0.149 - 16.19 Ben Meiselas

Look, Democrats are bringing the fight now. Yesterday they were skewering these MAGA Republicans in public hearings and during interviews on cable news. Watch this as Senator Bernie Sanders just laughs in Donald Trump's face, basically mocks Donald Trump.

because Trump is trying to act like he draws bigger crowd sizes than Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC, when clearly Bernie Sanders and AOC had much bigger crowd sizes than Trump. Just watch Sanders just laugh in Trump's face. Let's play it.

31.699 - 47.292 Unknown Speaker

They hang on for little bits. They hang on for nuggets. And they get crowds. They say, oh, the crowd was... Our crowds are so much bigger than their crowds. Their crowds are small. If I ever had a crowd like their biggest crowd, they'd say it's over for Trump. He's lost the magic.

48.533 - 51.554 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

I think you're a little more than four years older than him.

51.634 - 70.616 Unknown Speaker

Something... He didn't tell... I know it will shock the audience. The president did not tell the truth. All right? I realize that will shock everybody. But that's the case. And in terms of the... Not that we want to get into crowd size. Why would anyone want to do that? We had twice the turnout in Warren than he had the other night.

71.277 - 88.753 Ben Meiselas

Then you have Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman, who looks at his MAGA Republican colleagues in Congress. He's like, do you all have a single independent thought of your own? Or is it just whatever Donald Trump tells you? Because you are all pathetic. Here, play this clip.

90.313 - 129.583 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

I don't understand how you'll be able to look yourself in the face knowing that you voted to allow our federal government to detain and deport United States citizens simply because you do not want to vote against something that Donald Trump may support. Do you have a thought of your own Do you have a belief of your own or is everything literally just whatever Donald Trump tells you it should be?

129.723 - 144.487 Ben Meiselas

Then you have Democratic Congress member Ted Lieu, who says the fact that I even have to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is batshit crazy. Here, play this clip.

145.95 - 178.141 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

The fact that Democrats and my colleague Representative Pramila Jayapal feel the need to even introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is batshit crazy. This should not even be a discussion. It is not even a question. U.S. citizens cannot be deported by ICE. It's the law. It's the Constitution. I will be astounded if Republicans vote no on this. You're back.
