On Friday’s The eleventh Hour on MS NOW, contributor Jason Johnson appeared visibly completely satisfied when he recounted that immigration enforcement brokers in Charlotte, North Carolina, have had their tires slashed and have been chased out of buildings by anti-ICE activists.
Moreover, throughout a dialogue of the likelihood that former President Invoice Clinton is perhaps damage by launch of the Jeffrey Epstein recordsdata, Johnson laughably claimed that Democrats have by no means had an issue with convicting fellow Democrats despite the fact that each Senate Democrat voted towards convicting President Clinton in 1999.
Close to the top of the present as every panel member gave a choose for “MVP of the Week,” he selected the liberal college students in Charlotte who walked out of their courses to protest the push by DHS to arrest unlawful immigrants within the space. He recalled:
So Charlotte’s Internet is mainly ICE Division of Homeland Safety’s plan to arrest hundreds of supposedly undocumented folks in Charlotte. It has terrorized town — it has shut down site visitors. You will have faculties the place 30, 40 p.c of the youngsters usually are not exhibiting up. And these younger folks, on their very own — with out politicians, with out mother, with out mother and pa — stated, “We’re standing towards this — we would like our nation to be higher.” And hundreds of them walked out of their faculties in protest to say, “We do not need ICE right here.”
Then, despite the fact that he claimed that he doesn’t advocate the harassment of federal brokers, Johnson could not assist smiling as he knowledgeable viewers of brokers being focused by anti-ICE activists:
Along with the actual fact — and I will not say I am suggesting this habits — however ICE brokers have discovered that their tires are slashed. [It sounds like one of the male panel members laughs in the background.] They’ve discovered that they’ve been chased … Sure, they’ve been chased out of buildings — chased out of eating places.
After Ruhle injected, “However that is harmful habits,” Johnson added: “It’s harmful habits, however it’s a demonstration that the American public, after they’re not being listened to, these are the choices that they will take. I hope this administration listens and pulls again these ICE raids.”
Then, despite the fact that a Border Patrol agent was not too long ago injured in Charlotte throughout a deliberate van assault, Ruhle solely expressed concern for anti-ICE protesters: “And I hope nothing violent occurs — occurs to any of those college students.”
Earlier within the present, there was additionally a noteworthy dialog about whether or not Democrats are involved about implicating former President Invoice Clinton of their push to launch the Epstein recordsdata, main Johnson to exhibit amnesia over Democrats defending their very own Presidents accused of sexual misconduct.
The liberal MSNBC contributor asserted:
Epstein has by no means been about Democrats as a result of Democrats have by no means had an issue, such as you stated, with convicting their very own folks. That is an inside round firing squad amongst MAGA. It’s — it’s MAGA people who find themselves upset — it is MAGA people who find themselves involved. As a result of in case you’re a Democrat, you have not voted for Trump in any of the final 16 years price of elections.
It was not talked about that Democrats do, actually, have a longtime report of defending Democrat Presidents over such points. Not solely was President Clinton defended over a wide range of accusations within the Nineties, however sexual assault towards President Joe Biden have been additionally ignored in 2020. Since Clinton has not been President in many years, it’s now not within the pursuits of Democrats to protect him if they will undermine a Republican who nonetheless is President.

JASON JOHNSON, MS NOW CONTRIBUTOR: … they desperately want to alter the story to being about Democrats. Like in case you bear in mind, this complete factor — the entire, “We’ll launch the Epstein recordsdata,” by Trump when he was operating for President was as a result of all people assumed that it was going to be Invoice Clinton who bought uncovered, proper? That is what this — that is what the MAGA — that is what the QAnon Pizzagate folks consider.
RUHLE: However Democrats are keen to say, “Let Invoice Clinton get uncovered — let anyone get uncovered — it is in regards to the sufferer.”
JOHNSON: However, see, that is the factor. Epstein has by no means been about Democrats as a result of Democrats have by no means had an issue, such as you stated, with convicting their very own folks. That is an inside round firing squad amongst MAGA. It’s — it’s MAGA people who find themselves upset — it is MAGA people who find themselves involved. As a result of in case you’re a Democrat, you have not voted for Trump in any of the final 16 years price of elections.
It’s baked into the cake that you just suppose he’s a sexual abuser — whether or not it is, whether or not it is grabbing girls by their physique components, whether or not it is doing issues to his first spouse, whether or not it is going into dressing rooms. I imply, you already suppose that is who Donald Trump is. That is about people who find themselves true believers who’re upset. And they’re determined to show it right into a Democrat downside quite than Ghislaine Maxwell or anyone else.
