JD Vance Saves the Day After 3 Republicans Side with Dems to Stop Trump’s Tariffs

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote in the Senate to block a resolution that would have overturned President Donald Trump’s tariffs, stepping in after three Republicans joined Democrats in an effort to revoke the national emergency authority underpinning the policy.

The Senate vote was held on a resolution seeking to terminate the president’s declaration of a national emergency related to foreign trade deficits.

The measure would have effectively dismantled the tariffs implemented under that authority.

Although Republicans hold a majority in the chamber, the resolution tied 49-49 after GOP Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Rand Paul (R-KY) crossed party lines to vote with Democrats.

With the tie, Vice President Vance intervened and cast the tie-breaking vote to defeat the resolution.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) were both absent from the vote.

A spokesperson for McConnell later stated that the 83-year-old senator would have voted in favor of the resolution alongside Democrats.

“The Senator has been consistent in opposing tariffs and that a trade war is not in the best interest of American households and businesses,” the spokesperson said. “He believes that tariffs are a tax increase on everybody.”

Following the vote, Murkowski posted on social media defending her decision to support the resolution, stating that the president’s declaration of a national emergency related to trade imbalances does not meet the legal threshold required.

“Bilateral trade deficits do not constitute a national emergency, nor do they qualify as an ‘unusual and extraordinary’ circumstance needed to unlock authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act,” Murkowski said.

“We have a lot more work to do to reclaim Congress’s constitutional power over tariffs, but this resolution is a step in the right direction,” she added.

Senator Rand Paul also explained his vote, citing constitutional concerns over executive power and congressional authority over taxation.

“The Constitution clearly states that Congress, not the president, has the power of the purse,” Paul posted on X.

“All new taxes (which is what a tariff is) are supposed to originate in the House of Representatives before going to the Senate for approval.”

Despite the attempted rollback, President Trump defended his economic strategy, particularly the tariffs implemented under his “Liberation Day” trade policy.

In a series of posts on Truth Social this week, Trump rejected claims that the tariffs were to blame for current market volatility, attributing recent economic turbulence to policies inherited from the previous administration.

“This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s,” the president wrote.

“I didn’t take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden ‘Overhang.’”

Trump also urged patience from Americans and businesses navigating the transition.

“This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers,” Trump added.

“But when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!”

The failed resolution marks a significant win for the Trump administration as it moves forward with efforts to realign global trade policies in favor of American production.

The White House has signaled that further economic measures tied to the national emergency authority could be forthcoming.

Michelle Obama “Clearly Hates” Barack: Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly Unleashed

Tucker Carlson offered pointed commentary about former First Lady Michelle Obama and her relationship with former President Barack Obama during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, suggesting that Michelle harbors resentment toward her husband and linking what he described as “unhappy marriages” to broader societal problems.

Carlson, who formerly hosted a prime-time show on Fox News, told Kelly that he believes Michelle Obama “really dislikes her husband,” and that “it’s super obvious.”

He added, “I’m not just saying that to be catty… I think I’m trying to feel compassion for her, but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable.”

The discussion centered on public speculation about the Obamas’ 32-year marriage, which has faced renewed scrutiny following recent interviews by Michelle Obama and comments by President Obama referencing a “deep deficit” in their relationship.

Carlson claimed that Michelle’s demeanor and comments about her marriage are emblematic of a larger issue.

“There’s nothing more destabilizing than an unhappy marriage,” Carlson said.

“She’s like a freak show and it’s easy to make fun of her and I enjoy it, but I do think it’s a whole class of people who are afflicted with the same kind of restlessness and rage and emptiness and they’re the ones wrecking our society.”

Kelly agreed, saying, “Everything Michelle says about her husband is negative.”

She compared it to her own relationship, stating, “I almost never say negative things about Doug. He’s not perfect but when I think about him, I don’t immediately go to whatever is negative. I go to what’s positive and what I love about him.”

Michelle Obama has publicly discussed the challenges of her marriage, including on her podcast In My Opinion, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson.

In past interviews and public appearances, she has spoken candidly about her husband’s ambition, their early financial struggles, and the difficulty of adjusting to political life.

In one episode of actress Sophia Bush’s podcast earlier this month, Michelle addressed growing speculation about her marriage, particularly her absence from high-profile events like President Donald Trump’s inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

Addressing the rumors directly, Michelle said, “So much so that this year, people couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself. They had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.” She added, “That this couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?”

