen. And nobody has more respect for teachers than I do. And I’ll bet you, a lot of the people within that union, they agree with everything I’m saying. Even the New York Times is calling out the Democrats. The mental and physical health of these young people is reaching a breaking point. Tragically, suicide attempts have skyrocketed and student depression is now commonplace and at levels that we’ve never seen before. 
The Democrats now say we have to pass their $1.9 trillion boondoggle to open schools, but a very small part of it has to do with that. You know where it’s going, it’s going to bail out badly run Democrat cities, so much of it. But billions of dollars for schools remain unspent from the COVID relief bills that were passed last year. So on behalf of the moms, dads, and children of America, I call on Joe Biden to get the schools open and get them open now. They’re a great thing to do.</blockquote>

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo released a statement on Sunday afternoon apologizing for his behavior after two women came forward and claimed that he sexually harassed them while they worked in his administration.
The statement from Cuomo comes after &#8220;Lindsey Boylan, a candidate for Manhattan borough president who formerly worked for Cuomo and the state’s economic development agency, revealed in a blog post on Wednesday that the governor had kissed her without her consent and asked her to play strip poker,&#8221; Politico reported. &#8220;Then, on Saturday, The New York Times reported that Charlotte Bennett, a former executive assistant and health policy adviser to Cuomo, was also sexually harassed by the governor, including inappropriate questions about her sex life.&#8221;
&#8220;Questions have been raised about some of my past interactions with people in the office,&#8221; the statement began. &#8220;I never intended to offend anyone or cause any harm. I spend most of my life at work, and colleagues are often also personal friends. At work sometimes I think I am being playful and make jokes that I think are funny. I do, on occasion, tease people in what I think is a good natured way. I do it in public and in private. You have seen me do it at briefings hundreds of times. I have teased people about their personal lives, their relationships, about getting married or not getting married.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean no offense and only attempt to add some levity and banter to what is a very serious business,&#8221; Cuomo continued. &#8220;I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that.&#8221;
&#8220;To be clear I never inappropriately touched anybody and I never propositioned anybody and I never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but these are allegations that New Yorkers deserve answers to,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I have asked for an outside, independent review that looks at these allegations. Separately, my office has heard anecdotally that some people have reached out to Ms. Bennett to express displeasure about her coming forward. My message to anyone doing that is you have misjudged what matters to me and my administration and you should stop now &#8211; period.&#8221;
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki discussed the issue on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; on Sunday and suggested that Biden believed the essence of the claims that were being made.
“Charlotte should be treated with respect and dignity. So should Lindsey,” Psaki said. “And there should be an independent review looking into these allegations. And that’s certainly something [Biden] supports and we believe should move forward as quickly as possible.”

New York Governor Cuomo Holds Briefing In New York

Governor Andrew Cuomo Releases Statement Apologizing For Behavior Following Sexual Harassment Allegations

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo released a statement on Sunday afternoon apologizing for his behavior.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said during his CPAC speech on Friday that Democrats have gotten to the point that they &#8220;hate America&#8221; because they have forgotten how special of a place America is, something that Reagan famously expressed in his farewell address.
Cotton made the remark while he was talking about how CPAC was not held in Washington, D.C. this year because officials have locked down the nation&#8217;s capital after Democrats downplayed violent left-wing riots for much of 2020.
&#8220;Now, maybe if CPAC had promised to burn down buildings and tear down statues, they would have let us up there,&#8221; Cotton said. &#8220;But just think about that contrast, that contrast strikes at the heart of our freedom, that your rights may depend on what you say, or what you believe, or the color of your skin. That&#8217;s the opposite of freedom, and conservatives everywhere, and really just normal Americans who don&#8217;t subscribe to every fad and fashion the far-left, see risk everywhere they turn. Big business may take your job away, big tech may deplatform you, your liberal college may kick you out of school, your liberal governor may shut down your church.&#8221;
&#8220;And why does the left do that?&#8221; Cotton said. &#8220;It&#8217;s because they failed to heed the warning of Ronald Reagan, in his farewell address. They lost what he called the unambivalent appreciation of America. Now, many on the left have concluded that America is a fundamentally flawed, irredeemable, wicked place. They have a lot of names for it. But whatever banner it flies under, it gets back to that anti-American idea. You can call it &#8216;wokeness,&#8217; or &#8216;political correctness,&#8217; &#8216;cancel culture,&#8217; you can call it &#8216;critical race theory,&#8217; &#8216;critical gender theory,&#8217; critical whatever. Some people call it systemic racism. But here&#8217;s their point. The key word is not racism, the key word is systemic. It doesn&#8217;t matter so much what the system is guilty of only that the system is guilty, and it needs to be burned to the ground. So many liberals think that about America. And how do they plan to do that? They plan to do it by rejecting our beautiful Declaration of Independence, and the central promise of America, that we are all created equal in the eyes of God and we all have equal rights under the law. But too many of them no longer believe that. That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s no more urgent task today than the defense of America. And a simple, unapologetic patriotism.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>SEN. TOM COTTON (R-AR): Hello. Thank you all very much. Thanks for that great Florida welcome. You know, it&#8217;s great to be back at CPAC. Although something is a little different this year, you know, for the first time ever CPAC is not in our nation&#8217;s capital. That&#8217;s because they won&#8217;t let us anywhere near the nation&#8217;s capitol. Think about it. Even though cases are plummeting and vaccination rates are surging, we are still banned from getting anywhere near our nation&#8217;s capital. Now, contrast that with what happened last summer with the BLM protests there, thousands of people in the streets as cases were surging. Did Democratic politicians try to lock that down? No, they went out march with them. Now, maybe if CPAC had promised to burn down buildings and tear down statues, they would have let us up there. But there is nowhere, there&#8217;s nowhere, I would rather be than here with my fellow patriots free, than locked down in Washington, DC.
