In a breathtaking display of leftist cruelty, Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee told grieving Angel Families during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday that he was "sorry" for their losses—but then immediately dismissed their pain by claiming Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow citizens than by illegal aliens.
The heartless comments came as families who lost loved ones to crimes committed by illegal immigrants sat in the audience, forced to listen to Cohen's statistical gymnastics designed to minimize their suffering and protect the left's open border agenda.
Cohen's disgusting performance has ignited a firestorm on social media, with Americans expressing their outrage at the Tennessee Democrat's callous remarks. "@RepCohen you are lying! The numbers show a higher percentage of illegals commit crimes, by a large margin, than American citizens! Study your lesson!" fired back one user on X.
"#Democrat Rep. #SteveCohen Tells Angel Families He's Sorry for Their Losses, BUT... (THIS is Disgusting). @repcohen is a piece of crap representing #Tennessee. #democratsAreTheEnemy"
This is exactly the kind of tone-deaf, America-Last mentality that patriots rejected when they handed President Trump a decisive victory in 2024. While Trump's administration works tirelessly to secure our borders and protect American families through mass deportations, Democrats like Cohen are still making excuses for criminal aliens.
The fact that Cohen felt comfortable delivering this slap in the face to Angel Families—parents, siblings, and children who lost everything because our government failed to protect them—reveals everything you need to know about the Democrat Party's priorities.
These families didn't lose their loved ones to "fellow Americans." They lost them to people who shouldn't have been in our country in the first place. That's the difference Cohen conveniently ignores while hiding behind manipulated statistics.
As one social media user perfectly summarized: "THIS is Disgusting." Cohen's comments aren't just wrong—they're morally reprehensible. Angel Families deserve justice and respect, not lectures from politicians who enabled the policies that killed their children.
How long will Americans tolerate Democrats who care more about protecting illegal aliens than the citizens they swore to serve?
