On Friday night, NewsNation's On Balance host Leland Vittert gave Ohio Rep. Greg Landsman (D) an ultimatum on immigration and customs enforcement: would he get rid of sanctuary cities if it meant stopping ICE raids on places like Home Depot? Unsurprisingly, Landsman couldn’t accurately depict what a sanctuary city was, incredibly he couldn't even say they exist.
Vittert started by asking about violent rhetoric and actions taken against ICE, which led to this Landsman response:
I know that there are some folks who have said some pretty inappropriate, unhelpful things. But the vast majority of my colleagues I think are where I am, or at least what I’ve heard is, look, don’t engage ICE don’t mess with law enforcement. But this is chaotic, we’re seeing these chaotic raids of folks coming into communities with masks on and, you know, there are some legitimate questions. And I don’t think the American people like chaos, it’s not good policy, it’s terrible politics and that's what they see.
