In a jaw-dropping display of callousness that has patriots across America seething, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families—parents who lost children to illegal alien violence—that he was "sorry" for their losses, but Americans are actually more violent than the criminals pouring across our border.
During Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Cohen had the audacity to dismiss these grieving families' pain while defending the very criminals responsible for their children's deaths. These are families who lost everything because our government failed in its most basic duty: protecting American citizens.
The Democrat's cold-hearted comments have sparked outrage across social media, with Americans expressing their disgust at Cohen's heartless response to unimaginable tragedy.
"@repcohen is a piece of crap representing #Tennessee. #democratsAreTheEnemy," fired back one furious Twitter user, capturing the raw anger felt by millions of Americans.
Another patriot destroyed Cohen's false narrative entirely: "@RepCohen you are lying! The numbers show a higher percentage of illegals commit crimes, by a large margin, than American citizens! Study your lesson!"
This is exactly the kind of anti-American gaslighting we've come to expect from Democrats who care more about protecting illegal aliens than American families. While President Trump works tirelessly to secure our border and remove dangerous criminals through mass deportations, Democrats like Cohen are literally telling grieving parents that American citizens are the real problem.
Cohen's comments represent everything wrong with the radical left's approach to immigration. They'd rather blame law-abiding Americans than admit their open-border policies have turned our communities into hunting grounds for foreign criminals.
These Angel Families didn't ask to become symbols of our broken immigration system. They just want justice for their murdered children and assurance that no other family will suffer what they've endured. Instead, they got a lecture from a Democrat who thinks Americans are the real threat.
How many more American families must be destroyed before Democrats like Cohen admit that every single crime committed by an illegal alien was 100% preventable? When will they stop insulting grieving parents and start protecting American citizens?