She also pushed back on how her public persona has been framed by critics and the media.

“The first label they put on us as Black women is that we are angry,” she said. “The irony is, like, yeah. I am probably less light than many of my white female friends.”

The former first lady has also expressed frustration with how the media portrayed her during the Obama presidency, citing one journalist’s claim that she was “emasculating” her husband simply by speaking candidly about her experiences.

Despite the speculation, the Obamas have been seen dining together in Washington, D.C., on two separate occasions in the last month.

Trump to Sanctuary Cities: Your Days of Defiance Are Numbered

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Monday aimed at reinforcing law enforcement efforts and targeting jurisdictions that obstruct federal immigration laws, according to a White House announcement.

Speaking at a press briefing alongside Border Czar Tom Homan, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt outlined the directives, which come on the eve of President Trump’s 100th day back in office.

“Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign an executive order on law and order and another executive order on sanctuary cities.

The first EO will strengthen and unleash America’s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens,” Leavitt said.

She added, “The second EO is centered around protecting American communities from criminal aliens, and it will direct the attorney general and secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

Homan, addressing reporters, emphasized that local and state officials should be prioritizing public safety over political agendas when it comes to immigration enforcement.

“I don’t think any elected mayor, or any elected governor, should want public safety threats walking through the community,” Homan said, referencing an upcoming visit to Rochester, New York. The city is currently facing a federal lawsuit related to its sanctuary city policies.

The list to be compiled under the new executive order is intended to publicly identify jurisdictions that prevent or hinder federal immigration enforcement, potentially setting the stage for further legal action or restrictions on federal funding.

In addition to the immigration-related actions, President Trump is expected to sign another executive order concerning transportation regulations.

As reported by Breitbart News, the order will require that American truckers and commercial vehicle operators demonstrate proficiency in English.

“Stay tuned! Today @POTUS and I will be making a big announcement to make our roadways safer and put American truckers first,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote on X, sharing Breitbart’s coverage of the upcoming order.

Leavitt highlighted that by the end of Monday, President Trump will have signed more than 140 executive orders since returning to office in January.

That figure is close to the total number of executive orders signed during the entirety of the Biden administration.

The Federal Register indicates that during Trump’s first year in office in 2017, he signed 55 executive orders.

His current pace significantly exceeds that earlier output, reflecting a major expansion of executive action during his second term.

Trump’s focus on sanctuary cities and law enforcement aligns with broader administration efforts to prioritize immigration enforcement and public safety.

The White House has continued to emphasize that sanctuary policies undermine the rule of law and put American citizens at risk.

The executive actions announced Monday are expected to strengthen federal cooperation with local law enforcement agencies willing to work with immigration authorities, while increasing scrutiny and potential consequences for jurisdictions that continue to resist federal immigration operations.

Reality Hits Adam Schiff in San Francisco—and It’s Not Pretty for Democrats

Image Credit:© Jack Gruber-USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Content Services, LLC

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., issued a stark warning to fellow Democrats during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday night, sharing a personal story that he said highlighted major concerns about his party’s leadership, particularly in California.

During a panel discussion, Maher asked Schiff to address the current state of the Democratic Party, especially in how it governs liberal strongholds like California.

Schiff acknowledged the challenges facing his party, saying, “So we’re gonna have to change how we do business in California. We’re gonna have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime.”

Schiff recounted a personal experience from two years ago in San Francisco, when his luggage was stolen from his car.

He admitted that he had been warned not to leave valuables inside his vehicle but chose to ignore the advice.

“And what was most memorable about the experience for me as I went to this Target in South San Francisco, 10 o’clock at night, and I’m getting the toiletries I’m gonna need for my next two days in the city,” Schiff said.

“First of all, I had to get the clerk, which is hard to find, to unlock the shampoo or the whatever. So that’s one thing.”

He continued by describing what happened at the checkout counter.

“And then I get to the cashier. The cashier asked me if I want one of those Target bags with a little bullseye on it. And I said, ‘Yes, that Target bag is gonna be my luggage for the next two days,” Schiff said.

According to Schiff, the cashier then asked what had happened, and after he explained the situation, she responded bluntly.

“She basically said in not so many words, ’Yeah, Democrats are a**holes.’ And I thought, you know, if the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o’clock at night believes that Democrats are a**holes because the shampoo was locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we’ve got a major problem that we have to address.”

