Video of two crying and screaming Ecuadorian women being manhandled in a Florida hospital by ICE agents set off a furious response on MS NOW Tuesday morning.
“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski shared the viral clip of Grace Stephanie Calero Cabanilla, 39, and her daughter, Giulianna Mía Carriel Calero, 19, being grabbed after they had been rushed to a hospital after a crash.
That prompted co-host Jonathan Lemire to chime in after Brzezinski called what she watched “Sick.”
“What are we doing here as a nation? What are we doing?” he exclaimed. “This is not the worst of the worst that President Trump promised that he would focus on during the campaign and his administration keeps saying. They're targeting a mother and daughter at a hospital in video that is impossible to watch.”
“In the case of that hospital scene, the sick thing, John, is that there are people, Stephen Miller comes to mind, who like what they see in that picture, because it sends a message to other people, don't come here unless you want to be this person,” Willie Geist stated.
As the clip ran again, Geist added, “This is the mother, and then later, the daughter, who had just been in a serious car accident was arrested in her hospital gown when she was discharged, awaiting deportation hearings. It sickens most Americans to watch this, but not enough people in the Trump administration.”
“This will continue,” Lemire interjected before repeating, “This will continue, the quotas are still in place. Stephen Miller still has calls multiple times a week with DHS officers saying, ‘We need to get our numbers up. We need more people.’”