But just think about that contrast, that contrast strikes at the heart of our freedom, that your rights may depend on what you say, or what you believe, or the color of your skin. That&#8217;s the opposite of freedom, and conservatives everywhere, and really just normal Americans who don&#8217;t subscribe to every fad and fashion the far left, see risk everywhere they turn. Big business may take your job away, big tech may deplatform you, your liberal college may kick you out of school, your liberal governor may shut down your church. And why does the left do that? It&#8217;s because they failed to heed the warning of Ronald Reagan, in his farewell address. They lost what he called the unambivalent appreciation of America. 
Now, many on the left have concluded that America is a fundamentally flawed, irredeemable, wicked place. They have a lot of names for it. But whatever banner it flies under, it gets back to that anti-American idea. You can call it &#8216;wokeness,&#8217; or &#8216;political correctness,&#8217; &#8216;cancel culture,&#8217; you can call it &#8216;critical race theory,&#8217; &#8216;critical gender theory,&#8217; critical whatever. Some people call it systemic racism. But here&#8217;s their point. The key word is not racism, the key word is systemic. It doesn&#8217;t matter so much what the system is guilty of only that the system is guilty, and it needs to be burned to the ground. So many liberals think that about America. And how do they plan to do that they plan to do that? They plan to do it by rejecting our beautiful Declaration of Independence, and the central promise of America, that we are all created equal in the eyes of God and we all have equal rights under the law. But too many of them no longer believe that. That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s no more urgent task today than the defense of America. And a simple, unapologetic patriotism. 
We face many threats in this country, whether from China or Iran, or Islamic terrorism. But there is no more pernicious threat to America than the rejection of our founding principles, and our heritage and our tradition. And all those on the left who would reject those things I have a message. We will defend America without fear, without reservation, and without apology. After all, we&#8217;ve seen what happens when people lose the nerve to defend America. Last summer, chaos and riots engulfed our streets. Police stations were fire bombed. Buildings, businesses were looted. Courthouses were attacked, statues to our heroes were toppled. The police in some cases were overwhelmed and didn&#8217;t have the numbers to stop the violence. In other cases liberal politicians refused to allow the police to restore order, you may recall, we were all told these are mostly peaceful protests, peaceful protests as entire city blocks were burned to the ground. Remember the guy on CNN, standing in front of the blazing Inferno? So, mostly peaceful protests down here tonight, Wolf. But the violence continued night after night. 
So I wrote an op-ed in The New York Times. It had it had a very simple message, very simple, very common sense message, grounded in American history in law, supported by a majority of Americans arguing very simply, if the police cannot, or especially if they are not allowed to restore order, then it is time to send in the troops. And what happened next? Total meltdown with the little social justice warriors at The New York Times. All these children that have been marinated, in the language of the campus seminar room. They said things like, &#8216;your words put my life at risk.&#8217; As if typing on their phones sitting on their futons was as dangerous as being a cop trying to stop rioters in the streets. Or, &#8216;your words are violence.&#8217; No, I&#8217;m sorry, kiddo, words or words, violence is what your friends are doing out on the streets of America. And of course, The New York Times editors they caved and rolled over And they apologized. They said my work didn&#8217;t meet their standards. That&#8217;s one time I actually agree with The New York Times. My work did not meet their standards, it far exceeded their normally lousy standards. You know, some people, some people on the left even called for me to apologize. So let me say again, I will never apologize for defending America. 
