A fun tactic of extremists is to argue that they don't hate out-groups, they just blah blah blah. The pinnacle of this was the antebellum argument that enslaved people were happier and healthier enslaved, and that enslavers were motivated bu their charitable natures. It was BS then, and it's BS now.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Q: Trump said specifically Republicans should 'take over' elections in 15 states. What did he mean?
LEAVITT: With the passage of the SAVE Act, voter ID will be implemented across all 50 states. He was referring to specific states in which we've seen a high degree of fraud like California & New York
