Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) educated Fox News host Will Cain about President Donald Trump's desire to deport U.S. citizens.
During an interview on Monday, Cain asked Frost why he had traveled to El Salvador to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a mistakenly deported Maryland man.
"Well, we're here because a man who had protected status in Maryland, a Maryland man, a union member or worker with a citizen wife and beautiful children, was taken out of his state and out of the United States back over here without due process," Frost explained. "It's about the fact that in the Oval Office, Donald Trump brought up that he wants to do the same thing to, quote, unquote, 'homegrowns,' homegrowns being U.S. citizens, a complete violation of our Constitution."
Cain, however, refused to take Frost's word for Trump's Oval Office remarks.
"I have to stop with what you just said," the Fox News host said. "Donald Trump made a statement about wanting to deport American citizens. Do you have that in front of you? I've not seen that statement. Can you please quote where that comes from, that he would like to deport American citizens?"
"He said it in the Oval Office," Frost recalled. "He said he wants to go for homegrowns... people born and raised in the United States."
"Do you have anything besides your word on that?" Cain replied incredulously. "Beyond your word, do you have the source of that?"

"There is a clip online," Frost insisted. "I encourage people to just Google Donald Trump, homegrown, deporting homegrown criminals. It is something he said in the Oval Office."
Cain still didn't seem convinced.
"Well, you understand how television works," the host asserted. "We have these fancy earpieces. I like to get very few instructions from my staff while you and I have a conversation, but we are in search of that clip as we speak."
"So as you and I have this conversation in the next several minutes, we'll be, we'll be looking for that clip."
