Jonathan Blitzer: Trump Was Clear He Wants To Send Convicted Americans to El Salvador

LEMIRE Joe Rogan endorsed ░░░░░░░░ Trump for president He ░░░░░░░░ largely supportive of his ░░░░░░░░ He has a hugely ░░░░░░░░ platform there And Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ was struck and Joe ░░░░░░░░ know you said so ░░░░░░░░ well he kept going ░░░░░░░░ is frightening this is ░░░░░░░░ because there s a ░░░░░░░░ first of all even ░░░░░░░░ Garcia others who are ░░░░░░░░ in that prison in ░░░░░░░░ Salvador did not receive ░░░░░░░░ process The Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ they ve picked the ░░░░░░░░ villain That s what ░░░░░░░░ ve said They think ░░░░░░░░ this is the person ░░░░░░░░ want to scapegoat Not ░░░░░░░░ are these people who ░░░░░░░░ rights and due process ░░░░░░░░ there is this undergirding ░░░░░░░░ that I think Rogan ░░░░░░░░ at there Well it ░░░░░░░░ start with them but ░░░░░░░░ could move to other ░░░░░░░░ too including any of ░░░░░░░░ BLITZER Yeah And the ░░░░░░░░ to be clear is ░░░░░░░░ on this point He ░░░░░░░░ that he would like ░░░░░░░░ send convicted Americans to ░░░░░░░░ prison in El Salvador ░░░░░░░░ this is not a ░░░░░░░░ But I also think ░░░░░░░░ s important to note ░░░░░░░░ when people when journalists ░░░░░░░░ lawyers have dug into ░░░░░░░░ actual specifics of some ░░░░░░░░ these cases obviously it ░░░░░░░░ impossible to dig into ░░░░░░░░ of them because the ░░░░░░░░ won t share any ░░░░░░░░ but when people have ░░░░░░░░ into the specifics of ░░░░░░░░ cases it s become ░░░░░░░░ that the people the ░░░░░░░░ States government is saying ░░░░░░░░ gangsters and are terrorists ░░░░░░░░ in fact not There ░░░░░░░░ no evidence proving the ░░░░░░░░ s claim And yet ░░░░░░░░ government is hiding the ░░░░░░░░ and saying Well no ░░░░░░░░ us we have the ░░░░░░░░ This is precisely why ░░░░░░░░ process is so important ░░░░░░░░ right now have you ░░░░░░░░ 250 Venezuelans who are ░░░░░░░░ in a Salvadoran prison ░░░░░░░░ weren t able to ░░░░░░░░ the charges against them ░░░░░░░░ we have looked in ░░░░░░░░ few cases at the ░░░░░░░░ we see that they ░░░░░░░░ based basically on nothing ░░░░░░░░ things like gang tattoos ░░░░░░░░ are you know the ░░░░░░░░ is somehow that these ░░░░░░░░ suggest gang membership We ░░░░░░░░ for a fact that ░░░░░░░░ don t circumstantial evidence ░░░░░░░░ people can contest And ░░░░░░░░ these people are being ░░░░░░░░ from their families their ░░░░░░░░ It s impossible to ░░░░░░░░ with them The only ░░░░░░░░ we know these people ░░░░░░░░ in a prison in ░░░░░░░░ Salvador is because the ░░░░░░░░ media has broken the ░░░░░░░░ of these people the ░░░░░░░░ States government hasn t ░░░░░░░░ shared that in federal ░░░░░░░░ under judge’s orders.”
