Mcghee: There Is a Very Loud Megaphone from the Right Wing, Like Breitbart That Is Full of Vitriol and Hate
EXCERPT:
GEIST: "So, Heather, it’s Willie. Do you believe the president when he says, you know, he had sort of Jeb Bush-like comment about coming from a place of love. It’s got to be an act of love. He said in the past that this is difficult for him, this DACA issue it's got to be done with a lot of heart. As you listen to him speak, as you watch the moves he makes, do you feel like he is actually torn, do you feel like he sides with DACA but also in his head, believes that he has to stick with his hard-line right wing conservative guys like Steve King and live up to the promises he made during his campaign?"
MCGHEE: "You know, it’s been very tempting from the moment that Donald Trump walked onto the national political stage to try to square the circle, of all the different places that he’s been, all the different comments he’s made, Trump the reality show star, Trump the leader of Trump University, that defrauded students of and was settled for $25 million. Trump the person that bankrupted Atlantic City, you know, is he a good businessman? Does he really care? Is he a New York liberal who is actually pro choice or is he someone who is the kind of hard liner that Steve king can get behind. I think ultimately it’s not about Donald Trump it’s about the American people. And the American people want comprehensive immigration reform. There is a very loud megaphone that comes from the right wing, comes from places like Breitbart that is full of vitriol and hate. That has no empathy for the fact that most people in this country can trace their lineage back to people who came to the United States exactly under similar circumstances than the people here today without papers. And yet, our immigration rules were different. And we really need to understand that it is not — that it is in the best interest of this country to have clear and -- clear sort of well understood and fared and equitable immigration laws. And that’s not what we have today."