And, you know, one of the first things I learned in the Army, really one of the first things anyone learns in the Army is the five principles of patrolling. The most important of which is security because if you don&#8217;t have security, you don&#8217;t have anything. And security is what our brave police officers bring to our communities every single day across America. And that&#8217;s why conservatives should never apologize for backing the blue. And whether it&#8217;s a child mob and the New York Times, or a social media mob, or an actual mob and our streets, we will never bend the knee to a politically correct mob, ever. Now, The New York Times a laughingstock obviously, but this is no laughing matter. The Democrats expect us all to surrender, to capitulate. They want to control the terms of the debate, they even want to control our language. Have you seen that Joe Biden wants to ban the term &#8216;illegal aliens&#8217;? It&#8217;s true. What does he want to replace it with? He wants to replace it with undocumented non citizen. True, I&#8217;m not making it up. Why are they undocumented? Because they&#8217;re illegal. It&#8217;s simple people. And that&#8217;s just that&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg and they&#8217;re open borders immigration agenda. They want to give amnesty to 15 &#8211; 20 million illegal aliens, with no strings attached, with voting rights, presumably in time for what they hope will be Kamala Harris&#8217;s re-election campaign. They may have halted deportations for all illegal aliens, murderers, rapists, terrorists, Ms-13 gang members are not being deported. They stopped building a wall on our border, and they put up a wall around your United States Capitol. And right now, right now as we speak, they are literally tracking down illegal aliens in Mexico, who Donald Trump turned away, to invite them to come back. That&#8217;s not catch and release. That&#8217;s recruit and release. And of course, you can&#8217;t fly into America without a negative coronavirus test but you can cross our border without one. Now I&#8217;ve got news for the Democrats again, turns out this open borders agenda is not very popular. You can see that in the polls about Joe Biden&#8217;s plans. 2020 was one of the best elections we&#8217;ve ever had with Hispanic voters in particular, and with immigrant voters in general. Reminds me of a story a friend of mine back home told me. He works with a first generation immigrant named Manuel. Manuel, told him, &#8216;my wife, and both my boys and I all voted for Donald Trump.&#8217; And my friend said, &#8216;Oh, you didn&#8217;t vote for Donald Trump.&#8217; And Manuel said, &#8216;No, we voted for Trump.&#8217; And my friend said, &#8216;Why did you vote for Trump?&#8217; And Manuel pointed at the parking lot. He said, &#8216;Have you seen my new pickup truck?&#8217; And he said, &#8216;Did you know that both of my boys have full time jobs now?&#8217; And he said, &#8216;You know, I&#8217;m not offended by what Donald Trump does.&#8217; And like so many Americans across the country, he said, we have Donald Trump to thank for those things. So, is it any wonder that people like him, immigrants who obeyed our laws and came here the right way, who earned their citizenship and earned the right to vote are some of our most patriotic and loyal Americans? People who escaped oppression from countries like Cuba or Venezuela, or China, more than ever, we need that kind of simple, unambivalent, unashamed patriotism, the proud love of a great country because America truly is a great country, it is worth fighting for, it is worth dying for. And it is worth defending our history. 
These these radical liberals, they want to erase our history, they want to replace it with their crazy Marxist theories. They may say that it&#8217;s about the civil war or racism, don&#8217;t believe them. Look at what&#8217;s happening in San Francisco. They&#8217;re trying to rename schools named after George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, and Dianne Feinstein. People, if Dianne Feinstein is not liberal enough for you, I don&#8217;t know what to tell you. But they are more focused on renaming Abraham Lincoln High School than they are opening up so kids can go back and learn there. And remember this to, last summer, as those mobs were rampaging in the streets, they tore down statues of Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant, when they&#8217;re tearing down statues of Lincoln and Grant, it&#8217;s not about the civil war or racism, it&#8217;s because they hate America. They want to erase and rewrite our history. These liberals read 1984 and thought it wasn&#8217;t a cautionary tale, but a how-to-manual. These are the same liberals that were burning our flag over and over again, last summer in the streets. And what happened? The media celebrated them, Kamala Harris bailed them out of jail. Well, I think you all know what we should do with rioters in the street, we should lock up every last one of them.
You know, I&#8217;ll confess that it makes my blood boil when I see liberals desecrating our flag. When I was in the army, I served at Arlington National Cemetery and we performed funerals for our fallen heroes. I had to present that flag to their widows, the same flag that was burned in our streets last year. The same flag that pampered athletes disrespect by taking a knee during our national anthem. You know, those athletes are about the same age as a lot of those soldiers, a lot of our wounded warriors, though don&#8217;t have the ability to take a knee anymore. You would think it was the least those athletes could do to stand up for our flag when our national anthem plays. But if they won&#8217;t stand up, and we will stand up for our flag. Let me let me close this with just one final story about the flag. You know, I used to get asked questions a lot I still do about why the flag is backwards on the army uniform, and it goes back to the day of cavalry charges. When our soldiers would charge in the battle, the flag would fly in the wind. And if you&#8217;re on the right side of the formation, and the flag is one on the right shoulder, it would appear backwards. So our soldiers wear that flag backwards on their uniform still today to remind everyone that our army always advances it never retreats. And I think that&#8217;s a pretty good lesson for us today. When America is under assault, and conservatives are under attack, we will never retreat. We will never surrender and we will always defend and protect the United States of America. Thank you all. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.</blockquote>
