Mia Love on Trump’s Comment: ‘I Can’t Defend the Indefensible’

‘So it was really difficult to hear, especially because my parents were such big supporters of the President’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LOVE: "Well, Jake, I can’t defend the indefensible. You have to understand that there are — there are countries that do struggle out there. But their people are good people. And they’re part of — they’re part of us. We’re Americans. You have to understand that my parents, they came from Haiti. They worked hard. They paid their taxes. When they pledged their allegiance to the American flag and became U.S. Citizens, they meant every word of it and they did everything they could to take on not just the benefits, but the responsibilities of what it meant to be an American citizen. And you have to understand, I’m a product of that. I am the American dream. That’s who we are. Those are not just American values, but they’re certainly Utah values. And they’re values that we all hold dear. So it was really difficult to hear, especially because my parents were such big supporters of the president. And I think that we have to do everything we can to make sure that we are coming from a place of compassion and we’re speaking from a place of kindness. I mean, that is the, at least minimal standard here."
