Democratic Sen. Chris Coons contrasted Donald Trump’s recent speeches regarding immigration with ongoing legislative efforts in the U.S. Senate and House, calling the former president’s language and proposals “increasingly extreme.”
Coons, appearing Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” said Trump’s approach, which this week repeatedly included language evoking Adolph Hitler, was working against the grain of Republicans and Democrats alike who are working on immigration reform in Congress.
“This is all in very sharp contrast to former President Trump, who is becoming increasingly extreme in his rhetoric about immigration and his proposals to restore the Muslim ban, use the military to screen and arrest and deport from the center of our country people believed to be undocumented,” Coons said in the MSNBC appearance, which you can watch above, after laying out the ongoing efforts in Congress.
