Way Too Far To The Left’: Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Skewers Democrats
Daily caller ^ | September 11, 2019 | Jason Hopkins

Posted on 09/11/2019 2:12:19 PM PDT by mplc51

Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson cautioned Democrats on pivoting too far to the left on immigration issues, warning that it could cost them in the 2020 election.

“Look, most Americans want to be fair and treated in a humane way, those who have migrated here who are desperate, who are fleeing really bad conditions … We want to take care of the Dreamers, but Americans also want secure borders. They want to get control of illegal migration,” Johnson, who served as DHS secretary during the Obama administration, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Too late....they are already on record.
Assuming the GOP-e isn’t still afraid and hiding under Pelosi’s skirt.

FYJJ. You’re as bad as they are. You’re just realistic enough to know that you have to be in power to abuse power.

Jeh Johnson is a red diaper baby but he usually came across as a tad less extreme than most of the top Obama administration figures.

Too late.

Even if they tack toward the center, they will be skewered by the words they spoke, forever...

Once again, Johnson shows that he may have been the most reasonable member of that Administration.

I find that to be true. At least he’s consistent

I've been watching Jeh Johnson on television for the past months.

For an Obama guy, he's been saying a lot of reasonable things. Trump may want to check him out.
