Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek Opinion Editor and author ofBad News: How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy” and gave Bill Maher all sorts of headaches on “Real Time” Friday night. Especially when she got a former U.S. congressman — also a Democrat — to admit that the Mexican border wall may have actually helped the U.S. illegal alien crisis.
What are the details?
In one segment, Mr. Unger-Sargon challenged Mr. Maher, asking him if he really believed America was better now than it was in 2018.
“How bad were we?” Mr. Maher answered.
“Ask the American people,” Unger-Sargon replied. “Inflation, immigration crisis, 8 million people crossing borders… [the border] Illegally…I don’t know who they are. A crime is being committed.People can’t afford to buy a house because of it. [high] Mortgage interest rate. ”
Another guest on the show, former U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), said that if former President Donald Trump had “built a wall, maybe all these people wouldn’t have come illegally.” “I can’t do that,” he said, trying to blame Anger Sargon. ”
Ungar Sargon clearly had no intention of letting the moment pass.
“Oh, so you support Are you going to build a wall? ” she replied with a laugh.
Dig a hole furiously and get out of it gaffeRyan manages to have Ungar Sargon declare, “You can’t have it both ways. It’s your fault.” [President Joe] for Mr. Biden [illegal] immigration. President Trump has said he will build a wall. He didn’t do anything! ”
In another segment, Unger Sargon said Biden could lose Michigan in the election because of the state’s large Muslim population, which he believes supports Israel in its war against Hamas. I didn’t accept that idea.
“I think the media really wants to get this story out there that Biden is going to lose Michigan over Gaza. The truth is that Biden’s EV market was extremely tough on auto workers; “We will lose more than 600,000 auto workers from Michigan,” she said.
Unger Sargon details:
There is a massive realignment of working class Americans who are very, very much on the Trump line. These are people who used to be Democrats and who used to vote Democratic. And instead of acknowledging this outrageous fact that the Democratic Party has lost working-class votes and trying to figure out how to appeal to them again, they are looking for excuses and other blame. For example…this war in Gaza, otherwise they would call them deplorables, they would call them racists, because they don’t want to admit that Trump has adopted many of the old policies. Body. For example, the democratic policies of the 1990s, such as border control. The idea that open borders and mass immigration are extremely punitive to the working class. It lowers their wages. It is a class struggle against the working class.It is an upward transfer of wealth from the working class, which will compete with immigrants, to the elite, who will employ them, and now they can do so cheaply.
