A prominent Democratic strategist left a CNN panel speechless after saying the US military could open fire on Americans who try to stop President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation of illegal immigrants.
Julie Rosinsky made the claim on CNN’s “Newsnight” late Monday night — just hours after Trump confirmed he would use “military assets” to help drive illegal immigrants from the U.S. after returning to the White House early next year. Will use.
“I promise you with my entire being, because I would probably be one of those people, that if someone comes for these people and tries to pull them out by force, there will be protests,” Roginski said. , who is the co-founder of Lift Our Voices, a nonprofit group advocating for workers’ rights.
Rosinski then reiterated his point, claiming that American citizens would “stop pulling these little kids out of these shelters.”
“What is going to happen to these people? What will happen to the army when it opens fire on us?” He said.
Fellow panelist Scott Jennings looked surprised before quickly jumping in and saying: “There’s no… we’re down the rabbit hole here.”
Elsewhere during the panel discussion, Rosinski suggested that the only migrants likely to be targeted under Trump’s upcoming directives would be “women and children” — and dismissed the possibility that criminals or terrorists could also be among those crossing the border. Are.
“Wait, how do you know who it is?” After being questioned by a fellow panelist about whether criminals were being allowed to go unchecked, Rosinski fired back.
“I’m sorry, I live next door to these people. I can tell you, they are women and children. Are there terrorists among them? I don’t know,” she added.
“But I can tell you … what I’m telling you right now, practically speaking, it will be American citizens who are going to stop these little kids from being pulled out of these shelters.”
Trump previously confirmed in a Truth Social post that he would declare a “national emergency” to fulfill his promise to implement the largest deportation crackdown in history to get control of the US border crisis.
“Truth!!!” Trump, responding to a post by Judicial Watch head Tom Fitton, expressed hope that the president-elect would do so.
“Good news: Reports are coming in that the @RealDonaldTrump administration is prepared to declare a national emergency and use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote on the social media platform.
Rosinski’s comments quickly spread on social media as conservatives dismissed his claim that the military could potentially open fire on protesters.
“CNN woman says she’ll stop military from deporting illegals despite admitting some are terrorists,” the End Wackness account posted along with a clip. The post, which had been viewed more than 800,000 times as of Tuesday.
“Julie Rozinski is a Marxist liar who works for the Democrat Party,” Citizen Free Press tweeted. “She claims on CNN that the military will fire on American citizens who try to stop mass deportations.”
The Post contacted Trump’s team regarding CNN’s comments, but did not immediately receive a response.