Maher responded to the story, saying, “That’s an awesome story. That says a lot. I hope all the Democrats listen to that story.”

Schiff went on to express optimism about new leadership in San Francisco.

He mentioned Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie, saying Lurie is “helping lead the way in how we kind of reinvent how Democrats are doing governance.”

The exchange comes amid ongoing concerns about public safety, theft, and governance challenges in major Democrat-led cities.

San Francisco, in particular, has been under scrutiny for its handling of crime, retail theft, and broader public dissatisfaction, issues that have gained national attention over the past several years.

Schiff’s comments reflect growing acknowledgment among some Democrats that public frustration over crime and quality of life issues is becoming a political liability, even within traditionally loyal urban voter bases.

His remarks on national television further signal the internal debate underway in the Democratic Party on how to respond to these challenges ahead of upcoming elections.

WEF Whistleblower Blows Lid Off Klaus Schwab’s Alleged Money Games

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched an internal investigation into its founder and longtime chairman, Klaus Schwab, following whistleblower allegations of financial misconduct involving both Schwab and his wife, Hilde.

The claims, which include misuse of Forum funds for personal expenses and questionable workplace practices, surfaced last week in a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

The anonymous whistleblower letter, addressed to the WEF’s board, accused Schwab of using the organization’s financial resources for personal gain without proper oversight.

Among the allegations were claims that Schwab instructed junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars in cash from ATMs for his personal use.

The letter also alleged Schwab used WEF funds to pay for private massages at hotels.

Hilde Schwab, who previously held a role within the organization, was accused of scheduling what the whistleblower described as “token” meetings—minimal or superficial engagements funded by the WEF—in order to justify expensive personal travel.

A second source familiar with the situation confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that an investigation had been initiated.

The board reportedly convened an emergency meeting over the Easter weekend to address the whistleblower’s claims.

Despite Schwab’s attempts to prevent the probe, including his stated intention to pursue legal action against the whistleblower, the board voted to proceed with an independent review of the allegations.

He had previously announced plans to step down later this year, after more than five decades of leading the organization.

In a statement released through a spokesperson, the Schwabs denied all claims raised in the letter.

The spokesperson said Klaus Schwab plans to file a lawsuit against the anonymous author of the whistleblower complaint and “anybody who spreads these mistruths.”

The WEF confirmed the launch of an investigation in its own official statement, noting the board had “unanimously supported” the decision to proceed after consulting with external legal counsel. The Forum emphasized that the allegations remain unproven.

“The Forum takes these allegations seriously, but they remain unproven, and will await the outcome of the investigation to comment further,” the statement read.

The World Economic Forum, based in Geneva, is best known for its annual meetings in Davos, where global political, business, and media leaders gather to discuss international policy.

Klaus Schwab, who founded the organization in 1971, has been a prominent figure in shaping its direction and messaging over the last five decades.

The allegations and resulting investigation come at a time when the WEF has faced increased scrutiny from critics who view the organization as unaccountable and overly influential in global governance matters.

Schwab’s sudden departure amid financial misconduct accusations is likely to fuel further debate over transparency and accountability within the organization.

The independent investigation into Schwab’s alleged conduct is ongoing.

CNN’s Scott Jennings Slams Left for Targeting Maher Over Trump Dinner—Obey or Be Attacked

Image Credit: © James Crisp/Special to Courier Journal via Imagn Content Services, LLC

CNN commentator Scott Jennings criticized the backlash against comedian Bill Maher for meeting with President Donald Trump, calling the response from the left “an attempt to intimidate people” and prevent any future dialogue between liberals and conservatives.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Jennings made the remarks during a recent CNN segment while discussing the outrage Maher faced after visiting the White House earlier this month.

Bill Maher
Xxx Bill Maher Mug

Though Maher made it clear he was not joining the MAGA movement, critics on the left still reacted with hostility, accusing him of legitimizing Trump.

One of the harshest responses came from actor and comedian Larry David, who wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that compared Maher’s dinner with Trump to dining with Adolf Hitler.

The piece condemned both Maher and Trump’s supporters and has been widely circulated among Maher’s detractors.

Jennings offered his perspective on the controversy, pointing out that the criticism wasn’t merely about Maher’s specific meeting but about discouraging any similar future interactions.

