Tragedies Like Sheridan Gorman Killing ‘Going to Continue to Happen’, Dems ‘Afraid of the Base’
On Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said tragedies like the killing of Sheridan Gorman “are going to keep happening.” And criticized Democrats for refusing to support the Laken Riley Act.
Fetterman said that “this is a serious, serious failure, and, now, I – absolutely, it’s devastating as a father. So, I don’t know why anyone – and it’s – again, I was the leader, as a Democrat, for Laken Riley, because that’s why we have to demand – to protect America from dangerous elements that shouldn’t even be here illegally, always.”
He added: “Why can’t you just accept that if you’re breaking the law and you’re already here illegally, deport them? I just don’t understand. And then tragedies like the one that happened to this young lady, they’re going to continue to happen.”
Fetterman then turned to Democrats who wouldn’t vote that way and said, “I guess they’re afraid of the base.” »
