Rashida Tlaib Blows Jonathan Swan's Mind Saying She Wants To Abolish Federal Prisons

Axios national political correspondent Jonathan Swan for Axios on HBO.

"Everyone in jail is not the same," she said. "I think everyone is like, 'Oh my God, we're just gonna release everybody!' That's not what it is. Did you see how many people are mentally ill who are in prison right now?"The BREATHE Act would cut federal funding to local police and federal agencies and eventually close federal prisons. 
“To what extent have you wrestled with any potential downsides of releasing into society every single person who’s currently in a federal prison?” Swan asked.
“I think that everyone’s like, ‘Oh my God, we’re going to just release everybody,’” Tlaib began. “That’s not what I’m–”
“That’s what that [the act] says,” Swan interrupted to point out. 
“Yeah, but did you see how many people are mentally ill that are in prison right now?” Tlaib responded in an apparent effort to deflect the question.
“No, I know. But the act that you endorsed actually says release everyone in 10 years,” answered Swan, who pointed out that human traffickers and child sex predators would be among those in line for release.
