"Dr. Johnson, during a segment on The 11th Hour with host Stephanie Ruhle on Saturday, said he won't say that I'm suggesting this behavior, but indicated that he was not upset by it, either. But that's dangerous behavior, Ruhle contested. The doc agreed it was dangerous behavior. Still, he said it was worthwhile if it meant showing ICE and Border Patrol agents that protestors hate their work."
"It is a demonstration that the American public when they're not being listened to these are the options that they'll take, Dr. Johnson said. I hope this administration listens and pulls back these ICE raids. Johnson, a moment earlier, had awarded his MVP of the Week to all of the students who walked out in Charlotte this week in protest of ICE raids. More than 30,000 students missed school in Charlotte on Nov. 17, coinciding with ICE and Border Patrol agents starting their operation in the city."
"Not everyone on cable news felt the same as him, though. Jason Chaffetz, a former Republican representative and current Fox News contributor, urged immigration agents to ignore the yahoos protesting them and to keep doing the right thing, during an appearance on The Big Weekend Show. To the ICE officers and their families and those who work at ERO and Border Patrol and everything else the president has your back America has your back, he said."
MS NOW pundit Dr. Jason Johnson reacted to ICE and Border Patrol operations in Charlotte by expressing that he was not upset by protesters slashing tires and chasing agents from establishments. He acknowledged the behavior as dangerous but described it as worthwhile if it demonstrated protesters' hatred of ICE work and pressured the administration to pull back raids. Johnson awarded his MVP of the Week to students who walked out; more than 30,000 students missed school on Nov. 17 during the operation. Border Patrol arrested about 250 people. Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz defended agents and urged them to ignore protesters.
