BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries squirms on CNN when pressed to give President Trump credit for securing the southern border.
CNN Anchor: “Can you give President Trump any credit for securing the border?”
Jeffries: “Uh, the border is secure. That’s a good thing. It’s happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course. He’ll get credit… for that… but in dealing with the issues that matter, there’s a lot left to be desired.”
Critics are blasting the response as a painfully weak attempt to dodge giving Trump direct praise, pointing out that border security and stopping illegal immigration—issues tied to violent crimes committed by illegal aliens—are overwhelmingly the top priority for most Americans.
Many argue you can’t address any other domestic problem effectively without first controlling who enters the country.
