EXCERPT:

UNGAR-SARGON: "We know that foreign governments and corporations have eaten the vast majority of the tariffs."

SELLERS: "The people who contributed — and I will quote my good friend, the great liberal Erick Erickson, who goes out on a limb and simply says — "

UNGAR-SARGON: "The fact that a conservative said something doesn‘t make it true, Bakari."

SELLERS: "I‘ve been saying that my entire life. I‘ve actually been — you‘ve been agreeing with me, Erick Erickson even pointed to the fact that the fact we‘ve raised all this money from tariffs comes from the American individual who‘s spending these dollars."

UNGAR-SARGON: "That's not true. That is  false. The fact that Erick Erickson said it doesn‘t make it true, Bakari. It is false. The vast majority of the tariffs have been paid by foreign governments and corporations."
