Carlson CALLS OUT Speaker Ryan for Pushback on Trump Over Birthright Citizenship

“Consider the question of birthright citizenship,” Carlson said. “Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on our soil automatically becomes a U.S. Citizen. Context is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if your parents were tourists or illegal aliens or foreign saboteurs, if their plane was forced down to refuel and you emerged. It doesn’t matter. If you were born on our property, you are a citizen.”

He called out Ryan as he said that Washington is “lecturing the rest of us” on this being unconstitutional.

He played the audio of Ryan saying “You obviously cannot do that. You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order,” before mockingly saying, “Obviously, obviously.”

“Note the phrasing,” he said. “‘Obviously.’ That’s what people say when they don’t feel like making a rational case for their positions, usually because they can’t. Is it really ‘obvious’ that the Constitution requires us to give citizenship to the children of illegal aliens? Paul Ryan has no idea, he just doesn’t want to have a conversation about it. He wants you to be quiet.”
