JD Vance Claims Obama’s Rhetoric About Migrants Would Put Him On the ‘MAGA Right’

Can you picture ex-Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in red Make America Great Again hats?

Vice President JD Vance can — with Vance telling reporters at the White House on Wednesday that the former presidents would be branded as Trump-loving right wingers by their fellow Democrats in 2025, based on their previous comments on people who enter the U.S. illegally.

“The political leadership of their party has got it into their heads that the only way to be compassionate is to be compassionate to illegal aliens, rather than American citizens,” Vance said. “If you go back to what Bill Clinton was saying — even Barack Obama in some cases — what he was saying 10, 15, 20 years ago, you would put them on the MAGA right, based purely on their rhetoric around illegal immigration.”
