Tom Tancredo thinks Donald Trump has taken his anti-immigrant rhetoric a bit too far.
The real estate mogul and 2016 presidential hopeful needs to be a little bit more artful, Tancredo told the Denver Post. When asked whether he supports Trumps stance on immigration, though, Tancredo responded, God, yes.
.
. He should take lessons from me on how to talk to the press. For a small fee no, actually for a very large fee I will help him out. Youve got to learn how to talk about it, which takes years of practice, which God knows Ive had, said Tancredo.
Tancredo, a Republican from Colorado who served five terms in Congress, is perhaps best remembered for his opposition to illegal immigration and bombastic rhetoric on the subject.
People who cannot even spell the word vote, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama, Tancredo once said in a speech at a tea party convention in 2010.
During his unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign Tancredo boycotted a debate at the University of Miami because it was being broadcast in Spanish. He also ran an ad that referred to vicious central American gangs, now on U.S. soil, pushing drugs, raping kids, destroying lives, thanks to gutless politicians who refuse to defend our borders.
After losing in the primaries, Tancredo introduced the Jihad Prevention Act in Congress, which required immigrants to pledge that they would not advocate sharia law in the U.S.
Republicans and Democrats alike have criticized Trump for similarly extreme rhetoric on immigration, including a statement in his announcement speech that Mexicans entering the United States illegally are criminals and rapists.
Trump has refused to apologize for the comments, instead doubling down and appearing publicly with controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a prominent anti-immigration activist.
In a recent speech in Phoenix, Trump said that Mexicans are taking our jobs. Theyre taking our manufacturing jobs. Theyre taking our money. Theyre killing us.
Tom Tancredo, Steve King, Jeff Sessions and David Vitter all talk like gentlemen when bashing illegals.
Trey Gowdy for instance is a closet RINO and a loudmouth.
Its not an “immigration issue”
Theyre ILLEGAL ALIENS not immigrants..
Its a terminology issue...
So do 14 other 'candidates' for President!
These folks would have told the little boy to SHUT UP!! about the Emperor's New Clothes; too!
Note to all:
Tancredo is just doing some self promotion. Well deserved self promotion.
Steve King does the same because people like them aren’t exactly going to get big donors on their side.
The Huff Post idiots went along with Tancredo. Tancredo saying Trump needs to refine his message is not going to hurt Trump but will give Tancredo (from 2000’s fame) some publicity to people who are only learning about the issue from Trump.
Idiot Huff Post giving Tancredo free publicity to wage his war on Colorado GOP and Christie.
