>> As we know there are migrants coming from Central America who are desperate, they're
so desperate for safety that they're still trying to seek asylum in a country that dehumanizes
and brutalizes them.
Nonetheless, Tomi Lahren has decided to make light of the situation and essentially judge
parents who are trying to flee for safety, she tweeted the following, if you traipse
your kid 2,000 miles in dangerous conditions you're not only a criminal, you're crappy
parent.
Now the judgment is incredible coming from a person sitting in a position of privilege.
Let's keep it real and I'm not just talking about privilege because of how she looks.
I'm talking about privilege based on the type of life she gets to enjoy, the very public
platform she gets to enjoy, the cushy lifestyle she gets to enjoy.
She has no idea what these parents are going through and how much they're risking just
to get themselves and their children to safety.
And she decides to judge them and call them crappy parents.
Well, Chris Evans, who's a very politically active actor, called her out and said wow,
the complete lack of sympathy, respect, and general awareness is astonishing.
Also I would carry my kid through fire if it meant escaping hell.
>> That's how Captain America rolls.
So, look, guys, I don't know, man, sometimes I worry about Conservatives.
Talking about lying sympathy and respect and awareness.
Like does anybody think they're gonna take their kid?
Imagine your kid, and make them go through a 2,000 mile journey for what, for fun?
For adventure?
And you know how risky that journey is, you only do that with your kids if you think their
life is in imminent danger, if the only option you have is to do this perilous journey, the
other option is even worse.
So any decent person, Chris Evans, bless his heart for risking his career, etc.
I don't think it's much fo a risk these days.
But until very recently and still to this day to some degree, if you would take any
political stance as an actor, they're like, it's gonna cost us movie tickets.
They say liberal Hollywood, no, the writers and the actors, a lot of them are liberal,
it's true, right?
But the executives are not.
The executives only care about the money, okay?
Are we gonna sell tickets or are we not gonna sell tickets?
How much of a profit are we gonna make?
Do not alienate conservatives by being too liberal.
Now as a conservative, you can say almost anything you want cuz they're scared to death
of being called Liberal Hollywood so they'll let Conservatives say a thousand things.
So it's still brave of Chris Evans to do it but he's a mega star, etc.
But guys, you don't have to be that, to have some degree of sympathy, etc.
But it's stunning to me that they don't.
Like how could you not empathize with someone bringing their two year old, their four year
old, eight year old, etc., and running for their lives.
Doesn't it take Captain America or an activist or someone with an extraordinary degree of
empathy to be able to say, my God, I wanna look out for those people?
>> I think that it's a very clear strategy to dehumanize and demonize the parents to
essentially make excuses for what Trump is doing at the border, to make excuses for the
fact that two dozen migrants have died under his watch.
You have to dehumanize them if you're gonna make excuses for Trump, and that's essentially
what she's doing here.
On one hand, they pretend as if they care about these children even though six of them
have died so far in US custody.
And they'll say things like, they're smugglers, they're smugglers.
We gotta be careful because these kids are being smuggled in.
They don't care about the kids.
They don't care about these people's lives.
It's abundantly clear, and again this is a way of dehumanizing them so you can basically
brutalize them and say, no, I had to do it.
I had to do it because they were bad parents.
It's disgusting.
>> So, lastly on this, I totally get that sometimes they don't win their asylum cases,
in fact the majority of the time they don't win their asylum cases, and so then they get
sent back.
But that should break your heart as you send them back, right?
But it doesn't.
They seemed to rebel in it when Tomi Lahren sends tweets like that.
She seems to be like, yeah, it's your fault and you're a bad parent, etc.
That's what makes you a bad person, not being in favor of the policy but kinda rubbing their
face in their horrible situation that they're in.