Scott Jennings, an American writer and conservative commentator spoke at the Swearing-In Ceremony of the Constitutional Officers at the Kentucky Capitol.

“The message of this is not to — because Bill Maher, first of all, I totally agree, he’s totally in the right to do it,” Jennings said. “I loved his monologue, even though I disagree with almost everything he believes politically. He was right to do this and he was right to speak out about it.”

Jennings continued:

“But this isn’t about that dinner. It’s about the next one. Because this is the modern Left. It’s an attempt always to intimidate people into not ever doing it again. It’s to silence yourselves, or we’ll do it for you.”

According to Jennings, the goal is to send a clear signal to public figures on the left: avoid engaging with President Trump or his supporters, or face social and professional consequences.

“That’s the purpose of this op-ed, so that the next comedian, or the next person on the American left chooses not to speak to Donald Trump,” he added. “This is all an effort to get people not to do what you just said, which is to talk to each other and our political leaders.”

The incident highlights growing concerns over ideological gatekeeping and the left’s increasing intolerance toward dissent or dialogue with political opponents.

Maher, who has frequently clashed with conservatives, now finds himself under fire from the very audience that once applauded him.

Illegal Immigration

Four More House Dems Try to Visit MS-13 Member in El Salvador, It Doesn’t Go Well

Four House Democrats arrived in El Salvador this week to protest the recent deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had been living in Maryland before being removed from the United States.

The visit comes amid continued tensions over the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement policies, including the deportation of individuals designated as affiliated with foreign criminal organizations.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), one of the four House members who traveled to El Salvador, said the visit was intended to bring attention to what he called the “wrongful deportation” of Abrego Garcia.

“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” Garcia said.

“That is why we’re here – to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and deporting them without due process is not how we do things in America.”

The other Democratic lawmakers on the trip include Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Maxine Dexter (D-OR), and Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), according to The New York Times.

Their visit follows a similar trip last week by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who also met with Abrego Garcia while in the country.

Abrego Garcia originally entered the U.S. illegally and was placed in removal proceedings.

In 2019, an immigration judge granted him a withholding of removal order based on concerns that he could face persecution if returned to El Salvador.

However, under President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement orders, Abrego Garcia was deported earlier this year.

The Trump administration has stated that Abrego Garcia is a confirmed member of the violent MS-13 gang and was prioritized for removal due to national security concerns.

Administration officials have pointed to gang-related evidence and public safety risks as justification for the deportation.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, said last week that Abrego Garcia’s removal was lawful and deliberate.

“Abrego Garcia was not mistakenly deported,” Miller said. “A DOJ attorney mischaracterized the case, and that error was corrected. The claim that this was an accident is completely false.”

Abrego Garcia’s immigration case has become a flashpoint in the debate over the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which President Trump invoked earlier this year to accelerate the removal of individuals affiliated with designated foreign terrorist organizations, including MS-13.

The law has been cited in multiple deportation actions tied to public safety concerns.

According to court records, Abrego Garcia has been previously arrested in the U.S. and was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security due to suspected gang activity.

The administration has released photographs that it says show gang-affiliated tattoos linked to MS-13.

Democratic lawmakers have argued that even individuals with alleged gang affiliations are entitled to full due process and legal protections before being removed from the country.

The visit by House Democrats is likely to draw further political attention as the administration continues to defend its immigration enforcement actions.

President Trump has stated that the policy aims to remove violent offenders and restore order to a system that has, according to his administration, been exploited for years.

The White House has not issued a new statement in response to the latest congressional delegation’s trip but has maintained that its immigration enforcement efforts are in line with federal law and necessary for public safety.

Their trip did not go as planned…

David Hogg Crumbles When ABC Host Confronts Him on MS-13 Cover

DNC Vice Chair David Hogg and former Trump White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus engaged in a sharp exchange Sunday during a segment on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, centering on the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and growing tensions within the Democratic Party.

The discussion turned combative after Priebus criticized Hogg’s pledge to spend $20 million to primary incumbent Democrats.

“It’s $20 million out of the DNC’s pocket,” Priebus said.

“You can’t be on the board of the fishing and forest company and on Greenpeace at the same time.”

He added that if he were in charge of the DNC, Hogg would be “removed from the party.”

Hogg’s spending plan has drawn criticism within Democratic ranks, with one veteran Democratic strategist reportedly calling him a “contemptible little twerp.”

