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."

Yes,
But good people ... apply to come into the country legally. We have a procedure, just like other countries where you apply and wait for approval.
They are trying to claim he came in under Bush, but that was the second time. He also came in under Clinton.
without evidence,
Always stop reading after this
Only the RNC Chairman is a woman... Mitt Romney’s daughter.
If they are truly good, they can apply and be legally accepted.
Yeah, idiot, and the bad people don’t carry signs saying “bad person.”
Keep them all out.
What, you come back with more lies of your father?
She’s a disaster ... get rid of her, please.
Please come again? Don’t you mean “legally”?
You don’t deserve mercy before the Lord either — do you want to be held as though you had to have researched every jot and tittle?
At a minimum our government employees should have to be able to pass a citizenship test?
.
Take a poll idiot!
.
What the hell are you talking about? Nobody in this “caravan” is coming here LEGALLY or do you think they are? These so called “asylum seekers” rejected asylum in Mexico, thereby making them illegal immigrants NOT asylum seekers. Is this too much for you to comprehend?
.
Careful, he’s a true Tarbaby!
.
Why don’t you take that poll, if you are so confident in how it would come out. You are acting the idiot. And an antisocial one at that.
dude come on, comparing me: a legal and upstanding citizen to an illegal invader? Now you’re crossing the line.
We need to look at Mexico’s immigration laws, and make ours look the same (but in English, obviously).
The tar is in your own sin, not listening to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If something begins the wrong way, the thing by God’s grace to do is to make an effort to steer it the right way, not to smash it with a hammer.
