House Democrat Urges MAGA To 'Imagine Who Gets Killed' In Deadly Strikes If AOC Was President
HuffPost
Rep. Jim Himes on Wednesday rebuked Trump's "illegal" U.S. strikes on suspected drug-runners with an unexpected hypothetical.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) on Wednesday excoriated President Donald Trump for “illegally” striking the boats of merely suspected drug-runners in Pacific and Caribbean waters, and warned supporters that it sets a dire precedent they might not appreciate in the future.
Himes appeared on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” to discuss the controversial strikes, which began in early September and have killed at least 57 people that the Trump administration maintains were all trying to smuggle narcotics such as fentanyl into the U.S.
Jansing played a clip Wednesday of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) claiming earlier in the day that most Americans support Trump in these strikes. The conservative also rebuked Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) on Monday for calling them “sanctioned murder.”
“If Lindsey Graham and other Republicans want to go the route of saying, ‘It’s OK to kill people illegally, just so long as the American public supports it,’ the American public needs to really think that through,” said Himes. “There will be a Democratic president someday.”
He continued, “And all my MAGA friends who are cheering on these illegal killings need to imagine who gets killed when President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that it doesn’t matter what the law says, she’s going to do what she’s going to do.”
It comes weeks after the U.S. launched a military strike inside the country.
