RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Sharpton: “Clearly, voting rights is a big issue with all of us and the fact that there is some voting changes in some of the state laws is of concern. But also, I take note to have the front runner and the Republican Party found by a court to be guilty of fraud and heaven to spend a half billion dollars when you head up the interest is something I can take into consideration, whether they are lawyers or not. But back to Congress, where you serve. And the Senate which you are running for. As Trump’s primary lead has widened, his grip on Republicans and Congress has tightened. And he’s openly bragged he killed the bipartisan border deal in both chambers this month. You represent our state with the longest southern border. What does it say to you that your Republican colleagues suddenly a perilous interested solving its problems then in appeasing Donald Trump in an election year?”

ALLRED: “That’s right, that’s right. I’m in mcallen Texas right now. I’ve been here all day. I can tell you Texans need us to deliver and actually get something done. Because we do have a crisis at the border. And we have that because countries like Venezuela, or 6 million folks have lift — a record number of cautions in December. Waiting to respond to it. And we have partisan effort to try and do just that. It’s tough but I think some fear reforms to our immigration system. It wasn’t everything I want, but it had some important things and. Folks like Ted Cruz came out against it not because of the policy but because of the politics. I haven’t seen anybody pay this but before with a say, openly, I don’t want to fix this problem because I want to run on it. To me, that’s a new level of specimen actually have insane. And you are. Right at all began, Trump has enabled it, with folks like Ted Cruz who take their marching orders and say I don’t care if it’s good for my state, I’ll do what somebody tells me to. Do I intakes instant what a senator like that. We want a senator who do what’s best for us.”
