Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel declined on Sunday to address an incendiary immigration video shared last week by President Donald Trump, instead saying that, "we know good people are trying to come into the country, too."
The online video, which was tweeted by Trump last Wednesday, accuses Democrats, without evidence, of plotting to help people it depicts as Central American invaders overrun the nation with cop killers.
"Listen, we know good people are trying to get into this country, too. They see the prosperity, they see the economic growth," McDaniel told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"They're coming to this country because they see it as a beacon of hope. We need to find a legal way to get people here, we need to find a way to fix our immigration system. Democrats won't work with us," she said.
The web video -- produced for the Trump campaign -- features Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican man who had been deported but returned to the United States and was convicted in February in the slaying of two California deputies.
"I'm going to kill more cops soon," a grinning Bracamontes is shown saying in court as captions flash across the screen reading, "Democrats let him into our country. Democrats let him stay."
McDaniel told Tapper that by sharing the video, the President was simply trying to bring attention to Bracamontes' story.
"I think the President's highlighting the point once again that we don't -- and I think everybody agrees with this, Jake -- we didn't want this individual in our country," she said.
"We don't want people being deported and being criminals and then coming back into this country."

She dropped the name but clearly is still a family operative. Trump better get her swapped out by 2020.
It’s a CNN article. You have to find what was said exactly you can’t read the title of a CNN article. Is it just me where’s the actual what was said not that bad.
How does one calculate the number of those of good will who could come?
I see this number thrown out with no support for meaning or context.
The more people willing to play the game, the more good labor.
We have laws, ... we have laws and those good people are waiting in line... ya can’t come in just because you want to.
I heard someone compare these caravans to the ships that came ashore with the first immigrants. There is no comparison! Every ship was counted for. They have records of those ships and every person on those ships.. where they were coming from, where the landed, what the person’s profession was, the job he was coming to take, the person who he knew.. If the person was sick, he could not get on the ship. If the person got sick on the trip, it was listed also.
Today there is no record of all the illegals who have come across our borders. It’s out of control... way past time to do something.
There’s such a thing as misrepresentation via cherry picked factoid. America, and even much of FR (including YOU quite often) has become sound bite driven. Things that could be discussed at length in, say, a weekly or monthly digest just go beyond such people’s ken.
This woman is yet another one of the “defeat snatched from the jaws of victory” brand of RINOs. She is a big NOTHING, and I wish she’d shut her stupid trap.
As a campaign donor for Trump, I get frequent solicitations for funds. If it says anywhere in the solicitation that RNC gets a cut of my donation, which it usually does, the solicitation goes right into the trash. I wrote and told them I would not give one dime to the RNC, but never heard back from them.
Rona has been almost as invisible as the Attorney General all year long. Finally, she resurfaces, only to throw a cup of water in Uncle Sam’s face. Rona, if you cannot be supportive of the president only 48 hours before Mid-Terms, then just be quiet, as you normally are. Call up a fellow RINO like Paul Ryan and cry on his shoulder. You may sit down again, Rona.
She dropped the name but clearly is still a family operative. Trump better get her swapped out by 2020.
Good people go through proper channels and wait their turn and don’t cut in front of others who’ve been waiting.
We have a valid complaint about sound and video bytes purporting to tell the whole of a large story. No, the chair is not an idiot to point that out.
Per the establishment RNC playing the Pelosi ploy; we have to first let them in to this country in order to find out if they’re criminals or not
Yes, dear. And there is a LEGAL way for good people to enter our country.
What is, is! Cameras cannot fake the action.
.
As usual, you are completely mistaken (willfully?)
There are numerous sources that you are too lazy to pay attention to.
(Yea, I know, posting to you is like shouting into the wind)
.
Good people who want to break the law, cut in line, and take jobs from American citizens and legal immigrants.
I should have looked at the CNN source and known better.
We are so accustomed to back stabbing GOPes.
