In an interview that quickly went haywire, Fox News host Sean Hannity and Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones (D) verbally sparred on Tuesday night over Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting immigrants.
“The America I believe in does not look like this,” Jones said, holding up an image of masked ICE agents. “The America I believe in does not look like masked men targeting people. Shameful!”
“The threat to the American people is in the White House,” he said, adding that 70 percent of immigrants “kidnapped” by ICE “goons” haven’t been convicted of any crimes.
“Shame on you!” Jones said again. “God have mercy on you and anybody who believes it’s right, and your children will be ashamed of where you stand in this time, Sean.”
Yahoo News has another story about the interview from Mediaite with more text and possibly the entire segment. You have to watch a 15 second ad.
There is so much more. It is a little hard to find the full video, try Googling justin jones on fox.
TN State Rep. Justin Jones is a good representative of our state. If only more people stood up like he does. I hope he doesn't get arrested for something they make up.
