I’m not defending her or anything but honestly, what do you expect? She’s a mainstream American politician. She might be better than most but if any politician at this point ran on a platform of not deporting anyone then they’d instantly be seen as too radical and “idealistic” by the media and the general public. I mean it took us a very long time before most people got on board with the idea that having a health care system similar to basically every other first world country wasn’t too radical.
The context for this was that a 95-year old Nazi war-crime suspect who happened to live in the district for which she is running for Congress was finally deported (he was actually ordered to be deported 2004 but no country would accept him until now, when Germany finally agreed), and the GOP attacked her for it, and then when she clarified that yes, she still wants to abolish ICE but some deportation will be necessary, like the deportation of Nazis suspected of being war criminals, the left attacked her for that, because that makes her a cop.
Her tweet was literally a reply to someone calling her out because a Nazi was deported. Y’all tell us to punch Nazis, but the second a rising millennial progressive says deporting in extreme circumstances (such as deporting a Nazi) must happen now and again, then you call her a traitor??? Y’all really have no idea what you are talking about if you believe there is no possible circumstance in which deportation is acceptable, especially regarding war crimes.
neat
This seems to be a prime example of posting something without context so that people will jump to the wrong conclusion
