Mother's plea on immigration and loss
And I understand that you're here for a reason.
I don't understand why it's only the Republican side that cares about our American children.
And I know that you're a mother.
I know that you're a father.
I deeply value that.
But basically what you just did, what you said was, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I have a daughter too.
I have a son.
I feel your pain.
You don't.
You don't feel my pain.
Because the next words out of your mouth were, but.
There's no but.
When your child is in a coffin.
There's no but.
And I need you to understand that.
And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here.
