Oh Noes, GOP Mayors Take On Trump Over Illegals

This is so horrible for Trump

‘Our cities are no longer safe’: GOP mayors condemn Trump immigration enforcement

A number of Republican mayors are condemning the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement tactics in Minnesota, as they call on the president to pull back from Minneapolis and worry their cities might be next.

“It’s roiling the country,” Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt told POLITICO. “We’re all sort of feeling the angst of our residents and the fear that our city will be next and that chaos is going to inevitably creep across the entire country.”

Fresno, California, Mayor Jerry Dyer said in an interview that “too much damage has been done” with the crackdown and “the trust in communities has been lost.”

And Burnsville, Minnesota, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, warned that the agency’s current tactics meant “our cities are no longer safe.”

The remarks from the trio of moderate-leaning GOP mayors who have broken with Trump in the past came at the annual gathering of the nonpartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors, held blocks from the White House. Holt chairs the conference.

And then there’s ……. no one else. This is what the Credentialed Media does, find a few utter squishes and inflates the importance, making it seem as if there are a whole bunch who disagree with Trump, and that their voices are super important and Should Be Listened To. When, in fact, there are always going to be a few who disagree, especially when there are plenty of pure Squishes in the GOP. Burnsville is right outside Little Somalia, er, Minneapolis, so, of course Kautz is going to be Squish. Fresno is weird, because it is a majority Dem city which tends to vote Republican mayors, who are utter Squishes. Holt has been a Never Trumper who cavorts with the wackos at The Bulwark.

The Republican leaders’ calls for Trump to deescalate after the fatal shootings of two Minnesotans by federal agents show the GOP’s deepening fissures over the administration’s aggressive immigration agenda, even as the mayors and Republicans broadly offered support for the president’s overall goal. And their alarm comes as ICE ramps up operations in other states, including Arizona and Maine.

Do the voters care what the get along go along Republicans, the Never Trumpers, the Squishes think? Trump voters are thrilled by this.
