Democrats Celebrate, Crime Victims Testify: The Human Cost of Sanctuary Cities

At 52:10 · chapter starts 51:40

The segment opens with a sharp juxtaposition: Democrats are celebrating the birthright ruling while the mother of a murder victim testifies to Congress about its real human cost. Jessica Gorman's daughter Sheridan was killed by an illegal immigrant protected by Chicago's sanctuary city policies. When Rep. Pramila Jayapal noted wearily that this was 'the fourth time' such a hearing had been held, Gorman responded with searing directness: 'When your child is in a coffin, there is no but.' Rep. Mike Lawler then tangled with Rep. Jamie Raskin for giving short shrift to Gorman's testimony while invoking progressive crime victims. Shapiro also highlights Ezra Klein conceding to Chris Rufo on the New York Times that concerns about rapid demographic change are not racist — noting it describes the majority of the country — and argues Democrats are making a political mistake by pretending otherwise.

And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
