Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris argued in a peculiar anti-Trump remark Wednesday that America “doesn’t belong to whoever is in the White House. It belongs to you. It belongs to us.”

She’s right, says Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley – though not in the way she thinks.

“Yes, the people to whom the country belongs voted for Donald Trump,” Hawley responded in an exclusive interview with The Heartlander Thursday. “News flash for Kamala Harris! It does belong to we, the people. And we, the people vetoed her and selected Trump. So she might want to reacquaint herself with the U.S. Constitution and the basics of United States governance. 

“And when she does that, I urge her to go and spend all the time that she wants in California – or maybe a foreign country. Maybe she would like to join the Democrats on their jet-setting trips to foreign countries to hold hands with terrorists, which seems to be their priority in life these days. She might really enjoy that.”

Indeed, in an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime Wednesday, Hawley dished on the Democrats’ obsession with returning “Maryland Dad” and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. from the El Salvadoran prison he was deported to.

“Well, listen,” Hawley elaborated to The Heartlander, “here’s these Democrats – what are they doing with their time? Are they cutting taxes for working people? No. Are they closing the border? No. They’re totally opposed to that. Are they making our streets safer? No. 

“What they want to do is fly on taxpayers’ dime to foreign countries, go hold hands with and sing Kumbaya over and kneel down in front of foreign terrorists, literally – and then, if they could, escort these people one-by-one back into the country. 

“I mean, it’s insane. They have completely lost their minds. And what it really shows is total contempt for the American people. I mean, total contempt. Here you’ve got the American people saying we want our families to be safe, we want our border to be secure, we want our kids to be able to go out at night and not get shot at. And the Democrats are saying what we really need are more MS-13 gang members in America. 

“It’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in I don’t know how long, and believe me, considering what Kamala ran on, that’s really something.”

Trump at 100 days — a disaster?

Democrats and legacy media have tried to create a narrative that President Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster – while Republicans, conservatives and many independents see a secure border, criminals being taken away, consumer prices and inflation falling, a possible end to the war in Ukraine and more.

How can so many people look at the same thing and see such different results?

“These people need a reality check,” Hawley said of the Democrats and leftist media types. “Illegal border crossings are down 95%. The gang members, the gang-bangers, the drug runners, are not coming into our country anymore. The illegal drugs that have been flooding into Missouri – now the spigot is being turned off. 

“These are tremendous successes that, by the way, the Democrats all said couldn’t be done. They said, ‘Oh no, you can’t control the border. No, no, it’s just impossible.’ Trump did it in, like, 10 days. Really, it is astounding, his level of success. 

“Now Congress needs to do its job, and Congress’s job is to provide a big, beautiful tax cut to every working person in the state of Missouri and around this country. They’re the ones who built the country. They’re the ones who run the country. And they’re the ones who voted for Donald Trump. They need some relief.”

Warrants to secure the border

Meanwhile, another judge, this time in California, has stepped in to slow deportations of illegal aliens, ruling those living here can’t be arrested unless immigration agents obtain criminal warrants from judges.

Is the Senate going to do anything to stop such a ruling?

“Well, I think it’s illegal as it is,” Hawley, a constitutional lawyer, argues. “That’s an insane order. Just insane. I assume and hope the administration will immediately ask for an emergency stay, which is when you get the judge to not enforce the ruling, No. 1. 

“Number 2, take it up to the appellate court. That’s is not what our law says. Our law does not require warrants for arrests at the border. It absolutely does not. It does not require a full-dress trial to turn around illegals crossing the border and send them back home. 

“In fact, our law says it is a crime to cross the border. If you see somebody in the commission of a crime, even a citizen could stop them under our law. You don’t have to be a law enforcement officer; a citizen under our Constitution can stop a crime in progress. So, that’s just the most absurd thing that I’ve heard.”

‘What dictator does this?’

And, amid Harris’ comments about whose country this is, Trump has made it clear he think this is, indeed, the people’s government – with extraordinary televised meetings in which his cabinet members update the American people on what they’re accomplishing.

Has any administration, or nation for that matter, ever been that transparent with its government?

“I don’t think that I’ve ever heard of cabinet meetings being televised on a regular basis,” Hawley says. “But this is how Trump runs the country. I mean, he brings people into the Oval Office and brings cameras in.”

Yet, people “who are at peak Trump Derangement syndrome” wail that Trump is a dictator, Hawley notes.

“What dictator brings in the media to everything, answers every single question, complies with court orders, even when they are certifiably nuts – which has happened over and over – and regularly defers to and works with Congress? 

“They live in a dream world. And back in the real world, Trump has closed the border. He’s turning the country around. And people are delighted with what he’s doing.”
