Scott Jennings was probably still smarting from being dressed down the previous night, so the hapless wingnut Ben Ferguson took his turn in the box this Tuesday.
During yet another one of their shout-fest panel discussions on CNN’s NewsNight, this time on Trump’s ICE goons who are out there indiscriminately roughing up and rounding up anyone with brown skin, or an accent, or Native Americans, or anyone else they feel is getting in the way of their thuggery, Ferguson made the ridiculous claim that getting immigrants out of the country was making us safer, which was quickly corrected by host Abby Phillip.
When guest Leigh McGowan (aka Politics Girl) also weighed in on the fact that they’re not rounding up the “worst of the worst” as Trump claimed, Ferguson continually tried to talk over her to prevent her from finishing her point, and McGowan was having none of it.
PHILLIP: And immigrants can commit crimes at a lower rate than native- born Americans. That’s a fact.
FERGUSON: Tell that to any immigrant who had been killed by an illegal immigrant.