Priebus, who served as RNC chairman from 2011 to 2017 before joining President Donald Trump’s administration, expanded his criticism beyond Hogg.

He described the Democratic Party as fractured and lacking direction.

“The Democrats are a complete mess. They have no movement… They have no message… They have no leader,” Priebus said.

“It doesn’t get any worse than that. You’re defending Harvard, you’re traveling to El Salvador to defend MS-13 gang members.”

The comment referenced a recent trip by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who traveled to El Salvador on Friday to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Garcia, an illegal alien who had been living in Maryland, was deported and imprisoned in El Salvador’s high-security CECOT facility, a prison known for housing violent gang members.

The deportation occurred despite a U.S. court order that had halted his removal.

Democrats, including Van Hollen, have condemned Garcia’s deportation, arguing it violated legal protections and resulted in his imprisonment without due process.

Van Hollen stated he went to advocate for Garcia’s release, but Salvadoran authorities informed him upon arrival that Garcia had already been transferred to another facility.

The Trump administration has previously stated that Garcia is affiliated with the violent MS-13 gang.

Supporting that assertion, officials cited records indicating that Garcia’s wife once accused him of domestic violence—though no criminal charges were filed.

Hogg interrupted Priebus during the exchange and challenged the administration’s claims regarding Garcia’s ties to MS-13.

“This was not an MS-13 gang member, and you damn well know that,” Hogg said.

“The administration admitted this was wrong. In America, we have due process. We are a land of law and order, and this administration is repeatedly showing time and time again they do not care about what the Supreme Court says. They do not care about the rule of law, and you cannot defend sending people to another country where they don’t have rights.”

Priebus pushed back, pointing to public polling and intelligence assessments.

“Every intel community agency said Garcia was MS-13,” he stated, adding that a majority of Americans support deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally.

The segment underscored widening divisions not just between Republicans and Democrats, but within the Democratic Party itself, as figures like Hogg pursue more aggressive challenges to long-time incumbents.

It also brought renewed attention to the administration’s immigration enforcement policies, particularly regarding suspected gang members and individuals deported despite pending legal orders.

Van Hollen’s visit to El Salvador follows ongoing scrutiny from Democrats and immigrant advocacy groups over the Trump administration’s renewed emphasis on mass deportations and stricter immigration enforcement.

No further comment has been released from the DNC regarding Hogg’s spending campaign or Priebus’ suggestion that he should be removed from party leadership.

Trump Admin Releases Details on Some Gang Members SCOTUS Wants Kept in the U.S.

The Trump administration on Saturday made public the identities, photos, and criminal charges of several suspected members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), who are currently held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas.

The release followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier that day, which temporarily halted the administration’s efforts to deport these individuals using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The ruling, which came in response to legal action led by the American Civil Liberties Union, bars the deportation of the Venezuelan detainees “until further order of this court.”

Trump administration attorneys quickly responded, filing an opposition to the ACLU’s request to block the deportations. Government lawyers emphasized that detainees were given prior notice and time to file habeas corpus petitions before removal proceedings began.

They also urged the justices to limit any stay of deportations to only those individuals who had filed legal challenges.

The Supreme Court had previously ruled that the president can carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, provided those targeted are given due process to contest their removal.

“These are some of the TdA gang members detained in Texas that we are trying to deport,” a senior administration official told Fox News following the ruling.

The Department of State designated Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization on February 20.

The gang is known to have thousands of members, and the White House maintains that many of them have unlawfully entered the U.S., engaging in what it described as “hostile actions against the United States.”
As part of the administration’s response, images of the suspected TdA members were released to the public.

The photos show individuals displaying tattoos, weapons, cash, and gang-related paraphernalia.

Officials also disclosed details of each detainee’s criminal background.

Among the individuals listed:

Henry Jose Romero-Gonzalez faces pending charges for three counts of assault,
crimes against a person, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Photos show him
with cash, a gun, and tattoos, including one taken in a sports car while wearing a reflective vest.

Alessandro Benedikt Parades-Worwa is charged with aggravated assault with a
weapon and pointing a firearm at a person. Photos display various tattoos.

Cristian Andres Andrade-Vargas faces charges related to larceny and dangerous
drugs. A tattoo above his left eyebrow is visible in the images released.

Norge Yunaifer Rosales-Ceballos was convicted of criminal flight to avoid prosecution
and is charged with alien smuggling and resisting an officer. One photo highlights a
neck tattoo behind his right ear.

