Former President Barack Obama deconstructed some of Donald Trump’s playbook attacks while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada on Saturday.
Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Obama accused the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), of leaning on scaremongering about immigration as an answer to any issue.
“If you challenge them, they’ll fall back on one answer. It does not matter what it is — housing, health care, education, paying for the bills — one answer: blame the immigrants,” he said.
“He wants you to believe that if you elect him, he will just round up whoever he wants and ship them out and all your problems will be solved,” he added.
He acknowledged that there’s a “real issue” at the border and elements of the system are “broken,” but criticized Trump’s approach.
“When I hear Donald Trump talk … he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years,’” he added. “Dude, you were president for four years!”
And the Democrats have zero plans as to how:
All I see from the left side of the aisle is more ways to prevent immigration. And once again, liberals have no clue that real lives are on the line and use this as a political football. Not nearly as bad as conservatives, but still, I’m not hearing how we deal with these folks once they’re here. All the Dems got is finer-honed blocking plans, nada about the humanitarian crisis.
Notice how your comment says nothing about the real humans involved?
Trump’s plan for the real humans involved is to deport them all. Which would take so much time that it would involve concentration camps.
