Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott said President Donald Trump may not really believe in his own"sanctuary city" proposal, and is perhaps just floating the idea to"make everybody crazy."
On Sunday, Scott said Trump — a known lover of cable network news, but particularly Fox News — may have only floated the idea of sending migrants to America's largest cities in order to troll CNN and others for his own entertainment. Scott's remarks come after the sanctuary city proposal went — in a matter of days —from a twice-rejected proposal to something the White House claimed it was already working on implementing with multiple agencies.
Trump then went into a days-long Twitter tirade against Democratic mayors of"sanctuary cities" and disingenuously accusing members of the"radical left" of suddenly not caring for migrants. "...The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!....So interesting to see the Mayor of Oakland and other Sanctuary Cities NOT WANT our currently “detained immigrants” after release due to the ridiculous court ordered 20 day rule. If they don’t want to serve our Nation by taking care of them, why should other cities & towns?" Trump tweeted Friday.
Several Republicans have tried to navigate around Trump's illegal"sanctuary city" suggestion, including one of his most staunch defenders, New York Republican Peter King. The GOP congressman claimed on Fox News Sunday he'd prefer another route to Trump's suggestion, but called it a"good bargaining point" to force congressional Democrats to change immigration and asylum laws.
