"Hes a politician, okay, not a general. I dont see a uniform. Hes a politician who works for Donald Trump, said Gutiérrez, according to The Washington Post .
Kelly and Gutierrez have been trading barbs since last week, when Gutierrez called the former four-star Marine general "a disgrace to the uniform he used to wear."
Gutierrez took issue over the White House's announcement that it would end DACA, an Obama-era program that gave work permits and deferral from deportation to nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.
As secretary of Homeland Security earlier this year, Kelly repeatedly pledged sympathy toward DACA recipients and told members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus he was their best ally in the Trump administration.
Still, Gutierrez and other critics have lashed out after the administration announced last week that it would phase out DACA.
Kelly, who has maintained that Congress should legislate a solution for DACA recipients, shot back Monday in an email to Fox News.
As far as the congressman and other irresponsible members of Congress are concerned, they have the luxury of saying what they want as they do nothing and have almost no responsibility, Kelly said. I begged and pleaded with them. They did exactly nothing.
The administration's plan to wind down DACA after six months has put pressure on Congress to take action to protect the affected immigrants.
But Congress has yet to coalesce around a proposal for so-called Dreamers the thousands of DACA recipients and other undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.
Gutierrez said Friday he was building a coalition of Democrats who would refuse to vote on budget and debt ceiling deals in December unless a solution for Dreamers were passed by then.
Kelly took credit Monday for the six-month reprieve, saying the program's shaky legal footing was responsible for ending it.
Trump didn't end DACA, the law did. That said, I worked and succeeded to give the Congress another six months to do something, Kelly said in his email to Fox News.
Gutierrez deflected Kelly's defense Monday, saying he understands why his criticism of the well-respected Marine general-cum-politician rubbed some the wrong way.
"What could be more mean and more vicious than to say youve got six months to pack up your bag and to leave the United States of America? said Gutiérrez.
Bump! :-)
The only uniform Little Luis ever wore was his Latin Kings sweater.
“What could be more mean and more vicious than to say youve got six months to pack up your bag and to leave the United States of America? said Gutiérrez.
Well, that WOULD be mean - but that’s NOT what President Trump is doing. At all.
Get yer haid outta yer @ss.
He sounds mean? What a pussy.
Well said, my FRiend!
Gutierrez is upset and confused. Kelly doesn’t seem to be ‘housebroken’ the way Paul Ryan is.
Aren’t RINOs supposed to just fold up and collapse like an old beach chair?
Thanks. I saw your post on another thread about his gang ties, doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Publius,
You are not advocating DUELING to resolve matters of honor, are you?
what a horrible, nasty, thing to say! Oh! The Shame!
(with keyboard dripping sarcasm!)
I have long believed that we should turn the state park in Weehauken where Burr shot Hamilton and turn it into the National Dueling Grounds. ESPN would cover the event. It would solve a lot of political problems.
Amen! I think you nailed it, Kelly is no RINO.
We need to get Louie one of those pink hats
Pictures at source. Weehawken,NJ.
Luis Gutierrez is an ethnic bigot almost without equal.
A nice place for politicians to settle their differences.
Ssshhh! don’t tell anyone, . . . but I agree with you completely.
If you know you might catch a bullet for popping off at the mouth, it will make you think twice about what you say.
The funny thing, the actual spot is on the grass between the sidewalk and the Boulevard. The sign that was there in the 80's could have been mistaken for a NO PARKING sign. LOL
Sheesh...I’ve seen some gerrymandered districts but that takes the cake.
