Dem Rep. Escobar Says Rep. McCarthy Is Fueling ‘Xenophobia and Racism’ by Saying There Is a Crisis at the Border

EXCERPT:

ESCOBAR: “I would call on the minority leader and my colleagues to tell the truth. Only when we deal in truths can we really solve problems together. They can either join us in being part of the solution or my fear is what they're going to continue to do, is to seek ways to divide our country, fuel xenophobia and racism, and I want to warn them, that their words and the fueling of that xenophobia, that racism, that hatred of the border, that -- that fear of the border, there are consequences to that language and that rhetoric.”
