“The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals,” Petro wrote. Petro said even though there were 15,660 Americans without legal immigration status in Colombia, he would never carry out a raid to return handcuffed Americans to the United States. “We are the opposite of the Nazis,” he wrote, in a jab at Trump. Mexico also refused a request last week to let a U.S. military aircraft land with migrants.
Link to the quote? I’d like to look into that more.
just Google it, it was a big news story at the time
The link that was posted gave context. He wasn’t trying to disarm the population, he was talking about confiscating a firearm from someone who’s been flagged as about to harm themselves or others.
does it really sound unlike any of the other authoritarian shit he says? here, i operated the search engine for you: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-take-firearms-first/
In your own damn link it says he was talking about those who are “red flagged”, or is alerted to authorities as someone who might do something. You know, like when someone posts a manifesto online, he was saying they should be able to confiscate their gun and then have the court process.
He certainly wasn’t saying he wants to disarm regular citizens.
well, you clearly demonstrated your reading comprehension on the Snopes article… perhaps you should exercise that same skill on my comment because nowhere did i mention any of that nonsense you replied with.
Right, you didn’t give any context to the quote and tried to insinuate he wanted to disarm the population.
