Top officials teed off on a far-left MSNBC panel this week for laughing at voters who were concerned about the impacts of President Joe Biden’s border and illegal immigration crisis.
The panel — which consisted of network hosts Jen Psaki, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, and more — was in the process of breaking down the Super Tuesday results when Psaki took a shot at voters in Virginia who said immigration was their top issue.
“I mean, if you look at some of these exit polls — I mean, I live in Virginia,” Psaki began. “Immigration was the number one issue. Again, these could change — in Virginia.”
The panelists all laughed at the development.
“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia,” Maddow mocked. “A very contested area.”
The Border Patrol Union slammed the panel, writing on X: “Americans dying by the thousands of fentanyl overdoses, women raped and murdered, kids sex-trafficked, cops assaulted…all due to leftists’ open border.”
“Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow: ‘OMG, it’s hilarious, hahahahahahahahaha, people in Virginia are so stupid…,'” they added.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has led the fight against the Biden administration’s border policies, posted: “An illegal alien was just charged will sexual assault against a 14-year-old in Virginia. He entered illegally last year and was released by the Biden administration.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) highlighted a recent tragedy that happened near Psaki’s home.
“Jen Psaki & Rachel Maddow owe Jeremy Poou-Caceres’s family an apology,” Cruz said. “He was a 2-year-old just killed by an illegal alien less than a 30 minute drive away from Psaki’s $1.7 million home in Arlington, Virginia.”
Former Trump administration official Ezra A. Cohen said, “The coastal elites are mocking Americans. What happened to the supposed care for all Americans and unity that the Adults spoke so eloquently about?”
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said: “A teenage girl in Virginia was sexually assaulted by an illegal immigrant in January, but the out-of-touch professional Democrats on MSNBC dismiss and joke about Americans’ legitimate concerns.”
“Democrats are totally disconnected from real America,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO). “Just 2 weeks ago, in Virginia, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela was arrested /charged w/sexually assaulting a 14 y/o girl. He had come here illegally thru El Paso in Sept 2023 & released into the U.S. by the federal gov’t.”
Even presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy ripped the segment, posting: “Can’t we have mature political conversations instead of belittling voters? More TV pundits should get out of the studio and talk to real Americans.”
