The campaign of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is speaking out to defend American war veteran and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council President Chris Crane. Over the weekend, Sen. Marco Rubio demeaned Crane, who’s critical of Sen. Rubio’s involvement in the Gang of Eight bill.
“This courageous ICE officer—a man that Sen. Jeff Sessions has called ‘an American hero’… has served his country in so many different capacities: in the Marine’s uniform, as an ICE officer, [and] as a representative for all of America’s ICE officers,†said Donald Trump’s Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller on Breitbart News Sunday.
Rubio has repeatedly made clear “where his priorities are†on immigration, Miller said— explaining that there are now three lanes dividing the GOP Presidential field: the Governor’s lane, occupied by John Kasich; the frontrunner’s lane, occupied by Donald Trump; and the “amnesty lane,†which is occupied “solely and exclusively†by Sen. Rubio.
Prior to joining the Trump campaign, Miller served as Jeff Sessions’ communications director.
On Friday, Breitbart News published an exclusive interview with Chris Crane, an ICE officer of 13 years and a U.S. Marine, in which Crane said Sen. Rubio treated law enforcement “like absolute trash†during his push to pass his 2013 amnesty bill. On Saturday, Rubio appeared on Fox News and implicitly denounced Crane and his service to the country. “He’s not an ICE official, he’s head of a union,†Rubio said angrily.

Sorry about the symbols everyone. Not at home and cant remember the website to convert it.
Ruh Roh Rubio!
Rubio is attempting to apeal the large number of illegal alien workers in Nevada that the GOPe will pay and bus into the Nevada caucases like they paid Black voters to vote against McDaniel in Mississippi.
I just received a fund raising email from the cabana boy, and told him very politely to shove it.
If this gets a fair amount of traction, this is definitely going to hurt Rubio in the south/southwest. A lot.
Really dont care what you received. Ive donated to his campaign and have yet to receive one email.
It’s quite obvious that Rubio’s loyalty is to the invaders of the US of A and against the citizens of same.
I think that is what most of us are hoping for.
Thank you! Now I have it on this computer.
I think I misread your comment. Were you speaking of Rubio or Cruz? If Rubio, my bad and my apologies!
Romeo will be outed as a bisexual philanderer by the RATs if he wins the nomenation, but right now the MSM will help promote him.
It is too bad, but we need to support Cruz & Trump, not Rubio.
You are actually the first poster I have come across that has openly supported Rubio. Congratulations and don the kevlar(Not that I Agree) but that is not the point.
This is supposed to be FREE REPUBLIC not Trump Republic. Primaries are supposed to expose the weekness in candidates
Unfortunately The Liberal Koolaid is strong and hard for many to stop after they took their first sip. Facts, History or behavioral patterns be damned in this Primary season.
We as a country will pay dearly I am afraid....
Uh no, I dont support Rubio. I am a die hard Cruz supporter. I did inaccurately respond to another poster because I read his comment wrong. I cant stand Rubio and hope that both Cruz and Trump take him down.
Article headline says it all”...........”EVE OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA VOTE”
If this ICE UNION official was so offended why didn’t we hear about it three years ago when it happened? So offensive, that they waited until it mattered to a political campaign.
Old School, it went:
A man moves to a new country. He is a foreigner.
His son is a son of a foreigner.
The grandson is a citizen of that new country.
Among other things, Cruz is always the 'also' boy. Trump knew Cruz would lose bladder control and wet his shoes in SC, only to have his campaign apologize again. So, Trump gains the high ground, gets the big rallies and will bask in the limelight while Cruz ponders what nasty trick he can pull this time to come in ahead of Rubes. Funny to watch.