Felix Josue Rendon-Garcia faces charges for possession of drugs and dangerous
substances. Images show a tattoo with a date below it.

Darrin Moises Daza-Segura has been convicted of burglary and larceny. Photos show
tattoos on his knuckles spelling “VIDA.”

Ronny Javier Rodriguez-Tovar has multiple convictions, including hit-and-run, battery,
possession of stolen property, DUI, and shoplifting. He also faces new charges for
battery, resisting an officer, and assault. A photo shows a device inscribed with
“T.D.A.” and “Venezuela.”

Howard Emis Omana is facing charges for aggravated assault with a weapon.
Social media posts show him posing with a gun and making gang-related gestures.

Angel Ignacio Cardenas-Bravo is charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement
officer, child neglect with great bodily harm, resisting an officer with violence, domestic
violence battery, and multiple weapons-related offenses.

While the Supreme Court ruling temporarily blocks their removal, the administration has signaled its intent to continue pursuing legal options to proceed with deportations.

Officials argue that allowing members of a designated terrorist organization to remain in the U.S. poses an unacceptable threat to public safety.

Dems Confronted On the Street, Refuse to Answer About Noncitizens Voting

Several House Democrats declined to explain their opposition to a bill aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections, according to footage obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The legislation, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, would require states to obtain proof of citizenship before registering individuals to vote and to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.

Despite widespread public concern about election integrity, only four Democrats broke with their party to vote in favor of the bill alongside House Republicans.

Meanwhile, several other Democratic members of Congress either declined to answer questions or insisted that non-citizen voting is not a real issue.

During interactions recorded by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida was asked, “Congresswoman, why do you want non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections?”

She did not respond.

The individual continued, “Why do you not want to keep American elections safe and secure?” The congresswoman offered no reply.

Other Democrats questioned included Reps. Mark Takano (CA), Jasmine Crockett (TX), Greg Casar (TX), Eric Sorensen (IL), Tom Suozzi (NY), Seth Moulton (MA), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL), and Lateefah Simon (CA). Rep. Suozzi stated that claims about non-citizen voting are a “myth,” referencing tech executive Elon Musk.

“That’s actually a myth that, what’s his name, Elon Musk was on a show where he was talking about non-citizens voting in New York. It’s just not true,” Suozzi said.

Some Democrats did state they oppose non-citizen voting. Cherfilus-McCormick, Casar, and Jared Moskowitz (FL) said they did not support allowing non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections.

Contrary to claims that the issue is overblown or nonexistent, several recent cases suggest that non-citizens have appeared on voter rolls and, in some cases, voted in elections.

In 2023, officials in Alabama, Texas, Virginia, and Ohio reported a combined total of approximately 17,000 non-citizens discovered on state voter rolls.

These states took steps to remove those individuals ahead of the 2024 general election.

In Arizona, America First Legal filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County, alleging that 35,000 registered voters had not provided proof of citizenship.

The suit resulted in all 15 Arizona counties conducting reviews, ultimately removing nearly 50,000 registrants who had failed to verify citizenship status, according to Fox News.

Oregon’s automatic voter registration system also led to the addition of non-citizens.

The Oregon DMV reported that 118 non-citizens were placed on voter rolls; at least 13 voted.

In a separate issue, the DMV mistakenly sent the names of 1,619 individuals to the state’s Elections Division, of which 17 are known to have voted.

There have also been federal cases involving non-citizens who cast ballots.

Two illegal immigrants, Angelica Maria Francisco of Guatemala and Carlos Abreu of the Dominican Republic, pleaded guilty to falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and voting in federal elections.

In Michigan, a Chinese national allegedly registered and voted in the 2024 election, according to statements from Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor.

The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against states like Virginia and Alabama in attempts to halt voter list cleanups.

The four Democrats who voted in favor of the SAVE Act were Reps. Henry Cuellar (TX), Jared Golden (ME), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), and Ed Case (HI).

In response to Democrats’ lack of explanation, the NRCC issued a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation, criticizing their refusal to support basic voter safeguards.

“Democrats continue denying reality to explain their pathetic votes against requiring proof of citizenship to vote,” said NRCC spokesperson Ben Petersen.

“The American people deserve better than these Democrats who treat our sacred ballot box like an open border.”
